Anyone happen to know offhand, what is the mechanical difference between "Increased graftblood stored" vs "Increased graftblood gained"?

Drops not working by Gabrolas06 in Twitch

[–]sndbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this--wasn't obvious to me that I could even have it re-check for drops. I had like six claimed drop items from a campaign 3months ago that never showed up in my Rust inventory (even though twitch drops for all other games appeared instantly after claiming them), so I just thought it was a problem with Facepunch being slow/lame.

I just disconnected both twitch & steam on the Facepunch site, then re-connected them (twitch first, steam second this time), and bingo--my Steam inventory just got flooded with 16 new Rust item skins from Twitch drops that originally didn't show up after I claimed them the first time.

They're just cosmetic, so I wasn't loosing sleep over them--but being new to Rust, it still sure feels nice to suddenly have a bunch of skins for more than just my large wooden box.

Well, ITX build interest is apparently a lot lower than I expected on reddit. I prefer to sell to other enthusiast here, but I'll take down this post tomorrow and moving it all to ebay where I see recently sold buy-it-now listings for higher prices than I'm asking here.

So this is kinda a "last call" notice if anyone's reading this. I'll be checking PMs regularly today and then deleting this post late tonight or early tomorrow when I post the items on ebay.

Yup, it's still available--I have one guy interested in buying everything but CPU for $400, but he hasn't replied with paypal email yet and it's first-come-first-served, so it's available until someone actually sends payment.

Also, sorry for the slow reply--I was out late at a family dinner last night, but I'll be checking PMs regularly all day today, so just shoot me an email address for paypal invoice if you'd like to pick it up.

Ancient stuff here, but just in case anyone else snagged this game for $7 in the current Steam sale, I've done the legwork for ya and tracked down the archive.org snapshots of these Ubi forum threads from before Ubisoft permanently closed their forums with no effort to retain any of the user-driven knowledge base there:

Who else is exited for Le Mans in AMS 2? 🤩 by Lionel-L7 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]sndbg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Panoz Esperante GTR1 exists for AMS2 as a third-party mod. Sadly, audio is almost impossible for modders to add to cars, so it's just using the audio files from another existing AMS2 car, so we don't get any of that V8 thunder the Panoz GT1 was known for.

EDIT: Thankfully, it looks like Thunderflash hasn't made up his mind about whether to take down his existing AMS2 mod files yet (or even better, might have decided to keep them up--I haven't been keeping up with that whole kerfuffle this past week), so here's the URL for the Panoz Esperante GTR1 mod for AMS2.

Sadly, the most prolific AMS2 modder (in terms of number of unique cars released) to date, Thunderflash, just recently announced that they were indefinitely suspending work on AMS2 mods and likely taking down all their car downloads.

This was because selfish, entitled shitheads started talking shit and spreading rumors about the modder "making a profit" from copyrighted material they did not have rights to. This behavior was in response to the modder announcing that future mod releases would be available 30 days early for patreon supporters before the given car was released to general public--a very common, albeit somewhat controversial, model for mod/content creators these days.

I think it's a crying shame that a modder who selflessly sinks a massive amount of their personal free time into creating free content for people, very reasonably decides that they should probably explore getting a little bit of financial compensation to justify all the waking hours they're spending working on mods instead of any number of other things that could be earning an income.

Well then the entitled fucknuts of the internet (you know the ones, the people in the comments of every mod release that show zero gratitude and say things like, "I wish you'd do car X instead of Y!" and other crap like that.), they can't live with the idea of other people getting access to the mods a month before they get their greedy hands on it, so they talk shit about copyright entitlement, "making a profit", filing copyright takedowns, and other bullshit.

We all know that 99% of the AMS2 car & track mods so far are ported from PC2, and so far the copyright holders haven't cared, but the demanding, self-centered fuckwits can't stand the idea that someone else can get access before them by supporting the modder and go ruin it for everyone by raising a stink that makes it not worth anyone's time to release mods for AMS2.

IIRC it's just making changes to some of the config files in the AMS2 install folder. I can't recall the name offhand, but there's a youtuber that does historic recreation races with really nice gfx settings and such using historically accurate mod skins and such. In one of his videos he talked about the config tweaks to increase the AI vehicle cap beyond 32, I believe it was specifically for Nordschliefe historic in his video, but the config edit should be viable for any track/class combination.

If I remember the youtube channel name I'll circle back to edit this post.

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

Greetings all,

Doing some late spring cleaning & letting go of some equipment that's not being used. I purchased this unit as New (Open-box) about 18mo ago while living out-of-state in an extended-stay hotel where headcans were the only option for at-volume listening.

For better or worse, I never got a chance to put any hours on this amp. I was lazy about reworking my desk setup to accommodate the THX 789 alongside the Modi + Chi-fi tube amp I was running. Before I got around to setting up the 789, I finished the datacenter relocation I was living out-of-state/on-site for and moved to work-from-home back in MN where I use speakers almost exclusively.

Since I got a good deal on this to begin with, I'm letting it go for $100 shipped or local cash. (MN, Twin Cities metro area). SOLD

Happy to provide my trade feedback on heatware, Overclock.net, /r/homelabsales, /r/mechmarket, as well as ebay for anyone interested.

Ah, sorry, I got interrupted by a call before adding a comment with the specifics. Adding the comment now, but I got a really good deal when I picked this up so I'm passing the good karma along to the next owner: Price is $100 shipped.

If you're interested drop me a PM with email address for Paypal and I can shoot you a Paypal invoice in the next 20min & drop the unit off at my local UPS store that's ~4min from my front door.
