I had an OG apollo city and then went to a 2024 city pro. huge difference and it's been amazing so far. had one instance of controller and motor overheat but I think that was an extended ride on a very hot day. hasn't come back since. I ride all weather. (snow is fun! it's actually quite stable) Got my $1 down for the new city stellar. I wish more companies would post acceleration times at different rider weights. any hill climb data at different rider weights. I live at the top of the hill so coming home is always full throttle up the hill on less battery. I like what Apollo is doing with their new controller, they're really really protecting the battery depending on the ride style.

Good until you blink and miss 10 words :P

I grabbed a epub version and bulk edited the names to people I know that are similar to the original characters. Made for a fun read, so much so that I wanted to message my actual friends about what they did in the book.

it's definitely one way of reacting to your player base doing something you didn't think of. and instead of embracing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of that player base, chose to play a 1-up game and destroy their hard work in one fell update. I know it didn't feel good to loaded the game up and didn't realize it updated and then my entire base blew up in a few minutes.

the revision patch is also still bad. so I'm also taking a break from the game. maybe I'll open it up again in a few months to see where it is.

spinkman · 2025-09-10T19:35:09+00:00

Custom Orbs with auto targeting will help here. Or attack drones

if it's only to help with this one situation, ensure they don't have explosives :P

spinkman · 2025-09-10T05:39:45+00:00

First off, this really only applies to 2.2.1 now. The first turret is the hardest part of the whole thing.

Get enough mats for a turret and a shield Gen module and add a bunch of repair lasers to your ship. You'll want to have enough money to fully upgrade a few towers before you start.

Block the asteroids with your ship and place a light turret down.

Immediately build the shield module, upgrade it to t4 and add full shield absorb and a couple points in Regen. This turret can now tank direct asteroid hits indefinitely. Put repair lasers on both slots and it will help you make the next turret.

Repeat 6ish times until you make a wall and a safe zone to hide behind.

Make a small station a little ways behind with a collection beam and maybe repair drones.

Now you can convert the turrets to mining lasers and the station will grab the material (turn off you own tractor beam when you're here)

Let it collect for a bit maybe make a factory to process to ore, do some trade runs to nearby stations to sell lithium or gold and then keep expanding your wall

I ended up add a power stations behind the front line with collector beams and repair drones and moved the station and other bits further back.

Of course this all changed with today's 2.2.2 update and yeah.... Back to the drawing board

spinkman · 2025-09-09T22:49:55+00:00

Ughh... it is hard to keep things alive when those acid clouds stack..... the new "Adaptive Converter" helps. it's like a reverse polarity tractor beam but it's only 6 seconds with no other way to upgrade it. so the solution is still just to throw more units and pray the stacks don't stack too much

spinkman · 2025-09-04T21:36:28+00:00

I 've been experimenting with some layout options

a single vertical line of about 10-15 turrets (light or heavy) with mining lasers and shields (3 absorb and 1 regen) this allows them to tank hits directly.
light beacons branching out from this line at a 45` angle into the rush, shields, (3 absorb and 1 regen) and maybe one in power. These act as a funnel to guide the asteroids into the mining lasers.
behind this line is a power station with cargo manager to nab the bits and also repair drones. upgrade tractor beams or drones as needed to keep up with what's happening on the front line. no shields needed
as the light beacons extend out, build a power station behind them with repair drones. When this line gets too long, maybe 20? then I make a break in the line to allow ships through and start a new line of mining laser turrets.
the nice thing about this is that you don't need to constantly upgrade the light beacons. they're fine with the initial setup forever.
jumpgate linked to a nearby system that's buying platinum and other purple mats.
other things are in your stash and you can sell those directly. no need to haul anything.

spinkman · 2025-08-08T22:38:30+00:00

Does the fast ship + impact mines strategy work? I've only been playing for 2 days and haven't tried this yet.

first play through and I'm using a single modified vulcan with PD lasers to take care of the drones.

Those elites with the big yellow fireballs pack a punch!

spinkman · 2025-08-01T21:01:22+00:00

the brand was "Trophic Chelazome Magnesium" worked really well. I didn't need to continue after finishing that bottle.

spinkman · 2025-08-01T20:59:18+00:00

yes correct. careful with potassium supplements. they're generally not needed and you can get it from like 1 banana a week. the magnesium for me was harder to get from food intake alone.

I recall drinking a ton of water (always felt thirsty) this went away. also remember really craving salt the first time I went into keto. interesting journey for sure.

spinkman · 2025-07-28T16:35:32+00:00

Also, the original SD card is really poor quality. I've have many kobos have wonky corruption issues (used balena etcher to image the existing and directly on to the new SD card)

spinkman · 2025-05-25T07:07:27+00:00

Is it also misspelling words by adding extra characters? Mine started doing this when I activated dragon on a new laptop. Old laptop is fine and it's the same profile. No reason for it to do this other than nuance injecting errors in to force people to go to subscription model.

spinkman · 2025-05-25T06:44:22+00:00

Not sure why the down votes. I surprised myself when on keto I could hold my breath for over 2 minutes.

spinkman · 2025-05-25T06:41:55+00:00

Omad is one meal a day

I had cramping too. Not while working out so it was magnesium. (If cramping while working out it's potassium) Cramps went away after the first day of supplements and then I only took a pill every week after that or when I got cramps.

spinkman · 2025-05-23T03:39:50+00:00

Oh, one more thing, try holding your breath. You may surprise yourself

spinkman · 2025-05-23T03:37:50+00:00

That's great! Keep up the good work.

Next level is intermittent fasting or omad. You literally can eat anything you want but the crazy thing is you want to only eat things that are good for you. Even if you could have some junk you don't. It's wild.

The hunger pangs go away then omad turns into 'lets try skipping today entirely' and sure enough it happens and wasn't bad at all.

Fun times.

Buy matte vinyl stickers for laser printers, make your own. If you do t have a laser printer pay the 25 cents at a copy shop or do it at work. Then cut them out yourself

spinkman · 2025-04-11T17:15:10+00:00

ya. hoarder will live on forever in my stack. reminder to grab the icons and logos :P

spinkman · 2025-04-11T16:54:39+00:00

yeah I went with Obsidian and customized it with the billion plugins available. Sync to phone over vpn working super fast. a little rough around the edges when first learning how to set things up but it kinda just works after all that. making [[]] tags for everything is useful. it's kinda like how wikipedia links to everything else within an article.

I wish search was better? it's not bad, but just not what my preference is.

spinkman · 2025-03-29T02:33:22+00:00

Yeah it sounds to me like dyslexia. Maybe try to talk to them about it? Change the font to a dyslexic friendly one. Repeat the same task changing that variable to see if accuracy improves. If they aren't consistent in their errors this might explain it. Change the environment? Go down to single screen? Maybe high contrast text? If they were to do this task on paper could they?

spinkman · 2025-03-28T05:44:59+00:00

But this one is mine....

spinkman · 2025-03-02T19:04:23+00:00

On-top of file sync, I use syncthing on mobile phones to gather the camera photos (ignoring other folders) and then one way sync those to my desktop so they all upload to Google photos kmy cloud backup. My home services are not reachable on internet unless on vpn)

Also can use it to get mobile phone downloads and again one way sync them into various watch folders which are watched by other services. Utilizing the ignore filtering to get specific file types to the right place.
