Yeah sorry, word wouldn't come to me, thx

Depends on the quality level of the stainless steel... lower quality have higher iron content and are magnetic (not as strong as magnet->iron but likely enough to hold the nut).

username_that_guy

Very glad to hear its been good for your needs, truly! I admittedly have shifted needs dramatically from where I started, so my focus is more on a semi-professional and more widely capable 3D printing ecosystem...

Similar to the M5, I backed the new HeyGears G1X UV resin printer that among a handful of other competitors (including Eufymake) recently hit the market. Now, granted, that's a completely different type of printing & end-product, but point being that I'm moving away from a casual hobbyist use-case, with new evolving requirements -- tbh, I'm still coming up with them, lol 😆

I feel like at this point I'll sell my M5 and buy a bambu... far less headache. Which I hate to say, bc I was an early backer of the M5.

Want to pick up a tomb raider Joe for me? What did it go for at the store?

I'm in NC, but haven't seen any yet

username_that_guy

Nice! Looks better than both the old, remake, and new 2026 model that came out (i have each and would rather your print, lol)

username_that_guy

Wtf am I missing about 7/11's & slushies??

username_that_guy

They won't do anything, they don't care about you unless you're a whale.. even then, it's probably limited fux given.

I've lost gems in events past, had before/after screenshots and they still wouldn't give me equal 1:1 amount back

You can get an unbuilt, NIB kit for like $200 - $250 if you keep an eye out on ebay & other resell sites

username_that_guy

Keep it unbuilt = higher value... plus, tbh I think it looks awesome in the red box as the kit, since it's all laid out so nicely

For characters like seance dog or ones you really want to protect...

GO to Heroes menu and CLICK THE HEART at the top left to favorite them. Then they won't be considered at all for auto rank up.

I've got a 2k Thragg that I didn't spend anything on (I had a lot of saved resources) but to get past 2k, it starts eating blue & pink exp like crazy.

I'd say there will be a counter to Thragg, but it would have to be >3k anyway, 😆

username_that_guy

Thx!

username_that_guy

What's needed for that event (ie gems, dossier, etc)? Thx

username_that_guy

Well of course... the "constantly shifting meta" that drives mobile games

username_that_guy

A lot of fodder & ragnars... almost like they want us to run dual ragnars & Kregg, lol

username_that_guy

Yeah i have a 2K Thragg 😀 ...my highest by almost 1k, lol

username_that_guy

I see a nerf coming

I'm sure there are some services to help buy out of country and import, esp if you buy several things... tariffs here (US) are terrible right now -- and you have to declare the item as an 'adult collectible statue/figurine', anything that is considered a 'toy' either won't import here at all, or it's heavy tariff (I realize for you, op, it would potentially be going out of the US to you).

Quick tip, MANY of the mfr's that sell direct in US, do have websites that also sell direct to other countries where their merch is popular... UK is often one of them. So you may be able to get some items without too much hassle.

I have those bioware/ dark horse statues and my only complaint is the base -- its cheap plastic, and they are HUGE... the Garrus base is like 8" wide, lol. But, once you set it down, no one is looking at the base 😀

I collect ME everything and will be selling online soon via 3rd party platforms (vinted, depop, Ebay, and shopify). I 'might' be able to facilitate a shipment to Ireland, but not right now... point being, feel free to dm me and I'll keep your contact.

I met so many awesome people & passionate ME fans while collecting/buying all the ME merch I have (decent size collection), and decided to start a business collecting & reselling to fans, who uniquely appreciate the items. Older ME merch is getting hard to find and find in decent condition, and even to find resellers who treat the items as true collectors items. I didn't start this as a plug, and hope it doesn't come off as one! As a fan, I'm usually more excited about all the great stuff Bioware licensed over the years.

Yes but if you zoom in the lower rocker has a small point in the middle facing downwards, and the top chevron looks bent inward on the right (unless that top part is an optical illusion).

username_that_guy

Well it's technically an Enlisted, US Marine Corps dress blues jacket... but then it gets odd...

  • USMC Jacket
  • ??? rank on the epaulets - these are rather odd looking the closer you study them; we enlisted Marines wear rank as stitched-on embroidered patches on the upper arms, on this uniform
  • Jeans, yes the dress jacket is paired with ripped blue jeans it appears, lol

So quite the space uniform they've bungled together --

  • Please do NOT wear a USMC (or other specialized military uniforms) if you have not served & rated that uniform. Almost worse is modifying it to suit one's costume needs. A military uniform is not a 'costume'; those who have worn the uniform have given sacrifices of all levels, to maintain our freedoms. Be creative, start from scratch ;) Thx.

This is the canon for interspecies sexuality & appeal, so why not use biotics for everything in this regard... the Asari are specifically mandated to mate with other species or essentially become an outcast, so it'd stand to reason that they are always using biotics in this manner.

Or...

Humans are the dumbest of the species and are too lazy or incapable of learning alien languages, whereas aliens can easily understand English (not to mention they may not value human academics anyway, but know humans do).

Think i have a couple of those found on closeout... if interested dm me

username_that_guy

The newer ones are better, buy when on discount and you can get bare controller for ~$100.(or at least you could in the past). The one with the case, charger, etc. costs more.

I've had 5 Xbox elite controllers over the years. The series 1 had the rubber peeling issue -- it has nothing to do with oil from hands as someone proposed here - it was poor production and the rubber part was not properly adhered to the grips and would come off as a whole piece, not peeling in pieces normally. But I got about 2 good years out of it.

Series 2 fixed a lot of the issues of series 1. The controller feels more solid. However, as everyone has mentioned, stick drift, bumper switches, and mushy buttons do occur over time on many controllers. I have one that I've been using for about 2 years and it has one soft bumper but otherwise is fantastic.

I bought my son a stupid expensive SCUF and he liked it but over time migrated back to his Xbox elite.

Much appreciated! Thx!
