![]() That one-hour trial-and-error battle with the Protectorate was epic and that showed me that my guy isn't a human but Richard B. Had to take a week off for therapy and recuparete.ĮDIT2: At least the silver lining with Underrail is that even though my dude lacks that mech suit, he's actually more badass in a metal armor, with some more quality components in the armor and same with the main weapon (Scoped Compensated 8.6mm Huszar using W2C rounds). ![]() I agree but I also think that the early game is designed. Ive over 300 hours into Underrail, and depot A is fantastic as filter for bad builds and a way to teach you the mechanics of the game but now it feels like a constraint to the much more enjoyable areas that open after it. ![]() I had the same issue in Mad Max when trying to get that V8 motor. I realize this will be divisive but I wish I could skip depot A. *multiple head desks* I absolutely loathe when games do that. It seems that the only place where to get the suit is in that one - fucking - place. come on it's a GARAGE DOOR! If a tnt charge blows up rocks then why oh why can't I do the same with the damn door. don't know when you get that quest in the Protectorate to access that one fucking place in the caves. fuck.ĮDIT: And the process to join the Protectorate after the drill parts goes something like this I wager: Do quests for the mayor in Rail Crossing until you get Lost Train quest then kill the free drone bandits during the quest and it is then you should be able to join Protectorate. Oh for crying out loud! Took me about an hour to wipe the floor with the soldiers in Fort Apogee and not a SINGLE empty dreadnought but then again I didn't start hearing that humming noise in the barracks until after like 20+ something turns so. And mind you, I'm quite frustrated because I really wanna try out that suit but due to my nature I'm unable to read properly ingame when I'm focused on getting something I need to have so it'd help a big time to get to one of those suits early. You see the door has a dialog option when you click on it but when you first get to it there is only the cancel/leave option and the switch next to it is stuck.ĮDIT: I'm aware that more power suits are probably in Fort Apogee but I'm trying to figure out where could the player get a suit the quickest. Unless I'm missing something and you can access that garage door with some item not tied to a quest. Man this game needs a proper item locations guide done by someone because surely that can't be the only place of that mech suit. I rolled Psi too, don't worry I had to get creative against them, that's the point, the idea of setting traps is to maximize the burst you can do once combat begins.Click to expand.What? No, it's in the lower underrail caves and you need two TNT charges to blow the rocks but as I said, to access the door one needs to have joined with the Protectorate and a few quests of theirs done until that one particular quest is initiated, going by the wiki of course. I dont have any mines and Beartraps havent helped me much in the past but maybe I just messed up, but I cant kill 6 enemies at once with or without beartraps. I'm a psi build yea most people said to start with that so I decided to go for it. Research facility (Coretech) Research facility (JKK) Research facility (Praetorian Security) Restore Arke powergrid. If you can set traps but not disarm and obtain them, leave and buy traps in SGS and Junkyard. EG, going black eels tunnel allows you to skip the turret section, but at the same time the mutant encounter is kinda gimmicky to play with, but very spacious, while the scrapper route is pretty linear and systematic that it's hard to get lost.

This way, the water always siphons out from the bottom and never leaves stale water in the bucket. Two elbows are combined for one drain fitting. Here's the bato bucket, you can see the reservoir. Now drill out holes for the bucket-drains. A 3/4" drill bit would be enough but I went a bit larger. I used a pair of pruning scissors to get a little groove into the PVC, so the drill bit with the pointy end would grip right away. 10' PVC pipe cost's less than $4 and they will cut it for you to size at Home Depot.įirst we measure and mark our PVC pipe where the hole for the drains will be drilled. ![]() The batos are designed to be drained by 1 1/2" PVC pipe, which means the drains plug right into the pipe which in turn stabilizes the bucket. Store price (without the light) would be about $750. The rows are 20" on center which fits the footprint of the 1K light and reflector I'm using.

That might be the reason for the decline of the batos in the community. You might have seen the bato buckets in a system called "Eve's Garden", which is a "Brand" product and therefore costs about $350 for a 6 pot and up to $600 for a 12 bucket system. Batos have been around for years with proven results but lately haven't been seen that much. The other big advantage over other drip systems like tube, tubbler or slab set-ups is that the plants are in individual containers that can be moved around, plus the (almost) 3 gallon container provides enough space for the root-mass. No more fear of power outage, the bato buckets have a 2l (about 1/2 Gallon) reservoir built in, that works as a wick system if nothing comes from above. ![]() It is a very efficient top-drip set-up, easy to use and very safe.

Forbes ranked her among the top ten highest-paid celebrities in 20. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 20. Her acclaimed Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2023 is the most watched in history. Her accolades include nine Grammy Awards, 13 American Music Awards (including the Icon Award), 12 Billboard Music Awards, five World Music Awards, six Guinness World Records, the NAACP's President's Award, and an Academy Award nomination. She has achieved 14 number-one singles, 32 top-ten singles in the US, and 31 top-ten entries in the UK. With sales of over 250 million records worldwide, Rihanna is the second-best-selling female music artist of all time and the highest-certified female artist of all time on the RIAA's Top Artists (Digital Singles) ranking. During her musical career, Rihanna has collaborated with many artists, such as Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Shakira. It became her second US number one album and featured the chart-topping single " Work". Her eighth album, Anti (2016), showcased a new creative control following her departure from Def Jam. The albums spawned a string of chart-topping singles, including " Rude Boy", " Only Girl (In the World)", " What's My Name?", " S&M", " We Found Love", and " Diamonds". Rihanna continued to mix pop, dance, and R&B genres on her next studio albums, Rated R (2009), Loud (2010), Talk That Talk (2011), and Unapologetic (2012), the last of which became her first Billboard 200 number one. The chart-topping single " Umbrella" earned Rihanna her first Grammy Award and catapulted her to global stardom. Her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), incorporated elements of dance-pop and established her status as a major icon in the music industry. After signing with Def Jam in 2005, Rihanna soon gained recognition with the release of her first two studio albums, Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl Like Me (2006), both of which were influenced by Caribbean music and peaked within the top ten on the US Billboard 200 chart. She is widely regarded as one of the most prominent singers of the 21st century. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a similar purchase.Robyn Rihanna Fenty ( / r i ˈ æ n ə/ ⓘ ree- AN-ə born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer, businesswoman, actress, and songwriter. My bottom line? I couldn't be happier with this unit and my dealings with B&A Woodworks. I'm taking the liberty of including two pictures Brian took before shipping it. This was a particularly good batch of walnut and its graining is remarkable. And the cabinet itself? Just what I envisioned - functional and a thing of beauty. Brian's professionalism and skill are apparent in the time and care he spent protecting his work. I grabbed a Phillips screwdriver and began to uncrate the cabinet. I took delivery of the unit today and was like a kid at Christmas! Straight off the bat, the freight driver and I were impressed with the solid, professional crating that protected the unit. Brian told me to expect a lead time of 8-10 weeks, but he completed it slightly sooner. After just one or two exchanges of emails and sketches, Brian did a mock-up of what I had in mind and he nailed it! I decided to go with walnut and it proved to be an excellent choice. I wanted something worthy of this life-long hobby. I had been looking high and low for something decent to hold my stereo equipment and albums most everything I ran across was imported junk or ridiculously expensive. When I received word that Brian and Amiee were establishing their own woodworking shop it was an omen. We have been very pleased with those items and were sorry to learn of the business closing. Five years ago, we purchased a large media console and matching custom-built coffee table from Standout Designs (with whom Brian was employed). ![]() It's the difference between the darkest part of the image and the brightest. Contrast ratio is the most important part of any projector's performance. Once the projectors are fully set up and objectively measured, we watch a variety of content, including TV, movies, and games, both with the projector by itself, and compared side-by-side with two direct competitors.īroadly speaking, we're looking for the three picture quality aspects: contrast ratio, overall light output and color reproduction. Contrast ratios are measured in each lamp and iris mode (when available). Test patterns, sent from CalMan, are then used to adjust the various picture settings so the projector looks its best before measurement and evaluation. Every lamp-based projector is "burned in" for 50 hours before measuring, and all projectors are initially set up using their most accurate color temp and color modes. The data is collected and collated by Portrait Displays CalMan Ultimate software, which helps us evaluate every PJ we review. We use specialized test equipment, including a Photo Research spectroradiometer, a Minolta LS-100 luminance meter and an AEMC CA813 illuminance meter. This is because many highly portable and budget models use the Aptoide store, which won't have as many streaming app options, and those it does have often have compromised functionality (no HD, difficult to navigate, and so on).ĬNET puts projectors through a rigorous and unbiased testing process that's the culmination of more than two decades of projector reviews. If you're looking for some kind of "all-in-one" device with speakers, make sure it has a full version of Android TV inside for streaming, otherwise you'll want to connect a streaming stick like Roku. Lens shift and zoom are handy if you want more flexibility in placement. Just get one that has great picture quality and high brightness. What features should you look for?: If you're connecting the projector to an audio system (and you should, either receiver/speakers or soundbar), then you don't really need many features in the projector itself. Great picture quality, but they're well beyond what we usually test. Above $3,000 there's a big jump in picture quality again, and from there the sky's the limit. Spending more gets you incremental improvements. ![]() They're not as bright, but they're great for their intended use. Some highly portable and battery-powered models are far less. ![]() Less than that usually requires a compromise of some kind. How much should you spend?: $1,000 is the sweet spot with projectors, where you can get great picture quality and brightness. A claimed 2,000 lumen projector is probably brighter than a 500 lumen projector, but 1,500 and 1,700 lumen projectors are probably the same. But the specs are largely divorced from reality. Companies claim million-to-one contrast ratios, insane brightness ratings, and even more. For mixed-use rooms where it'll be hard or impossible to totally control the ambient light, or if you want an outdoor movie night with an image the size of the side of your house, one that prioritizes light output will be better, because the contrast ratio won't be as noticeable. Where are you using it?: For light controlled rooms and home theaters, a projector with a high contrast ratio is better than one that prioritizes light output. However, a brighter projector will be easier to see with some lights on, and can create an even bigger image. ![]() A projector with a great contrast ratio but only average light output is going to look better than the opposite. Even so, there's a wide range of picture quality even among projectors of a similar price. Want a TV that's 100-inches or more? Only a projector can do that, if you're not ultrarich. However, they largely make up for it with absolutely massive images. Picture quality: Projectors lag behind TVs when it comes to overall picture quality. |
