    Sites like that saved me thousands getting my psych degree. God bless professors like this. Also the ones who were like, “the new edition of the book you need for this semester is $500, but you can get the previous edition for $5 at this site. Here’s copies of the pages that were changed.” or “I photocopied every page you need for this semester from the book for all of you.”

    I really like the thought that it brings production and supply lines into play. If we lose Tien Kwan, poof, no more mechs! It gives them the ability to add other things and make them exist “physically” in the game. Yes, we want to liberate everything, but how do we do that if our manufacturing lines are under siege? We can’t be everywhere at once. More than that, if they were to introduce supply disruption, lets say a key planet is hit particularly hard and fast, maybe it takes a while to get things up and running again? Like losing Malevelon Creek, but with that much more urgency because there is more at stake to lose.

    It’d definitely let them add more depth to the narrative and really change up the way we go about fighting too.

    I’ve been servicing controllers for at least 25 years now. The new analog sticks they put in now are terrible. Particularly because they’re not actually analog anymore. Any dirt they pick up blocks the digital contacts and stops them from registering the stick position. That dirt gets pushed to the edges of the stick range and you end up with an outer dead zone.

    WD-40 makes an electrical contact cleaner that works excellent when my Oculus controller starts drifting. Don’t even need to take it apart. Just pull the battery, spray and roll the stick around, and let it dry. It’ll be like brand new. Totally saved me from having to ship it back to the company. For Switch controllers or any controller with a battery that’s not easily removed and can’t be completely shut off, you’d need to actually take it apart to clean. I’ve seen guys do it without removing the battery, but you risk shorting them. Only one I’d be scared of is the PS5 controller. I’ve seen the breakdown on them and there’s a lot to damage accidentally in it. Otherwise, most controller breakdowns are pretty easy and can be found on youtube. Just takes the right tools, which you can get on Amazon for like $10.
