  • Invincible build. Not mine - found it on YT or Overframe.

    Armed with a Kuva Nukor running Cascadia Flare. Great weapon as-is, but add in the Furax w/ Amalgam Furax Body Count to boost your fire rate. It’s a “stat stick” of sorts.

    Merulina Guardian also boosts fire rate for your secondary. With such high fire rate the Nukor turns into a rapid-fire microwave capable of doing enough damage to nuke just about anything on the regular star chart and all of SP. The build is great is for solo Netracells, too. You do need to practice just tapping the fire button and not holding it, as ammo becomes a real concern (I use Carrier to mitigate this, but I still run out.)

    What trips me up are the persistent Yareli-specific bugs that randomly lock out weapons and entering/exiting spoiler mode. It seems like every major update has fixes for her (they just fixed her not getting affinity while using Merulina) but there’s still more. I’m hoping they can wrap it all up by the time her Prime releases.












  • The biggest red flag here is that someone is trying to derive meaning from Eva, an anime whose religious/philosophical imagery and themes were used “just because they looked and sounded cool” (not a direct quote.) I mean I like it too, but it’s gibberish.

    I’ll say this about OSS and the community around it: It’s painfully obvious at times that while the individuals working on these projects (often thanklessly) are brilliant people, they often lack the communication and project leadership skills necessary to make a project thrive. The last few posts I’ve seen on this particular issue have been extremely vague and for whatever reason just won’t come out and say what they mean. They’re verbose, go off on tangents, and beat around the bush. We must first have explained to us the plots of TV shows, movies, and other ancillary things in order to understand what likely boils down to “people with differing viewpoints cannot find common ground.” I see the linked blog post as nothing more than someone trying to work out relatively complex feelings about the time/effort they contributed to a project they no longer have faith in more than an “expose-eh.” Given that people in the comments of previous threads have boiled the issue with NixOS down to a sentence or two, I think this is an accurate view.

    See: Soft skills.




  • Very cool! Still early, so ran into some bugs:

    • Buggy playback on some files. Would either not play or play back glitched. Using Pipewire plugin.
    • Inconsistent vert/hori split behavior. Not sure I completely understand what I was doing wrong, but when editing the layout sometimes a split would open to the right of the widget area I was trying to split.

    Anyway, I like that Foobar can group albums next to their cover art in a playlist. Made visually scrolling through a large playlist much more interesting IMO, and fooyin does it well! Now to see if I can tweak the size of them.
