I've been having some very strange trouble with my mech lately that I haven't been able to track down the source of. I was hoping you could help?

Also, just to get it out of the way, I do not have a Manticore. I don't know why everyone keeps asking me that. As far as I know, I've never even seen a HORUS frame outside of holos, and I certainly don't have any licenses for one. And yes, I have checked what licenses I'm recorded as owning just to make sure. I've checked three times, because people would not stop going on about it until I'd done it in front of them.

Now that that's cleared up, I pilot a custom quadrupedal Everest that's been refitted to have a small two-person apartment in it. That all went off fine, but ever since I decided to integrate a new laser directly into the chassis, the toilet's started flushing itself at seemingly random intervals, and about half the time when I fire it the kettle turns on.

Regards, Brimstone

P.S.: Speaking of laser systems, my lancemate's NHP designed one for her, and she figured she could do the install herself, but she's really been struggling with it recently and doesn't want to admit to needing her help for it. Any advice on connecting a customised GMS supercell blaze generator to a standard HA torch emitter?

With regards to the first question: it seems like you've linked them directly to the same power source. When your laser vents heat or fires, it's overloading the other systems on the same circuit, and causing them to activate. You can solve this by giving the laser a direct reactor connection, rather than attaching it to the expansion port.

With regards to the second: She'll probably need to install a voltage converter, since the two components aren't made by the same manufacturer. It should be fairly easy to acquire one from GMS. Additionally, they're constructed from different polycarbons, so she'll need to use an adhesive rather than attempting to fuse or magnaweld them.

Hmm. Y'know, considering that @harrison-armory-official are keeping in proper touch with their customer-base, I'm surprised that Smith-Shimano Corpro, IPS-Northstar, or General Massive Systems haven't thrown together their own accounts to do likewise.

Superior By Design, right down to Public Relations and Customer Communication, eh?

Welcome to the Omninet blog of General Massive Systems! Feel free to ask any questions, complaints, or concerns about our line of the two most modular mechs in the entire galaxy, the Everest and the Sagarmartha! No two GMS suits are the same, and just as a mountain changes with the ages, so too does our marketing! As such, you won’t find any “standardized” chassis here—individuality is the core of GMS.

GMS is happy to announce that, for today only, we will be redistributing Chomolungma liscences to any applicants already in possession of Everest frames. Additionally, our askbox is now open

What is a Monday? A miserable little pile of obligations.

semester turnover restructure

generate/send out error reporting

figure out how to separate out unique counts

create polite reply to Massive Dick Move email

finish the bad book >:(

bò kho (not an obligation. dinner)

laundry

lizard bath

#yapping tag #I spent my weekend trying to sleep and now all my chores are due today and I wanna complain. grump grump grump whine. #the semester turnover restructure actually is a pet project so that part I like! I wish I could take my time with it though #the error reporting is. well it's easy to generate (it's actually running now) and it's tedious but uncomplicated to send out #but then I'm going to spend the rest of the day getting passive-aggressive responses from everybody #in a just world my coworkers would respond to careful itemized lists of all their fuckups with 'thank you Alexis you're so helpful #we really appreciate you flagging our mistakes two weeks before the system final-saves them forever into stone. have a cookie!' #but alas #if I'd been any less stressed and frantic when I first established the error reporting I'd have set up a separate address to send them from #write up some template emails and let the reporting all come out of the mythical 'automatic system thing' #--every 'automatic system thing' in our college is me or IT on my behalf. even the people who hired me for this don't seem to realize #if only I'd known from the beginning that nobody would ever connect me and my systems! I'd be exploiting the shit out of it-- #the unique counts is going to be a headache. no idea how I'm going to structure the coding for it. might be fun to invent? we'll see #the Massive Dick Move email response also will be an invention. 'hello Mr Massive Dick I am karma here to smite you' but polite #the bad book >:( I don't want to read any more of but the deal I made with my friend is he sends me free books and I report back #we did not discuss a special 'get out of book free' card for when the main character is a godawful shit sibling. (should've done though) #beef stew is good! mostly it's on the list so I don't forget to set the timers #laundry and lizard bath can wait until tomorrow if they must but they shouldn't wait any longer than that. lizard and I will get stinky

Has anyone moved their collection (dolls, furniture, clothing, all of it) recently (or ever)? I’m moving in the not-so-distant future, and it’ll be my first time moving since I’ve really started collecting - the last time I moved, my childhood AG/doll stuff was still boxed up at my parents’ house and I only moved one doll (Diana) and her little suitcase of clothes and accessories. I have exponentially more stuff now 😅 I still have plenty of time to plan it all out, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I don’t even have that large of a collection compared to some people, but the thought of trying to pack and move it all is so overwhelming!

#future here meaning like. a year #but ive already been trying to downsize EVERYTHING i own including doll stuff bc ik the motto is generally ‘have less stuff-move less stuff’ #the ‘house’ and shelf system i have for the doll rooms are easy enough to disassemble and move but it’s all the stuff INSIDE that worries me #i can just see this easily turning into a 700 box project and i want to avoid moving massive amounts of stuff #i also feel like this is when things like shoes and small accessories are lost #especially with the doll furniture - say i remove the legs on addy’s bed to better pack it - then the legs get lost somewhere along the way #the actual dolls i think are a bit easier - i think wrap each in a t shirt or towel to protect hair and vinyl #and then all put into a few backpacks or maybe one of those big plastic tote boxes #my posts

Every time a post either mentions TES 6 or makes me think about TES 6 I'm that spongebob meme of the guy with the spear, stopping myself from blackpilling all over again....

#nevermind how long we've been waiting for it #i really fear that beth's fascination with like. “look at how much BIGGER our worlds are and how much HOURS OF CONTENT our game has!” #like looking back that the trend of “more content for the sake of it” was a thing even with skyrim and the radiant quest system #and the trend with ai becoming even more prevalent and advanced and bragged as a way to make so much MORE CONTENT! #i would not be surprised one bit if we got a new “advanced randiant quest” system or w/e and it's ai generated writing #i can't speak on starfield bc i didn't play it but looking at the state of bethesda and making stuff like tes castles or w/e it's called #the only thing i expect is wondering what new way they're going to strip even more rpg elements and commodify this franchise into something #that is bragged about not for its rich rpg world you can have adventures in but bragged about as an infinite content machine #and like i want to believe because bg3 was so successful that it would wake corpos up to the fact that people WANT actual rpgs but #with the eternity tes 6 has been in the works (allegedly) it might be too late #and like Infinite Content Machines have their place but i just think back to that one post that talked about the massive cultural impact #deficit with starfield vs the impact skyrim and fallout 4 (and hell even 76) had. tes 6 will sell well no matter what #but. yeah

not these AI obsessed futurists preaching how this is the time for actors and writers to start utilising AI more, how they can use AI to fight big studios and just digitally clone themselves using AI so they could appear in an infinite amount of episodes of a tv show or movies, churn out massive amounts of writing thanks to AI etc. - how this is the time for creatives to hand over the creative reigns to a machine that’s been taught on stolen art, writing and more.

how creativity, that makes us inherently human and separates us from other animal species on earth, should be given up to fight greedy studios and streaming platforms that already don’t give a shit about the people that make them rich

#y’all this is… #karel čapek fucking say up in his grave #are y’all this dense? #do you really think that people who create and are fulfilled by being creative will give up the reigns? #are you all fucking serious? #what in the actual fuck is happening to this earth? #not to mention that there’s a massive fucking racial bias in ai that is trained on systemically racist models #i can’t with some of y’all apologists of ai and how it fucking steals the hard labour of people #wga strike #sag aftra #writers strike #ai #ai tool #ai generated art is teft #ai needs to be stopped #anti ai

the american food stamps system is CRAZY to me it doesn't work like that at all here lmao. a government benefit but you're only allowed to use it to buy specific food in front of god and everybody at the grocery store too like whats the point?? idk just seems overly strict compared to how i grew up anyway

#here you just get a social security check which they are somewhat generous with except for rent and childcare #and then if you needed food specifically you'd just like idk. go to a food bank??? #but it depends on the specific situation and person/family i think #not a perfect system and massively underpays disabled people imo but its better than goddamn food stamps LMAO #u cant just give them money to buy food. just seems tacky idkk #txt

Howdy Doc, on anon bc I dunno if my Fireteam leader or my mech watch my blog

I recently got clearance to pilot my first frame, and got stuck with the one Everest in the hangar with a busted heat vent. She’s got a baby NHP in there for some reason, but neither of us have any idea how to patch up this thing.

Any tips for- A) Possibly using the vent’s damage as a weapon/resource; or B) fixin the damn thing on a budget?

Luckily the Everest is one of the most modular frames out there, so replacing the vents shouldn't be too difficult assuming you have access to the parts, but if you can't, try integrating a fuel rod cannon, which both cools the mech and serves as a weapon.

"Get in to modded minecraft" they say... "it'll be fun" they say... I just spent an hour adding an energy buffer to my RS system because I worry too much about it going down and now its literally never going to go down. I am not having a good time with it.

#this is actually fun for me but jesus christ #i fucking hate crossing mods #but there's no good way to make enough energy in create and I still need to build a whole thing to make infinite lava #before i can use any other mod for power generation #at least I ended up with what is essentially a massive battery from Powah to hold excess and keep the system up but god. #this kinda sucks a bit

huh always an interesting start to the day when a seemingly nice chill non discoursey fandom blog you followed goes full anti-intellectual out of nowhere and blankets your dash with reblogs of barely veiled rants about the Wealthy Elites (...) in academia enabling societal oppression

#big fucking yikes!! #theres a massive difference between critiquing the american educational system and college and... That #self #get lost my guy. and anyone else who thinks those are ok and normal opinions to have #like literally if someone starts a conversation about if/when its ok for students to use generative ai #and THAT'S where you take the conversation. uh. this conversation isnt about generative ai anymore #i hate to say it but. another L for tlt fandom.................

blows my mind that there are people who are straight up not experiencing any pain. like, they do sometimes. when something bad happens. but generally? like moment to moment? they’re painless. i have no idea what that is like

#rationally i know this type of person exists. because being in pain all the time isn't actually Normal #because pain is supposed to serve a purpose. most of the time. period pain and child birth just hurt for No Reason so theres that #but anyways #for those worried: bowel disorder for as long as i can remember #and a general unease... my health has improved massively the last few years #but that didn't magically make me one of the Digestive System Doesn't Hurt Me people #those people don't even know #hey fun fact: i didn't find out until i was 20 that going to the bathroom doesn't hurt everybody #even with my problems i had just assumed it was agony for all humans. wow #some people even ENJOY going to the bathroom. they can leisurely read during! #thats just ???? to me. for i am fighting for my life in there #anyways. pain #i have a headache right now. and a tummy ache. such is life
