Firefall is an upcoming Free to Play / Free to Download Third or First person MMO developed by Red 5 Studios. Firefall is currently in a closed beta(invitation only) but for this upcoming weekend, January 25, it is opening up to everyone. Firefall takes place in future Brazil. The world has gone throughout many disasters. On the year 2233.36, the world was revenged by a massive asteroid bombardment, which came to be known as the Firefall. Humanity struggled to survive throughout the disaster, which killed a good portion of the human population, but they held on, becoming even more prosperous then they previously were. This eventually lead to the creation of the Arclight on the year 2233.66, the worlds first attempt at faster than light travel. Sadly, it's debut launch was a failure, which was a major part in what happened next. The melding, a lunar anomaly, brought on mainly, by the worlds new dependence on Crystite, an element that fell to earth on the day of the firefall. ​
​
The melding, has since, taken over the majority of the world. A living black fog, turning humans and whatever else it devours into its minions named the Chosen. Only a small fraction of humans still survive, on the few parts of the world that are not covered by the meld. From here they strive to survive.​
​
(I know this is an ass backwards version of the lore, and I left out a lot of important topics but bare with me) ​
​
This game, being that it is still missing a lot of its more important content (it's more of an alpha at this point) it's still incredibly fun. The game, complete with jet boots, resource gathering, gliders(which are so cool) crafting, capturing and defending points/watchtowers/and cities from the chosen, and a decently difficult mini-boss that the players can spawn any time they want, is amazingly fun. I've had more fun in this game then I've had in any other MMO I've played.​
​
Besides, being a beta, there are plenty of interesting things you can get to by abusing glitches in the map constraints. Like me and my friends getting to the crashed Arclight in the middle of the ocean ​

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    Latest Recipe is Garlic Parmesan Chicken https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-garlic-parmesan-chicken.193575/

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
