  • I’ve owned a bunch of Foscam cameras, a sub-brand owned by Amcrest.

    Amcrest and its Foscam sub-brand seem very interested in getting access to your cameras, have less capable and less convenient software, and the cameras themselves seem less well built than Reolink.

    I bought a half a dozen V1 Wyze cams, and at least two of them have failed. I won’t touch that brand again. I also would never have used Wyze at all except for the exploit that allowed custom firmware installation for real local access and control.



  • Don’t have much to say aside from “she’s excellent.”

    I’m rarely one to say something in this game is “the best” but her Talons are the single strongest melee in the game.

    On my account, Garuda also seems to have an odd, undocumented passive: She shows up as a circuit choice about 4 times as often as other frames. Which is great because the huge maps with great line of sight means her Seeking Talons can wipe huge chunks of the map with a leap in the air.


  • Thought I’d revisit this.

    Sadly, no Suda Assault Teams. Instead, Gruzlings.

    Lost Floppy Disks: Whatever the Hek it is Tagfer is hoping for in Albrecht’s lab.

    Serial to VGA Connectors: Echo Voca.

    Albrecht’s Pen: Endo.

    CD-ROM Reader: Invocations and Canticles, particularly that one you don’t have yet.

    Screen of Void: So, so many weird bugs. Today in the Alchemy Archimedia, I hosted and *I could not see ANY of the elemental pickups. If I happened to stand on one, I got the Pick Up action option, but I never saw them. Then there was a host migration at extraction, plus crazy frame rate drops for the whole squad.

    Sadly, no CyberTool Cable Whip Skin.

    We must wait until 1999 to discover why there is cat hair.






  • Doing two things or more at once is great, as Halasham says.

    But most importantly, if the grind isn’t fun, don’t do it. If it’s not fun the way you’re doing it, find another way to do it. Back before they moved Harrow Systems, I spent roughly thirty hours getting it to drop in Caracol defection. It wasn’t super fun, but I made it more fun by experimenting with every frame I had to see if that frame could do the job effectively.

    So to answer your question: anything that’s fun is worth doing. Because every piece of gear is worth having, and if it’s fun to get, then why not?
