I have to change sheamus's attires multiple times now because every update his attires gets corrupted with random logos from other attires why does this happen especially if the logos haven't been deleted by the creator or 2k?

Ive noticed alot of new faces here, and Ive seen alot of "what ______ do I need to buy" posts. Let me start by this is not a flame on yall, but rather a resource! I wanted to compile a decent get started/how to thread for all yall. What I want to do is go over as many parts as possible, their function, and effectiveness. This should probably be a video, but I feel like it would be more useful to yall in written form. :) If you have questions about specific parts, just scroll to what you need. This post will be very long, but hopefully helpful. No comments in this post are meant to bash any brands, so please do not get offended if you have a different mindset than me. Please keep in mind: This is a hobby that you will need to do research on, and struggle through trial and error. Everyone has a different aim in this hobby between looks and performance. They also have a different driving style. Google is your friend, as is the search function in this sub. If you cannot find what you are looking for please speak up, one of the established members of this sub can point you in the right direction. As you tinker, you will learn, and thus your skill and understanding will increase.
For background. Im a performance guy with these things. I do not care if its pretty; I want to climb a wall. I compete roughly 18 times a year. The summer series has about 40 competitors per comp on average and the winter series is about 25 per. Everything I will talk about is a culmination of all that I have learned between my own driving and tinkering, watching and filming other competitors, and knowledge from some top parts producers and awesome content creators that are in my local RCMCCA chapter.
Let me also say that I have no brand affiliation. I have my own RC brand, and I am working to a release, but that will be a different post. I also have various levels of acceptance of brands, owners, and their ethics, but that will not be discussed here... That is not to say that there are not tiers of quality in this hobby. Stock is stock, boutique level brands that sell on their websites are the top, and amazon brands fall somewhere in the middle with varying degrees of effectiveness.
Chassis: This is the basis of your build. It affects virtually every other part and its effectiveness. That being said, short of tires, it is the single most important part on your build. It is also the most ignored part of a rig. I cannot stress enough, upgrading every part on your truck but this will look cool, but it will take away from performance improvement that each one of those fly parts are supposed to provide. Upgrading this should be so high on your list that you did it yesterday. There are some great frame sets out there, and you will not find them on Amazon.
Skid plate: This connects your frame, mototrans unit, and links. Alot of aftermarket frame rails come with them, or those companies have it as an option. Whatever skid you buy, just buy a flat skid. The traditional ones that drop low does provide a lower center of gravity, but it isnt worth hanging up on every obstacle you touch. If you arent sure what to buy, the OGRC flat skid is there as an affordable option that you will never complain about.
Transmission: Translates your motor power into go power, but also holds your motor to the whole truck. The stock unit is fine till you blow out a plastic gear or strip a screw hole. When this happens, get a metal unit. Most all of them are all the same, but a few companies make unique ones like hardpark and LGRP. These units are both great and proprietary, but pricy. There is also one with a built in overdrive (overdrive makes the front tires spin faster than the rear tires, effectively pulling you over an obstacle and mitigating the rigs attempts at flopping backwards). You want the metal gears. For the spur gear, you have to decide what pitch to run. More on that in the next section.
Spur gear pitch: there are two pitches. Mod .3 and Mod .5. Mod .3 is the same as stock, but .5 has less teeth and they are larger. Pay attention to buying motors because they come with one or the other. Neither is better, just a preference.
Brushed Motor: This is a can of worms. For brushed motors, they are a dime a dozen as long as you exclude 2 companies (injora and Mofo RC). The stock size is 030. The correct size is 050. If you are looking outside of the aforementioned companies, you probably will not tell a difference between motors. Injora makes some very hard to kill motors, though they do not have the quality nor power of mofo (they ARE cheaper if cost matters). The two injora motors are the red and purple, and people who have an opinion between the two will die on that hill. If power and quality is what you are after though, buy Mofo motors. They use a proprietary magnet set as well as winding. There is nothing like them. They are plug and play on stock electronics, but in most instances you need to swap the motor mount plate because the holes on the motors are inversed from stock. Where ever you buy motors you can find a plate.
Brushed ESC (electronic speed controllers): This listens to the reciever for input (in stock form the reciever is part of the ESC) and doles out tasks to the servos and motors. V1 is black with an axial logo. It can act as a reciever when you go brushless if you dont want to spend the extra 50 dollars for a proper reciever and controller. V2 (blue) and V3 (spectrum) cannot do this. It is widely accepted as versions progressed, quality decreased. A great replacement option is the Injora MB100. You will have to provide a new receiver and transmitter, but its worth it.
Brushless ESC: If you go to a brushless motor, you will need a new speed controller. The new ESC will also require a new reciever and transmitter. It is almost the cost of a new stock rig to go brushless, so if you arent willing to make that jump do not consider it. Quality brushed setups are amazingly underrated anyway. Furitek is the big name, and they are fine. Better out there is Dinky, Mofo and others.
Brushless Motor: Once again, brushless motor conversions are about the cost of a new stock rig because of the additional ESC, motor mount, reciever, and transmitter required. If you arent ready for that cost, please see the above 3 sections as there are some highly underrated brushed setups. The best motors out there are provided by Furitek, LGRP, and Mofo RC. If you are questioning which one to buy, do yourself a favor and buy a mount from the same brand you select for the motor. I say this because there are differences in mounting screw size, patterns, and pitch between all these brands, as well as intra brand based on motor selection. The two benefits is low throttle modulation (slow crawl) and pure power.
Links: Links connect your axles to your skid plate. "high clearance" links are a cheap on amazon and ali express and good enough. If you see custom built links from a company that you are buying a frame from, those links will cost a firstborn... and they are worth every penny. They are typically hand bent allthread with plastic link ends, and covered by plastic or metal. If you are confused at the type of links I am talking about, go look up RC Steve. If you have a Dremel, I recommend buying M2 all thread, SCX 24 link ends, and cheap calipers online. Building links seems very daunting to anyone who hasnt done it. It is actually easy, just time consuming. Keep in mind you need to match your link length with your drive shafts, but drive shafts are cheap. To keep it simple, the best performing link geometry for the 133.5mm wheelbase is Deadbolt, but two very popular competition link geometries are C10 up front with Deadbolt rear links and Deadbolt front links with Gladiator rear links. This brings the wheelbase to about 145mm. Gladiator geometry is about 155mm.
Drive Shafts: Metal is nice. Plastic stock is better. Use the stock cheap drive shafts as your built in weak point. Everything else in the drive train is much pricer to fix.
Shocks: I apologize ahead of time, because this will be hard for alot of people to hear: longer shocks do not equate to better shocks. With the exception of my rear shocks on my Echo v2, all my socks are stock length because that length is excellent. You only need 2-2.5 tires of flex. More is great for your scale SEMA build, but they will often hinder performance. Oil filled shocks also fix alot of problems that the friction shocks cause, but stock shocks are amazingly good performers. The best shock on the market are the Proline Big Bore Scaler 39mm (and the 50mm in highly specific application) but they cost a kidney.
Axles: There is nothing wrong with your stock axles (as long as you modify them). The steering sucks and the half shafts inside are very weak. There are half shafts on amazon you can buy that look like a drive shaft ujoint where the hubs turn. Buy those, and cut around the axle housing cups at each end to increase turn radius. Yes cutting is scary, and if you dont pay attention you will ruin your housing. If you do it, you will be very happy you did. Stock steering is about 24 degrees, and with this mod you can almost double that. As far as aftermarket, there are 5 SCX 24 specific axles of note: LGRP Super 8, Meus Isokenetic, Mofo x15, Hardpark, and Injora +4. They each have major advantages and drawbacks but all are of similar quality with the exception of Injora. Meus and Mofo are g2g out of the box. Super 8 and Injora need better ujoint style half shafts and shaving, then they are good. You can find the improved half shafts on Exos website as well as Dlux Fab. I have no opinion of hardpark, though a guy in our group was integral in their final design. He likes them.
Overdrive: Stock the front axle drives the same speed as the rear axle. Tons of people make gears to speed up the front axle or slow down the rear, and they all seem to be similar in quality. there is a 15%, 24%, and 33% overdrive option, as well as a underdrive for the rear. Most people run 24%. It is a great goldilocks option. I run 33% in my high end class 3 that only sees crawling in comps.
Knuckles: Most of these knuckles are all the same, with exception of a few. Namely Hardpark LowBlows, Samix, and the three piece axial units. If you arent getting one of these three, just get the cheapest option that you like the looks of. There are a few brands out there that are "off brand" and heavier than most but quality is spotty. With the nicer brands I mentioned they all have options and option parts to increase and decrease weight.
Wheels: All personal preference when it comes to looks. The main performance difference is size and offset. Standard is 1.0, those bicycle tire looking ones are 1.8s and the in between that work for classes 2 and 3 in RCMCCA rules are 1.3. Most are an absolute pain in the ass to assemble, and the cheaper they are, the higher likelyhood of having 83 screws per wheel to install. Notably easy to assemble units are from LGRP and Prophet designs.
Tires: The best two tire brands out there are Jconcepts and RC4WD (not to be mistaken for RCAWD)... fight me. Both have superior compounds and great tread designs. Little Guy Racing Parts makes a good and affordable tire, but the hype is in the marketing. Injora makes good tire and many are great knock offs of other brands. With every brand, do your research on compound scales before buying. Keep in mind that the general consensus is moving to a +65mm tire, but often that larger tire lessens your ability to crawl for two reasons. It is from a company that doesnt have the best rubber compound and for every mm you increase tire size, you increase center of gravity by half that. The largest tire I run is only a 63 and the smallest tire is a 52.
Servo Tray: There are dozens of options out there, but excluding specialty parts like a battery on axle servo tray, there are 3 of note. Aluminum trays, brass trays, and adjustable trays. Brass servo mounts are good but I dont like how high the weight is. The best brands for a servo tray are NSDRC and Mofo. NSDRC trays are non adjustable but Mofo trays are. Injora also makes a clone of the mofo tray as does ramp crab. Both of these are on amazon.
Servos: the stock servo will fail (just like the stock motor) quickly. Aftermarket Servos can be broken up into 4 categories (plastic cheap, metal budget, metal quality, and NSDRC). Cross reference the voltage that your esc can run the servo at to ensure compatibility. If you are running a higher voltage than that servo is rated far, you will destroy it. Emax is the go to plastic brand. Set your endpoints on the servo arm throw and you will not burn them up quickly. Metal budget servos are a much better option than emax. Think RampCrab and Injora. They are a significant step up in power without breaking bank. Metal quality is represented by brands like Reefs, AGFRC and Mofo. They are virtually bulletproof and another significant power increase. NSDRC is in a class of its own because it is the most powerful and sturdy servo on the market.
Screws: The most complete set of replacement screws and small parts is offered by ramp crab in a neat little printed clamshell, but they are on the softer side. Use them only if you are using a quality hardened driver like, or do not overtighten them because they will strip. Injora makes good screws. The best are proline, but you will pay out your nose at a hobby shop for them.
Inserts: foams are fine and so are silicone, but the best are printed inserts. FlubRC makes one for any size you can imagine. Other companies make printed inserts like Prophet Designs. Printed TPU inserts such as these brands provide nice compression vertically and are extremely rigid lateral stability. This is what you want.
Steering links: All of these do the same stuff with exception of rollerbearing links. 3flow9rc was the pioneer here and still makes the best rollerbearing steering link on the market.
Rear link riser: adjustable risers allow you to customize the the antisquat properties of your rig while climbing. multiple companies make them on amazon as do the boutique parts producers. My favorite for cost vs value is ramp crab on amazon.
Tools: cheap amazon or ali express tools look cool but they are soft. Even most of the nicer brands in hobby stores that cost way more are soft. MIP tools cost about 15 dollars per driver but are built to an extreme exacting tolerance and are hardened to a point that they will not wear down. This ensures a tight fit when using them, so when you strip a screw you have no one to blame but yourself. Buy MIP or guarantee yourself you will ruin an occasional part due to stripped screw heads.
In conclusion, this is a hobby that will require your own research and ongoing money to some degree. If customization and tinkering is driving you crazy, research more. Do not be afraid to modify store bought parts, and dont be afraid to make your own as your skill improves. I hope this helps... K, thnx, bye, love you all!

While there's no harm in watching video tutorials (unless the videos you find suggest adding eleventy billion scripts, effects, or plugins before the video creator gets to the meaty bits of what they're trying to explain) and newer people might have a hard time finding detailed tutorials and guides, I figured I'd put this post together, that way this information is accessable for anyone who might be interested.
Most of these tutorials are written, rather than being in video format, but the people who wrote them went into a lot of detail and when they're talking about things that would benefit from including pictures, the majority of the authors do include those visual aids as well.
95 and 98: There are no tutorials or guides for them. Since neither one utilized a database or any kind of coding (the closest was the extremely rudimentary built-in "Monster Editor,") learning was mostly through trial-and-error.
2K (2000): Unfortunately, it's become pretty difficult to find tutorials for 2000. Even though it's in Japanese (which I know not everyone can speak or read) YADOT has a ton of tutorials for both 2K (2000) and 2k3 (2003) and if you can't read Japanese, Google's translator should be able to help~
2K3/2003 There are two pages, but that does include a three-part beginners' guide and information about how to balance a game, so despite there not being a shitload of tutorials there, many things are covered.
For XP There are only two pages, but quite a bit is covered there.
VXA (VX Ace) There are fourteen pages available here and they cover tons of material, from the basics and mapping, to eventing, scripting, creating puzzles and other helpful information.
The mapping tutorials that were written for Ace are very good, by the way-- and they can be used for any RPG Maker engine, for the most part. You might need to tweak some of the techniques for MV or MZ, but even if you do need to, there shouldn't be too many alterations to make.
MV Eighteen pages can be found here and they cover tons of information
MZ There are only five pages of tutorials here so far, but they might be a good starting point!
Other Tutorials For The Older Engines Some engines only have a few tutorials here (MV and MZ aren't covered on RMRK's forums, since they ended up becoming inactive quite a while back), but they also include general (not engine-specific) guides, such as ones that cover things like writing and logo-making.

I have a desktop Dell PC, dual-booting with Windows 10 and Fedora. My setup has 3 monitors.
Prior to upgrading to Fedora 40, all 3 monitors were working well with Fedora 39. After upgrading to Fedora 40, the 3rd monitor just shows a black screen. As the computer is booting, I can see the Dell logo on all 3 monitors and Windows still works with the 3 monitors. However, when I am in the login screen, and after login into Gnome, only 2 monitors work. However, if I log into Gnome on Xorg, the 3 monitors do work. So I suspect it is a Wayland thing.
What is strange is that the 3rd monitor does appear with inxi, but it is still black.
Here is some info on my system after running inxi -Fzxxx:

Here is a summary of the announced upcoming game updates for patch 7.0 (Dawntrail expansion) from today’s Live Letter (LL 81). The information below is complied mainly from the officially translated live stream of the event, as well as FFXIV Discord's translation channel coverage of the event. The stream can be watched in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh5piV-0MWQ.
There was a fair amount of gameplay footage shown of the new content (particularly of the new/updated job actions and two brand new jobs), but I only pulled a few points of relevant information from it, rather than summarizing it all. But, as usual, please let me know if I missed anything major!
Patch 7.0: Dawntrail
Officially releases on July 2, 2024
Early access period for pre-orders begins Friday, June 28, 2024; 48-hour pre-launch maintenance beings Wednesday, June 26th
Job Updates
Job Actions Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx2vW0TAJKQ
Note: Today’s presentation was not meant to be a detailed breakdown of ALL planned job changes and additions, just a basic overview of some of the noteworthy adjustments. Full gameplay will be previewed during the current media tour, with complete details on all of the job adjustments, potency changes, etc. to come with the patch notes for 7.0 after launch maintenance begins.
Action Change Settings - To address button bloat, certain actions will be replaced by their follow-up counterparts on the same button upon use, instead of the follow-up actions being on a separate button. However, for those who would prefer it the old way, this setting allows you to choose whether or not those changing actions will be replaced by their follow-up counterparts.
Adjustments to Tanks

• Rampart and job-specific 30% damage reduction abilities will be upgraded in the 90s level range

I was one of the first <100 people to buy the i13900k and the Asus ProArt z790 Creator. I say that because I have been patient with all parties since this are new gen devices... but it's been a grueling ride thus far.
Anyway:
Asus ProArt z790 Creator
i13900k
2x Samsung 990 Pro nvme SSDs (in top slot (2_1 I believe?) and have moved other SSD around slots 2 3 and 4 with no luck)
GPU blocks 1 of the nvme ports so it's annoying to move these around.
Enabled RAID0 configs in bios (obviously upgraded bios to latest version). Do not have Legacy boot enabled. Have Windows UEFI enabled. VMD enabled for both pcie and SATA, tried disabling one another as well. Tried everything I could think of in BIOS.
Downloaded the VMD IRST driver from Asus website, specifically for this board.
I boot from either a Windows 10 or 11 USB installer. I finally make it to the pre-install phase. No storage listed. I think load the driver. Success! I see the RAID.
I format, it partitions, the pre-install gets all the way to the finish line and then fails with the error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation windows". I went into the command prompt and searched for logs but they really didn't have much in them that I could find.
I thought to myself, ok this now is a Windows or Intel Driver issue. I then tried to load Debian Linux installer. It found the RAID which was nice, said it was writing all 0s to erase it, but again, could not access it properly to write the install.
Thus... I am at a loss. I have seen other people successfully run RAID0 or RAID1 on this. And before the Reddit keyboard warriors derail this and ask why RAID, blah blah blah, it's because at 64 or 128 the RAID provides signif performance improvements when editing 4k video files, moving big files across my 10G LAN (10G NIC was why I got this mobo), etc.
Any help would be really great. Else, I'll wait another week for ASUS Tier 1 to ask me the same questions I've answered 4x already... over email. Troubleshooting over email, getting a different person each time, no phone or live sharescreens is just outrageous. So I've turned to the Reddit experts to help and also make fun of me I'm sure lol

I really want to be mature about this and not bash Asus, because it has been nothing but grueling, repetitive, disappointing, and overall just makes me sad being that I have been an ASUS customer for over a decade.
I was one of the first <75 people to buy this board. Last Support ticket was escalated to the office of the CIO last year. Wild ride with them. Nonetheless, I've had to solve these problems by myself and/or with Reddit peeps.

Does anyone know where creators like Delzinski get their logos for their created arenas? Thinking of his Raw and SD arenas for 2k17 and 2k19

i'm a complete noob to bootloader unlock and i'm trying to install a custom rom on my Moto C Namath because the phone is a dinosaur and nothing works properly. so i learned that to unlock the bootloader i need an unlock code. which i should get from the get unlock data command but it returns this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem get_unlock_data ... FAILED (remote: unknown command) finished. total time: 0.006s 

i'm not really sure what i need to do for this to work so that i could get the unlock code from the Motorola website. It's not only this command but fastboo oem device-info also returns the same. however fastboot devices is detected:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices ZW3229B4M5 fastboot 

I've used actual android SDK program tools, I've used the kingo root tools as well and i get the same error.

Hello, I am new to this community.
Currently, I am creating my mod of Half-Life 2. And I am trying to change the font of the title.
I searched a little bit and found that I should change the font name of "ClientTitleFont" in "Steam/steamapps/sourcemods//resource/clientscheme.res".
However, even though I have changed them, the font does not seem to work, and still the title glitches. I tried multiple times removing my mod and re-copying it at "sourcemods", but still, the font does not seem to apply.
Would there be any other solutions to try to fix this?

Hello. Today I installed Ubuntu on my mid-2010 Mac to experience Linux a little more than just a few minutes in a VM. I flashed Ubuntu using Balena etcher on my Windows PC. Booted fine into the usb drive after 10-15 seconds of waiting. Then I saw the Ubuntu logo normally, with everything showing up right. When the desktop environment displayed with the Ubuntu installer, all my colors were and still are off, even after the installation process and a few reboots. Black displays as purple, white as green and every other color is faded. I tried searching for a driver using the embedded driver downloader in Ubuntu but nothing showed up. When using the Nvidia website, it downloaded me some ".run" file which opens like a text file. Has anyone found a fix for this ? I'm sorry if anything seems unclear, I'm new to Linux and I don't understand everything yet. Also, drop-down menus are buggy, they keep flashing or being ridiculously small.
EDIT : Putting the mac to sleep fixes the weird colors issue, however drop-down menus are still buggy

I see a lot of people on this group being frustrated with the YouTube algorithm and blaming it for their lack of success because “they have fully optimized their SEO”. Then there is another group of people spreading false information claiming to be SEO experts who can boost your channel using SEO. When it comes to YouTube – SEO isn’t what people think it is.
Today I wanted to share with you what I’ve learned about SEO and how it applies to your YouTube channel. Hopefully it helps give you clarity on what SEO is and how to use it to your advantage and grow your channel. I also hope it helps you to avoid being misled by people who throw around the term SEO as it relates to YouTube specifically.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization – it is the process of improving your WEBSITE, to increase its visibility when people search for your products, services, and the information/topics which you have expertise/experience with. In other words, SEO is all about driving organic traffic from search engines to your WEBSITE.
At a basic level optimizing a WEBSITE using SEO is broken into 3 main categories: -

• Technical SEO – Optimizing the technical aspects of a website. (E.g. URL structure, navigation, internal linking.) Making it easy for search engines to discover and access all content on your pages.
• On-site SEO – Optimizing the content on a WEBSITE for users and search engines. (E.g. Relevant topics, appropriate keywords, up-to-date accurate information, well written and presented content.) Ensuring your content provides value for the audience and is relevant.
• Off-site SEO – Creating Brand Assets (E.g. Catch phrases, values, vision, slogans, colors, logos) Making it easy for you, your products, services, and content standout in a crowded marketplace.

Reading the comments and posts, it looks as though people seem to think optimizing their SEO on YouTube simply means, tagging their videos with keywords and putting as many #keywords in their description as possible. This is not the case, the process of optimizing for SEO changes dramatically because YouTube IS a Search Engine. This is why you see a lot of people saying SEO is dead or SEO doesn’t work for YouTube videos. While this may be true in some instances. It doesn’t mean content creators cannot use aspects of SEO, to optimize their videos for YouTube.
How to use SEO when creating content for YouTube:
1. Keyword Research – Your video title should match as closely as possible to the top searched keyword/phrase for your niche. Keyword research allows you to know what content people are looking for. IMO this is the first and most important step when optimizing your videos. Good research saves you valuable time and energy, by preventing you from making videos that no one wants to see. A common mistake people make is they think the video they want to make, is the video people want to watch. The goal is to be easily found; people will not find your videos if the keywords in your video title do not match the keywords they are searching for. It’s that simple.
2. Optimizing Video Descriptions

• Your video description needs to briefly describe what the video is about in the first two lines. (A viewer should be able to see the full description without having to click “more…”)
• Your video description should include any call to actions or links you want a person to do after the first two lines. (When/If a viewer decides to click “more…”)
• Your video description should have a brief statement about who you are, what value you provide to the market place and how people can get in contact with you.
• Include video chapters when possible.

3. Optimizing Channel Customization (Branding)

• Be sure to have a picture or a logo in the place of your picture if you don’t want to show your face.
• Have a well-designed and attractive Banner Image
• Add a video watermark – this can be your logo or a subscribe element.

4. Optimizing Content – When making content make sure it provides value to the viewer and delivers on the promise of the thumbnail & title. It doesn’t have to be an extremely high/big budget production value, but it needs to be well written/designed and presented. Additionally, it should contain information relevant to the topic, and the language/words used should include the relevant keywords from the research stage.
5. Create Brand Assets

• Identify the value you provide and the vision you have for your channel/brand.
• Design a logo, colors, and fonts you want associated with your channel/brand to use in your videos.
• Develop slogans, and catch phrases you want to be known for and use them in your videos.

Always remember by definition SEO is not a process specific to YouTube. However, because YouTube is a Search Engine; content creators on YouTube can use SOME of the SEO techniques to “optimize” their videos, gain greater visibility, help others, and go viral.
