Looking for advice on my first upcoming project

So l'm planning my first project to repair and maybe even upgrade a speaker that im buying used.

It's a marshall kilburn 1 with reportedly a bad battery.

it takes "4X 3.7V LI-IO BATTERIES, 2200MAH"(from the user manual), which seem to be wired in a straight series. I was hoping to make my own battery out of lithium ion cells with a large capacity.

Its literally my first ever doing anything like thiS, though, and I dont currently own any type of welding or soldering equipment right now, though.

I was hoping you guys could offer recommendations and any wisdom you think would be useful to a beginner dumbdumb.

Looking for recommendations

Budget: 50-80$

Im looking for a portable speaker that can be wired or wireless(specifically Bluetooth) and knob based volume control.

I dont really care about audio quality that much, im just trying to replace the shitty communal speaker me and my coworkers use.

[Serious] Do we consider Uro to be a special grade?

As we all know, special grades are sorcers with powers and abilities to singlehandedly upset the balance of Jujutsu society or take over an entire country by themselves.

Imo, I see no reason why Uro doesn't satisfy these conditions.

On of already being a skilled assassin, Uro's technique is just far too versatile and effective.

Her defense is almost completely faultless by normal means of attack bullets, bombs, missiles, drones, punches, and kicks, all of it is completely useless against Uro. Ontop that Uro can make herself completely undetectable whenever she wants for as long as she can keep up her CT.

Her insane defensive capabilities pair extremely well with her insane offensive capabilities.

Uro has demonstrated that it's not just her immediate vicinity that she affects but also the whole environment. She can just pop into reality and wreak havoc by distorting and destroying the environment around her. The whole battlefield can be turned upside at a moments notice, and by that time, it's already too late.

And then on top of all of that, she has her own domain(tho we dont know what it does....)

I think Spacegirl should be special grade but idk, what do you guys think?(also I dont know if she already is considered special grade in canon or not so dont flame me if she is😭)

Whats the best Gadget in raiders in yalls opinion?

Imo, it's splatelites, and it's not even remotely close.

It's the ultimate support option in literally every scenario.

You playing a slow weapon that can paint well? Pick splatelites, they paint incredibly well with very little investment.

Struggling with lessers and need more dps? Pick splatelites, they shred lessers and ignore boss armor.

You need more mobility since you took 2 dps gadgets? Pick splatelites, you'll never be without ink to move in.

These things just provide so much universally-applicable value that they are the main reason I think power is the strongest tank and why tactic rivals that spot once you fully upgrade it and gain access to splatelites!

Tbh they shouldn't even be in power imo, i think they should go to tactical instead, its just too strong to pair with all of power's other gadgets!

Is it glaze to say that the mechanic is the strongest player character so far in lore and gameplay?

Might be recency bias but is ripping through an entire army of salmonids with nothing but the gadgets and deep cut not the most impressive thing we've seen so far?

Mind you every weapon they used is literally made in a cave with a box of actual scraps.😭

What is the best way to make custom transparent shells, buttons, and trigger? Colored or otherwise

I've been wanting to customize an 8bitdo controller i got, but no one sells customized parts for any of their controllers. So I've decided to try and make my own.

I want to do something close to the pictured controller, but idk how one would go about something like this.

So, if there are any guides, resources, or tips, please share with me

Salmon run really shows how delicate balancing is.

Salmon run is a perfect example of how delicate general balancing for the player and their experience can be. Depending on the map, events, specials and weapon rotation, the Salmon run experience can vary from relative calm and uneventful to a genuine slog that feels downright impossible to get through if you don't outright wipe to a unfortunate event!

Honestly, it makes me wish we got more exclusive weapons changes for the mode. Cause while all weapons aren't created equal, I find myself wondering what SR would look like if more weapons were tuned to better fit the mode specifically.

Some thoughts on the argument between Ralsei and Flowery

I'M NOT DONE WITH THE CHAPTER, PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL THE ENDING

I've been loving the dialog between these 2 a lot. The big thing for me was the conversation on the staircase and the arguments posed by both sides.

The question posed by flowery and ralsei is:

DO lightners and darkners have an inherent purpose, and are we beholden to that purpose even if it goes against the wishes, dreams, or even lives of the entity in question? Even if it goes against the "greater good."

This is especially most interesting in chapter 5 because kris and susie can't take the flowers to castletown like every other chapter. Once the fun gang seals the fountain in the flower shop, it's over. So, the question is further expanded on by asking who would get to make these types of decisions?

And it's interesting seeing Susie address the fact that Flowery is lowkey right. In the same way, castletown is home to the fun gang, and the flower shop is home to the flowers! They can't just let their darkworld be sealed! For all intents and purposes that would kill the flowers in the most literal sense. Because as flowery states, this is the first time the flowers and everyone in their darkworld have been alive in every way that matters!

Circling back to Ralsei, he takes the other side of the coin! Ralsei is essentially arguing that everyone has an inherent purpose, and regardless of how you feel about it, you are beholden to that purpose and must carry it out. This very intriguing because while yes, we have alot of examples of darkners embracing whatever their purpose is, we also have alot of examples of the exact opposite and the individual in question finding happiness in that.

This brings me to Kris and the player. The dynamic between us and Kris is the personification of the argument Ralsei and flowery had. We know for a fact that Kris is meant to be a vessel for player, that is their purpose. But Kris rejects this. They fight the player as best they can at every turn they can get away with. This makes sense because despite being a vessel for the player, before the start of the game, Kris had a life before the player came along. They had things they like to do, interpersonal relationships, and thoughts of their own. But the player comes along and basically hijacks Kris's life and Kris understandably does not want that.

By Ralsei's logic, Kris should just roll over and accept the situation. This is their purpose and they need to see it through. However the game just doesn't seem to agree. The control that the player has over Kris is painted as morally dubious at best on the normal route and straight-up wrong on the weird route! Nevertheless all of that is irrelevant to Ralsei and The Player.

This chapter has done a very good job at posing these ideologies and questions to the player in a understandable way.

Thats it, I just wanted to get my thoughts out there. Like I said im not done with the chapter yet(currently stuck on pink lol) so please keep ending spoilers to a minimum! :)

So....are we getting 24 episodes?just 12? 13?

I'm not entirely sure cause episode 12 doesn't really feel like a season finale but 24 and 13 episode seasons are basically a thing of the past now.(for some reason)

​

So do we have a confirmed episode count?

Can Rika actually talk to the dead in the afterlife?

I've been thinking about Rika's abilities, status as a shikigami, and her lines in Modulo a lot recently, specifically the "I'm gonna tell Yuta in heaven! >:(" line. The main subject of all these thoughts has mainly been whether or not she was deadass when she said that line and if she really can contact people in the afterlife, even if it's only yuta.

​

The main idea in support of her actually being able to do this has been the implication that current Rika is more than a regular shikigami. Rika is special because she has the very rare ability to think, speak, manifest, and act on her own accord. This makes me genuinely curious about how different Rika really is from a normal shikigami and if that would afford her any special abilities.

​

We know from Modulo that the pathway of souls is a place that can be traversed or even lived in. So i wonder if Rika, being a piece of Rika Orimoto the person, gives her the ability to talk or commune with Yuta or people in general in the afterlife temporarily or in a limited. I say in a limited capacity because we know for a fact that Current Rika is bound to the ring and Cannot "pass on" permanently, so she would only be able to visit the afterlife before having to return to the real world in the ring.

​

Also, technically, since yuta isn't around, Rika didn't have to help tsurugi. Rika is not bound by any condition that forces her to listen to anyone, not even Yuta himself. But she does, Specifically because "Yuta asked her personally." .

​

Now im not stupid. There is a very high likelihood that these lines were a joke and weren't meant to be taken seriously or literally. BUT COME ON!

​

How hype and in-character would it be for Yuta to keep an eye on his grandkids(and likely his son when he had rika) in the afterlife THROUGH RIKA!? that would be so cool. Also, Modulo, as a series, focuses a lot on the afterlife and the soul. So i dont think it's a reach for Gege to have intentionally left room in the story for this type of interpretation.

​

Tbh, idk if any of this makes any sense or not, but i wanted to get my thoughts down in righting

Can Whitebeard tame Ragnir with a fully charged Shattering void?

Was thinking about if any of oldgen could tame ragnir, and I realized that Newgate is kind perfect for the job.

We know that WB's gura attacks can be infused with haki and, by extension, ACOC, so that checks the Haki requirements.

All it took from loki was a basic hammer swing with enough force to get Ragnir to chill, and a full power Shattering void should be able to output a at least relative amount of force(if not equal or stronger amount imo).

To me, Whitebeard has everything he needs to do this, but idk what do yall think?

Edit: You guys, I know Ragnir probably wouldn't choose whitebeard as its wielder😭 thats not the important part
