OMFG maps

So... Got to the "hub".... Tried some paths, found one that seems doable, but it branches over and over and over and over and over.... At one point I found cool giants that I can poke their feet and then climb and stab them like Merry and Pippin from LOTR on a cave troll... I have no clue where I'm going. It's like a labyrinth... Are there maps available on the interwebs anywhere???

Just started

I'm a big soulslike fan, and I've gone back and forth over getting this for awhile. Finally took the plunge and just finished the first area. Holy crap, this game is jank AF and obtuse as hell, but great at the same time. It reminds me a little of Immortal Unchained in some ways, but it's better. The vibes are fantastically strange and eerie, almost like Shadow of the Colossus meets Prometheus meets Dark Souls 1 or 2? I dunno, it's unique... Can't wait to see where it goes.

Gateway replacement needed

My Xfinity gateway just stopped working. No lights will come on, tried unplugging, etc. Replaced with old modem I had lying around and I'm back online, but need replacement gateway to get full speed back.

Rubber exhaust hanger?

I installed a Borla exhaust on my TC2 today, and I managed to put a small tear in the driver side lower hole of the rubber exhaust hanger (the one nearest the tip). The Borla exhaust fits well as far as the tip position in the bumper cutout goes, but it does put extra tension on that hanger that the factory muffler did not. Any thoughts on if I should go to the trouble to replace it, or will it be fine? Thanks!

Rog Ally Z1 no charge light, not power on

Hello! I'm hoping someone has a fix for this that doesn't involve sending in to ASUS because my Ally is over 2 years old. I turned it on today and while it was booting I stepped away for a few minutes. Came back and it was off/dead. Plugging it into power there are no LEDs lit. It will not power on when connected to the factory charger. I have attempted the following:

Volume down+power button, does nothing

Holding down power button for 60 seconds does nothing

Leaving it on charged despite no lights for over an hour does nothing

Opened up and disconnected/reconnected the battery from the mobo

If it was doing an update or something and lost power (I do not know what state of charge it had when I turned it on), is there a way to reset the BIOS? Any ideas/tips? Thanks.

TRD air filter for TC2 is a PITA

I finally took the leap after 13 years of ownership and got the TRD intake for my 2014. Pretty simple install, came with great directions.... But getting the @#$&! TRD filter element seated in the air box properly so it would shut took waaaay too much effort. It was the hardest part... Total PITA.... Or am I missing something?

Megan Racing vs. Borla axle-back exhaust for TC2

I have a 2014 and I put off getting the TRD exhaust until it's no longer available. So.... Now that I'm ready I'm considering the axle-backs from Megan Racing and Borla. They seem pretty similar, except about $200 price diff... I'm leaning toward Megan. What's the opinions out there?

Correct Toyota part number for TC2 TRD exhaust?

Anybody know? When I look online at Toyota part catalogs, it seems to indicate various numbers:

PTR0321130, relatively affordable at about $640 and available, indicates it only works with 2015 model?

PTR03-21100, discontinued, appears to fit entire TC2 range?

PTR03-21160, appears to fit only 2016 and has dual outlets... assume this is the RS10 version? More expensive at about $800.

Shower control knob sticks out further after cartridge replacement

I had a plumber come out today and replace my Moen 1222 shower faucet cartridge because the head was dripping. The faucet assembly inside the shower stall wall void was just loose flopping around in there after he disassembled the escutcheon and everything. My piping is pex which permits the movement and he said that kind of thing wasn't uncommon with "builder" houses.

After he was done, everything seems to work great, no drips... But now the handle/knob protrudes out further than it used to by nearly an inch. He said it's not a concern... Is he correct? Thanks.

Aside from that odd bit where a flight stick came up out of the floor for "direct control", it's always been a bit of a puzzle to me how starships are "steered" in ST. Especially from TNG and newer series where it looks like they're basically pushing buttons on a touch screen.

I get that when they're going a long distance in a straight line they probably just pop in an azimuth/heading and that's it, but I'm speaking more about tight maneuvers, that kind of thing. When in battle, it sometimes looks like Data (or whoever has the helm) is frantically pressing buttons! I also assume when they say to execute maneuver so-and-so, it must be a pre-programmed path in the computer, right?

I mean, do that many people not "get" what Trek is all about? Has always been about? I mean, I guess I understand if all you've seen is Wrath of Khan or a couple of the other films, but if you've watched any TV, I mean.... Come on.
