Ultimo aggiornamento: 19/07/2025

🧳 Gestione del Carico e dell’Inventario

• Ribilanciamento rapido del carico: Usa la freccia su del D-Pad per riequilibrare istantaneamente il carico e unire materiali identici in un singolo contenitore.
• Scarico e fissaggio del carico: Tieni premuto Triangolo o premi D-Pad su per scaricare tutto rapidamente. Puoi poi fissare il carico con il filo per aumentarne la stabilità.
• Riaggiustamento manuale dello zaino: Premi contemporaneamente L2 + R2 + Triangolo per riorganizzare velocemente lo zaino.
• Porta sempre CCP extra: I Contenitori di Costruzione Portatile (CCP) possono fare la differenza durante i viaggi più lunghi o imprevedibili. Non sottovalutarli.
• Spray riparatore sempre con te: Porta sempre 1-2 bombolette per rigenerare i contenitori danneggiati, soprattutto dopo la cronopioggia. Mira con L2, spruzza con R2.
• Evita il peso in zone ostili: Prima di entrare in aree nemiche, come campi M.U.L.E. o territori con CA, considera di lasciare temporaneamente lo zaino.
• Raccolta rapida di cristalli chirali: Dopo aver sconfitto una CA, tieni premuto il tasto di raccolta per assorbire più rapidamente i cristalli chirali.
• Contenitori a portata di mano: Puoi raccogliere contenitori dal Trike senza scendere.
• Munizioni sempre pronte: Entra nella tua stanza privata per ricaricare le munizioni automaticamente.
• Contenitore extra per munizioni: Il contenitore di riserva di livello 2 (zaino grande) è ottimo per trasportare più munizioni in missioni lunghe.

🛠️ Equipaggiamento e Veicoli

• Assorbitore di shock: Protegge dalle scariche elettriche dei nemici e può ricaricare la batteria. Usando un’asta elettrificata e mirando ai piedi, puoi auto-ricaricarti.
• Equipaggiamento rapido delle armi: Raccogli un’arma da terra con R2 e premi subito D-Pad destra per equipaggiarla senza metterla nello zaino.
• Scorciatoie per le armi preferite: Premi R3 su un’arma per impostarla come preferita. Puoi poi richiamarla con D-Pad destra + X.
• Spray su contenitori: Dopo una cronopioggia, ripara l’equipaggiamento con lo spray apposito.
• Trike multiuso: Con l’impennata puoi superare ostacoli e salire anche scale. Puoi sparare, raccogliere oggetti e muoverti agilmente senza scendere.
• Ruote da fuoristrada: Equipaggia le Offroad Wheels per una migliore stabilità e controllo nei terreni accidentati.
• Parcheggio intelligente: Metti zaino o veicolo sotto una tettoia anti-cronopioggia per proteggerli da danni ambientali o da combattimento.

🧗 Movimento e Navigazione

• Controllo dell’equilibrio: Premi L2 + R2 per mantenere l’equilibrio in situazioni instabili, come salite ripide o carichi sbilanciati.
• Evita cadute e attacca in scivolata: Premi R1 mentre corri per eseguire una scivolata utile sia per la discesa che per atterrare nemici.
• Movimenti avanzati:
    L2 + R2 + X + direzione → evasione rapida.
    L2 + R2 → avanti + X → saltello per terreni sconnessi.
• Controlla la profondità dell’acqua: Premi L1 e tocca rapidamente per far analizzare all’Odradek la profondità prima di attraversare un fiume.
• Scale combinate: Collega più scale tra loro per superare ostacoli larghi come canyon o fiumi impetuosi.
• Usa le rampe strategicamente: Le rampe permettono di scendere da dirupi senza danni, ma puoi anche prenderle di slancio per saltare crepacci.
• Teleferiche in quota: Posizionale sulle vette per ottenere la massima portata e minimizzare i punti intermedi.

📡 Ricognizione e Tecnologia

• Dollman multifunzione: Utilizzalo per ricognizione aerea e per stordire i nemici con attacchi mirati.
• Torri a distanza: Puoi connetterti a una torre entro 200 metri e usarla per scannerizzare l’area circostante.

⚔️ Combattimento e Difesa

• VR Training: Nella simulazione VR puoi allenarti e livellare le abilità di combattimento in sicurezza.
• Attacco con generatore: Se un nemico si avvicina a un generatore, premi Quadrato per colpirlo con una scarica elettrica.
• Fucili specializzati:
    Il fucile a pompa è eccellente a corto raggio.
    Il cecchino (sniper) è devastante: headshot = KO istantaneo (es. contro un   Lone Commander).
• Codifica colore armi:
    Arancione = morte.
    Blu = K.O.
    K.O. = buono, morte = da evitare.
• Sticky Cannon livello 2 (Zona F2 Australia Sud): ottimo per raccogliere loot (esclusi i cristalli chirali).
• Cattura animali: Usa armi non letali per stordire creature e poi catturarle.

🌱 Interazioni Ambientali e Bonus

• Pipì strategica:
    Urina sui criptobioti per attirarli.
    Urina su un fungo generato da te o da altri giocatori per farlo crescere:   diventerà un generatore di criptobioti.
• Cartelli funzionali: Offrono benefici come recupero stamina, immunità al caldo o al freddo, a seconda del simbolo scelto.
• Sedersi per salvare: In molti luoghi, sedersi permette un salvataggio rapido e può anche rigenerare stamina.
• Selezione multipla rapida: Tieni premuto Quadrato + D-Pad giù per gestire opzioni multiple nell’inventario.

Hey guys, happy new year everyone! I hope you're doing well.

In 2021 I read 20 books 🥳, here are my favourite 5:

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

📗Italian Version
📘English Version

This is a book I wished I'd read ten years ago. Manson draws inspiration from some philosophical traditions such as Stoicism and Existentialism.

📝Three Main Concepts

• Your values define your problems, your problems define your lives. So, choose your values carefully.
• Take responsibility for everything that happens in your life. You may not be to blame, but you are responsible for how you react to what happens to you.
• Don't be scared of failure. Failure is an opportunity to learn.

Indistractable by Nir Eyal

📗Italian Version
📘English Version

This is a great read if you feel the attraction to your social media feed has turned into something uncontrollable.

📝Three Main Concepts

• Interruptions lead to mistakes, learn to defend your focus by signalling when you don't want to be interrupted.
• By removing devices from your bedroom or by having the internet automatically turn off at a specific time you'll be able to take back a decent amount of quality time with your loved ones.
• Learning to manage notifications on your phone by using "Do Not Disturb" is an invaluable skill to address all your potential distractions caused by those triggers.

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

📗Italian Version
📘English Version

This book is full of ideas and counter-intuitive thinking. A must-read to shape your mind and elevate your thinking.

📝Three Main Concepts

• Understand the difference between fragility, durability, and antifragility.
  Damocles is an example of fragility, if the hair breaks he dies.
  The phoenix is an example of durability, no matter what happens to it, it'll always go back to the initial state.
  The Hydra is an example of antifragility, it gets stronger by being hurt.
• People mistake a lack of evidence for evidence. Smoking was a perfect example of this, since we didn't have any evidence that suggests smoking was bad for health, we thought it was good for health.
• Redundancy is a form of antifragility. As humans, we have evolved to have two kidneys and two lungs, though we can survive with one of each.

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

📗Italian Version
📘English Version

I'd had loved to study personal finance as a subject when I went to school. This book met me just when I needed it. Each chapter revolves around a common theme but can be read independently.

📝Three Main Concepts

• Wealth is what you don't see, and it's difficult to learn from what you can't see.
• Being able to control your time is the highest dividend that money pays.
• Compounding works best when you're not interrupting it unnecessarily and when you're able to wait years or, even better, decades to grow.

Show Your Work by Austin Kleon

📗Italian Version
📘English Version

This book is the main reason why this website exists. It's an awesome short book (I read it in less than 2 hours) full of ideas to let your inspiration flow and, in particular, letting people know that. Here are three main concepts from the book.

📝Three Main Concepts

• In an era like the one we're living in, if your work isn't online it doesn't exist.
• By sharing your daily creative process you'll establish a connection with your audience.
• Doing things you like and talking about what you love will attract people who have the same interests as you do.

How to take smart notes might seem counter-intuitive, but once you learn the basics you will realize how a simple thing like this can radically change your life.

Taking smart notes is at the base of understanding every concept imaginable. By tanking smart notes you will be able to:

• Understand and remember every concept you read.
• Write a paper about a specific argument in no time.
• Teach a specific subject without any concern.

If there's only one thing you should remember after reading this post, make it the next sentence.

Research, studying, and learning is not followed by writing, it's the medium that makes writing possible.

The Slip-Box - The Most Important Technique

Invented by Niklas Luhmann, the slip-box technique (a.k.a. the Zettelkasten method) consists in writing notes on a little piece of paper, write a sequential number on the back of it, and keep all of the notes in the same place (the actual slip-box). By doing so Niklas Luhmann published 58 books in 30 years.

Whether you're a nostalgic human being who likes to write on paper or a modern one who likes to use the most advanced pieces of technology, it's the same. You can implement the slip-box method in your life and be a smart note taker.

How to Use The Slip-Box

Luhmann used to have two types of slip-boxes: a bibliographical one where he stored everything about what he read, and the main one where he wrote all his ideas and thought about what he read. Here are a few simple steps to start your own slip-boxes:

1. Create a brief note, use a piece of paper or a simple app (e.g., the Notes app on your phone) to write down any idea you have. You can skip directly to step three if you have time to create a permanent note.
2. Create a bibliographical note each time you read, be extremely selective with quotes and be concise.
3. Make your brief and bibliographical notes permanent in your main slip-box each day. Remember to write each note as if you're writing for someone else, this will force you to understand the topic. Feel free to combine notes or modify them if the new material will correct, supports, or contradict the information you already have.
4. Add your new note or idea in the permanent slip-box by giving it a sequential number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.) or, if it connects with an old one, using the same number and adding a letter after (e.g., 5a).
5. Create a separate index for all your notes, dividing them by category. This will make it easier to find the notes in the future.

The Toolbox - Everything You Should Have

This is all you need to start taking smart notes:

• Something to write with and something to write on your brief notes that you will delete as soon as they became part of your permanent slip-box. (e.g., Pencil and paper, pen and napkin, Evernote, Notes app on your phone, etc.)
• A reference system to archive your bibliographical notes when you read books, this will be your bibliographical slip-box. I use Readwise, you can use whatever you like.
• The main slip-box. I use a template I made in Notion, you can use a wooden box with pen and paper, Zettlr (a free app), Roam Research (a paid app), or the newest Obsidian.
• A textual editor. Choose the one you like, online, offline, free, or paid.

Good luck and let's begin taking smart notes.

Don't Forget to - Last Key Ingredient of Smart Notes

Each of the tools I recommended is as functional as your ability to work with them. Choose something you know really well or take time to learn a new one. Don't underestimate this.

Here is a list of 5 tips to help you actually read faster.

Reading is like a bike ride: sometimes you just want to enjoy the ride and slow down but sometimes you just need to get from point A to point B as fast as you can.

This mainly applies to non-fiction book, when you just need to get straight to the point of the book. And let's be honest, most of the non-fiction books could be a lot shorter: the principle of the book can be condensed in ten or twenty pages but, usually the book is full of examples and fluff.

Tip #1 - Subvocalization may be not so useful

Sometimes when we read, we're used to hear our voice in our head. This actually slows you down.

Try reading without the need to hear your voice in your head by listening to some music, chewing a gum or by following tip #3.

Tip #2 - Read in The Middle

When you're reading focus your attention in the middle of the page.

Usually, our focus is on the left side of the page but, this slows you down because your eyes need to move not only up and down between each line but also from left to right.

By focusing in the middle you will use your peripheral vision to read the start and the end of the line which, at the end, will make you faster.

Tip #3 - Use a Pointer

This could be a pen, your finger or anything that will force your eyes to move smoothly hence, read without subvocalization hence, read faster.

This works best with real books of course but it's useful with e-book readers too.

Tip #4 - Make it a Game

It will happen, you'll eventually get bored reading. So, what are you going to do? You'll make it a game: try to beat your fastest record, see how fast you can read without sacrificing comprehension.

Tip #5 - Make a Summary

This might require a blog post as its own but, trust me, it's essential.

By writing a short summary of the book after you've finish reading it you'll make sure to fully comprehend the topic or point of the book. And in case something is not clear, you can always go back to the book.

I suggest you to keep these summaries where they're easy to reach beacuse you never know when you might need them. (Use a cloud service or something like Notion)

BONUS TIP - Tip #6 - Bigger is Better

This is useful if you're reading on an e-book reader or on a computer screen.

Try to increase you font size to something like 14pt (10 and above on a Kindle reader). You'll read faster because your eyes will not need to move a lot to read each line.

It doesn't matter if you use an Android device or an iOS one, learn these rules and adapt them to your lifestyle so you'll be the master and not the slave.

Rule #1 - No Notifications

Turn off notifications for all apps except the important ones (messages, home banking, phone and Google Maps [otherwise it will not give you directions]).

Rule #2 - No Badges or Dots

Turn off all notification dots or badges, you don't need them and they just make you more anxious.

Rule #3 - No Ringtone

My phone is always in silent mode. By doing this I'm sure to not be distracted by a loud ringtone or embarassed by forgetting to turn off ringtones in a silence-oriented place.

Rule #4 - When you need to disconnect use Airplane Mode

Airplane mode is the easiest way to disconnect from the digital world and allows you for some real time by yourself.

Rule #5 - No Battery Percentage

Battery percentage is one less thing you should worry about, forget it.

Rule #6 - Turn on Do Not Disturb

Turn on Do Not Disturb after dinner until you wake up the morning after.

Rule #7 - Enable Auto-Lock after 5 minutes

There's no need to Auto-Lock your display after 30 seconds if you use your phone only when you need to. Just set it to the longest time possible in case you leave your phone somewhere and you forget to lock it.

Rule #8 - Limit your Addicting Apps

Limit your addicting apps (read Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc.) to 15 minutes a day (there is a function on your phone that does that, Google is your friend) or, even better, uninstall each addicting app daily.

Rule #9 - Keep your Important Apps on the First Page

Keep all your important apps in alphabetical order on the first page you land after you unlock your phone. No folders, no widgets, no social network, just important apps.

Rule #10 - When you Sleep, Keep your Phone Away

I'm a big fan of wireless charging devices so I bought a wireless charging platform and set it up on a desk located at the opposite corner of the room from the bed. After dinner, when I'm home, I just lay the phone on the platform and forget it until the next morning.

I impatiently wait for this newsletter everyday like it's Christmas. I love it! You should immediately subscribe to it, you'll not regret it.

2 - 5 Bullet Friday

I literally (literally) love Tim Ferriss since he wrote the "4 Hour Body". Getting this newsletter every friday keeps the love alive and kicking.

3 -  Gareth's Tips, Tools, and Shop Tales

I like D.I.Y. and this newsletter is constantly giving me new ideas to try.

4 - Tuesday Tools And Tips

Thomas Frank is as of today one of my biggest influences regarding the productivity world.

5 - Benedict's Newsletter

6 - 3-2-1 Thursday by James Clear

This simple layout of 3 ideas (from him), 2 quotes (from others), and one question (for you) is one of the coolest newsletter I'm subscribed to.

7 - My Newsletter

Last but not least (hopefully) there's my newsletter which will start in a few weeks with the first issue. I'm going to give you some insight on what I'm reading, listening, and doing.

Looking at your phone immediately after you wake up might cause you to get up on the wrong side of the bed even if you did't actually get up. So, here's a list of something to try before even looking at your phone screen:

• Have breakfast
• Stretch
• Go for a walk
• Go for a run
• Take a shower
• Read a book
• Meditate
