Lyander

Hi Lyander, it’s been a while. Hope you are doing well. Let us know how it goes.

I use micro mesh from Goulet Pens or 12000 grit.

Hi @EagleWings! Doing fairly well I'd say, just that things are still progressing at a snail's pace and I seem to be stuck with a mild cough that's not going away. Ugh.

@Cryptowolf I forgot Goulet sold micromesh! It's honestly been forever since I worked on my own nibs and I've never actually tried buying directly from some of the bigger western retailers. Thanks for the poke haha.

There are a few standout plot holes and clunky bits over the runtime but it's not the kind of film you'll necessarily be dissecting for a class.

@nishan99 I’m with you. I already micro manage dozens of things to get to the good bits, my life. I loved XCOM I and II, but the reboots are too much.

I actively avoid rougelikes because I get attached to characters and feel genuinely sad when they die, haha. that said I like the look of the new Darkest Dungeons with the cel shaded models, though the carriage travel is a bit... eh.

Frankly inventory is the biggest pain in the butt. Fights and exploration are pretty simple and oodles of fun.

Well the main char can't die but yeah the rest of the squad can... honestly this mod is pretty brutal and sometimes i reload if i lose a pilot or a mech needs to be rebuilt which is expensive.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery.

get well quick, bud!!! best wishes!!!

Hope you recover fully and have no lingering effects from your bout.

Oh wow, yeah that's a fair bit more expensive ($70 is ~₱3,496 while ¥9,000 is ~₱3,953). Guess that's just a thing with cost of living being what it is in people's respective regions. It's a bit cheaper than US pricing where I live (₱3,490), but that's still a massive chunk of change. Def waiting on a sale, but I have a friend who bought it as soon as it released since she loves FF7.

I wish I have more time to play. Hehe...

Not a clue what the console is but hah, nice! Been hyped for a remake since that engine teaser for the PS3 ages ago, just pinching pennies at this point I suppose (time to play is here and there, but more here lately thankfully-- Fallout: New Vegas is great fun!)

Yup, Jack Conte and his wife Nataly Dawn are Pomplamoose. See them on the Tube.

He created Patreon as a way for people to support them and other artists that people love, without the recording industry as a middleman.

This is about where I have that "The More You Know" sound running on loop in the back of my head, haha. Makes sense though, since Patreon seems like one of the less money-grubbing avenues to support creators.

Save the $ to put into audio :P

I hate the way torched sushi tastes. But enjoy your crisped up baked goods ;)

Get a good torch, and you'll be set to do silver/gold soldering on the side.

How dare you not like baked sushi, @gixxerwimp! But now that I think about it this is likely going to be somewhat more economical and less of a hassle than using a broiler. Eh, would def rather spend on audio gear or PC components.

Also, I don't think I'll be wanting a torch that goes quite that hot for fear of melting my walls, @Thad E Ginathom :P

Damn, spotify wont let me play it in California

Ahhh bother. It'll be available 12AM on the second of November wherever you are. Forgot about the region thing haha

For Monday, Tuesday, Wed?

More like one extra day for how much diets go to helck but sure that works.

@pure5152 the stupid hack did more damage than previously thought. Still finding random threads that have been vanished.

Thankfully there wasn't too much activity following that I think. Thanks @shotgunshane, you are a treasure. Sad since a lot of the fun discourse lost flow but what can be done. Argh.

The Wayback link to the IRN interactive frequency chart (post 5) is 404 (it's been dead for a while). @shotgunshane if you can edit the link, the chart is now here: https://alexiy.nl/eq_chart/

@Biodegraded thanks, I embedded it in post 5.

And here I thought sticking with digital would be less annoying in the long-term, if at least not nearly as expensive. Wonder if my grandpa's old me-sized CD spinner survived the last few floods...

Either way Presto Music is grand for orchestral works and BoomKat has a lot of interesting releases.

I have a different password with each store and never store my CC info

Likewise, plus the passwords are jotted down in a notebook so that's scarcely accessible. Also, I only ever use a prepaid debit card online if PayPal isn't an option because that's money that won't end me to lose. It's just bothersome with all these accounts. Price of convenience.

Cat fried rice time.

@YMO no but now I'm wondering if this could be used in lieu of a microwave for TV dinners lmao

The social sciences is stupid because it's so forsakenly hard to quantify things in a meaningful way. Facedesk

Facedesk? Nah, Facebook. they've probably got your metric.

Used to work with ad agencies and... honestly yeah they keep the good shiz for themselves-- the amount of data marketing has on people can be terrifying :))

Wyze is really easy to set up and the app makes it easy to get the settings you want.

@pavi not sure if you caught this but apparently Ubiquiti had a bit of a massive breach earlier this year. just caught wind of it now and hope things are battened down tight for you.

i saw that… i think my network is safe, but i’m all for a healthy paranoia where network security is concerned

Not worth another update but hilarious: Pablo Escobar's hippos are people: https://gizmodo.com/pablo-escobars-cocaine-hippos-are-legally-people-court-1847904417

"From the animals' perspective, I think it's clear that they would prefer to be sterilized rather than euthanized." Sure, but if they're legal persons presumably they can't be sterilized without their permission, so...

...maybe just /sanitize/ them?

I hope this stack keeps you happy for a while! Time to get lost in the music and not the gear!

Amazing value at its price. My non-plus versions have been solid performers for years.

Hah, I actually haven't been listening for fun lately but spent nearly a solid 4 hours just staying up and enjoying music. Waaaaay past my knees' bedtime.
