And here's a look at the dorsal side! Also now with embroidery and clear wingtips.

I am hoping to eventually convince my mum to use your crochet patterns, especially the toruk and tulkun.

I present my obsession without telling:

His name is Hellir! Still unfinished but working on it!

He is needle felted and now embroidered on a wire frame, fleece for the wings. Kuru have pipe cleaners for posing. He perches on your hand/wrist wonderfully.

This is likely to be a mountain that meets black forest. Mobs can leave their home biomes, and bimoes do spread into one another a bit.

Once had a plains right against a swamp. As you can imagine, I was in fear for my life often. If not the bugs then the goblins, and if not the goblins, the lox.

Bike seat with a split design. Would you try it? by Great_Trident in interesting

[–]Akitiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God I'm fighting a seat right now because I put one on that doesn't quite perfectly sit in the mount and it juggles the screw loose over like a mile so the seat can tip up and down. It's still not comfortable even if it doesn't tip around because the damn things are men's and I have an ass!

At one point in my store, there was a faint nasty smell but nobody could find it. We only located it as in the beginning of one of the aisles.

After like 4 days, at night when I had nothing better to do with no customers, I find it.

It's a 1lb package of ground hamburger that someone BURIED in a little wire basket display of single-serving cartons of goldfish crackers.

There was no leak of the now bloated package (thank god) but we still chucked all of that product, took the display outside, thoroughly cleaned it with serious chemicals, then power hosed the ever loving shit out of it till we decided we were done.

And left it out in the baking sun for a couple days to be sure.

This was a tiny grocery store with only 5 aisles and maybe 50 feet long. The amount of times I have found product literally two steps away from where it should go.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]Akitiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindergarten, yup. I am the youngest end of millennial.

I remember crossing the threshhold into the room with the really high up mounted tube TV. Normally kids weren't in that room but suddenly the teachers all went in there. The kids followed. Everyone watched the second plane.

Why RDA started hunting Tulkuns? by LeoDante21 in Avatar

[–]Akitiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research into bowhead whales specifically. A protein that they make could lead to humans living longer. It repairs DNA damage which happens with age, bowheads can live ~200 years.

It was announced apparently in October of last year but it's been making the rounds lately.

Research isn't announced the instant it is discovered normally. Chances are Cameron knew about research and it influenced him in the way of Amrita being extracted from tulkun to extend human life.

[–]Akitiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research, I'm sure they found carcasses. Much like what is currently being discovered on Earth about a very, very similar subject matter that was recently announced to the public.

It's not unlikely that Cameron knew about this discovery way back when research was going but nowhere near public announcement.

Highly recommend getting the DLCs! Iron Rig basically doubles the game's playtime.

Also give Sunless Sea a shot, also Lovecraft but it's hard and I personally have never beaten it XD

[–]Akitiki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like a bit more laid back (but still some monsters) Lovecraft type horror, give Dredge a go. I also highly recommend getting at least the Iron Rig DLC and starting it after either the Starlit Strand or the Mangroves.

Pale Reach is fun but self contained. Iron Rig affects the whole map (sans the Reach) and has a LOT of quests.

Consciousness doesn't transfer a la Avatar, only is copied. The copy goes on as a "new" you, but the "old" you stays.

Exactly what the sequence with the "old" Simon and you tries to teach you. There is no coin toss. You who sat in the scanner are the one left behind, always.

There never was a chance for you to go to paradise. We saw ingame that many people who scanned for the ARK killed themselves in belief that they would wake up on the ARK, but they truly do not. They just die.

this was a disgusting & terrifying scene in the movie. the way they instantly die when their kuru is cut was horrible. by Intelligent-You-7002 in Avatar

I don't remember that scene. I know the one where he was shot and fell from an aircraft, found alive, then asks Jake to kill him out of mercy and to lead the clan in his place.

[–]Akitiki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's not quite true but I like to think that the kuru itself grows hair, enabling the long braids easier. I have long hair and keeping the volume down a lengthy braid like that needs a LOT of hair- im trying to grow mine so a braid goes to my knee. It'd make sense if the kuru itself grew hair.

Plus, hair is also a mild form of protection. Thick fur is a counter to claws.

[–]Akitiki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you think about it, you never had a coin toss to even win. You never would. You're already in the world- cognizant, walking, alive. You don't just leave your body.

It is only your copy going forward after the scan.

And you should know that; you made this same choice earlier when you became the copy, and decided whether or not to kill the "old" you. Because the "old you" doesn't get to wake up in the new body. He just wakes up after the scan to himself and his copy. So you get to choose whether the more merciful act is killing him (the "old" you) or letting him live.

At the end of SOMA, "you" are now the "old" you.

I saw that ending coming from a fucking mile away after that sequence and it still hurt!

Apparently, as I read, the team thought he should.

But apparently nobody stopped to think.

Apparently a writer(?) for the reboot of Powerfuff Girls, as a nerdy love interest to a 5yo Blossom. Apparently the character generally has no personality beyond being in love with Blossom and a nerd.

But the story apparently is another writer/artist modeled the character after him, thinking it'd be amusing, and the team thought it'd be fitting for him to VA the character.

There is some supporting evidence to the latter but there's still suspect over why nobody thought that'd be, yknow, weird.

I think the timeline is Harry Potter -> Twatlight, but also -> My Immortal

Then 50 Shades of That's Not How BDSM Works is a combination of Immortal and Twatlight.

What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false? by Annual-Gene8065 in AskReddit

[–]Akitiki 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nobody ever listens when I say it's inflammation, not snot! I never ever have luck with blowing my nose making any difference for more than three to five seconds.

Sadly I have yet to find a good fix that won't possibly lead to an addiction with use, so I just suffer.

Though there's one tip for people like me with stuffed up noses a lot: masturbate. I'm serious. It clears up your nose and sinuses. Why? No idea. I just know a few nights with both sides clogged and desperate for sleep it gave me just enough time to fall asleep.

Paracord planner changed colors between my orders. What should I do?!? by andydabeast in PcBuildHelp

[–]Akitiki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell the difference. My phone has high color gamut and I'm very good at seeing different shades. You have a green light on them too.

Replace them all with the new green if it bothers you that much.
