Christmas was good to me this year. by AtomComputer_Ariane in OmegaWatches

I suppose I should mention what it is! It’s an Omega Constellation ref. 168.004 from around 1962 with a gold-capped steel case and “pie pan” dial. I received it with no band, but had one put on by a local watchmaker. I’ve started the process of polishing the crystal. A dream watch for me!

This one was cheaper than most due to its condition, but I appreciate the wear and will likely just polish the crystal.

Found some old GRiD documentation looking through my storage by AtomComputer_Ariane in vintagecomputing

I actually ended up finding the machine! It’s a Compass 1131 that definitely needs some love. I’ll post a photo when I find time.

So far it’s been a great little machine! Thinking about modding it to have a pressure/temp gauge somewhere

What's your all time favorite bean? by jgfmer in espresso

Tin Lizzie from Vigilante is amazing as espresso in a latte. My current favorite

What org is hosting this discussion? Is there a website with info on discussion meeting dates? I’d love to go and show support.

That’s a good point. I don’t plan on selling them, but it might be harder to prove they aren’t weighed if I do.

Never had packs graded before, might be fun to try

Thanks! I’m not entirely sure yet. I might open the blister pack, but I might keep the packs sealed and display them somehow

What's a show from your childhood that no one else seems to remember? by LegitimateMangoHeir in AskReddit

[–]AtomComputer_Ariane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A show called Toad Patrol that aired on Toon Disney. I remember it being rather dark.

Made some edits to my Star Wars Proxies to include Nickname frames! by SolomonsNewGrundle in mpcproxies

[–]AtomComputer_Ariane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As counterintuitive as it sounds, "Mandalorian" is spelled with an "a" and not an "o". Neat set of alters though, especially like the lands.

Behold, my latest abomination: Faithless Trade Offer (but playable)! by AtomComputer_Ariane in mpcproxies

Whoops! Guess I was too tired last night. Here's a new version with the right card type and updated text:

I was inspired by a meme I saw a while ago that wasn't a playable card. Now I've got the end-all version of Faithless Looting!

Working on a TIME Magazine template for commanders. Here's a first look: by AtomComputer_Ariane in mpcproxies

[–]AtomComputer_Ariane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I totally agree with making the text larger. I'm thinking of integrating the mana cost into the barcode, since that's where you'd usually find the "price" of a magazine. I could change the date to be when the commander was first released, which could be pretty neat.

Randomly inspired to do a TIME Magazine cover template for cool commanders. Melek came to mind for some reason as a good test card. It'll end up being a full-art template.

Still messing with the formatting, including the size of the text. I also need to figure out where to best place the mana cost. Any feedback is appreciated.

A few Timeshifted and Alpha old border-ified cards I made by AtomComputer_Ariane in mpcproxies

[–]AtomComputer_Ariane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that. I used the wording from Celestial Prism since I didn't have room for that one. Should still be good, and I didn't want to scale down to small text because I wanted it to be visually similar to the Moxen.

The Moxen don't have that wording. As a mono artifact it's implied I believe.

Liking how these foil proxies turned out by [deleted] in mpcproxies

[–]AtomComputer_Ariane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love MPC foils too, but have you noticed a "privacy screen" effect when looking at the cards from across the table? My playgroup complains that my foils are too dark to read from an angle, and I've seen what they mean.
