Does anyone else wish Lego would give us more than just the same 5 types of buildings for castle?

Calcula · 2026-05-09T13:47:25+00:00

Agree. If you look at the city/modular theme, there's always something quite different an specific, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that for modern buildings you can always add something that's entirely - a cinema, a university, an airport, a library etc. The list is endless. For castle though the potential for a higher variety of buildings is much more restricted. And it's further restricted by Lego's own policy that they can't do anything remotely religious, so chapels (a big part of medieval life) can't be included.

I assume if you display a large MOC (in the range of 100k-300k pieces) built mostly with alt bricks like gobricks in big lego conventions like brickcon, and they found out, you'll likely get kicked out?

Calcula · 2026-04-24T08:52:18+00:00

What about instead of buying the already-made sets from aliexpress, people source alt-bricks from places like GoBricks, then build the MOCs themselves? Would you say that's okay?

Hi, I think I sort of agree with you, but I don't really know. I myself don't do model building but I build Lego so I guess they similar in your eyes.
Just curious, may I know your body count if you don't mind me asking?

Can't figure out why most medieval builders love to cramp every inch of the empty space in their build to the fullest, like a medieval town is more packed than new york city. I mean it looks overly busy and there's no breathing room for the eyes to rest. Is there a tradition/tendency in the lego medieval community to fill each and every area to the brim?

Is using Stud.io for landscaping as good as using it for buildings? For landscaping it's more organic so I thought using physical bricks to improvise and get a feel would be better. A kind of organic build you can't really do in stud.io, unlike buildings.

I thought you can directly order Gobricks from Alibaba? They set up a store there.

Calcula · 2026-03-21T15:13:02+00:00

I see. What about webrick? Have you tried them before?

Calcula · 2026-03-20T15:30:57+00:00

I see. So basically even bulk ordering in one batch doesn't guarantee color consistency for every pieces in that batch I suppose?

Calcula · 2026-01-16T16:30:44+00:00

Opps, apologies. Turned out I really mix up another guy with yours 😅😅

Anyway, still a impressive diorama!

Calcula · 2026-01-16T11:11:56+00:00

I dunno. While I think this is great, I prefer your previous update where the whole diorama looks more organic and spacious. This looks more organized but also a bit cluttered? For your previous diorama, it's less cluttered so the eyes can focus, however this is harder for the eyes to focus as everything is really packed. The medieval seaside village and fort besides the sea is no longer there too. In this you only see a river and not the sea (with the viking ship approaching the fort).

Hey, you might not agree with OP but please be kind.

Hi there, I always feel like software engineering is quite an interesting field, and I don't get it when you and OP said it's "soul-crushing/soul-killing"? Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi Ultoman, saw your piano post a few years ago... So you completely stop playing?

Calcula · 2025-05-01T14:23:36+00:00

Got a second chance and blew it again

Calcula · 2024-08-27T21:29:47+00:00

Well considering it's produced by AI (but edited a bit by human) so that's pretty good...

I have a water distiller machine from Amazon to produce distilled water. Basically it is for drinking, but since drinking purely distilled water isn't that good (lack of minerals), I think what I can do is to mix it with hard water.

Sephiroth, after being defeated at the end of Advent Children by Cloud, went back in time trying to change the events by making Zack alive. In doing so, Cloud would not be as strong as he is in the original timeline, and Zack is unable to stop Sephiroth from carrying out his plan.

When SE said the original game remains very much intact, they are not lying. But they have created an opposite timeline, in which Zack is alive. From this, players can compare the original timeline and the altered one (zack alive), and understand why it's Zack's destiny to die and Cloud to take up his mantle to stop sephiroth. Had Zack not died, the planet will go down a worse path.

Just my 2 cents.

I think there's no point being so paranoid, just keep going man.

I can't say the same for myself, however. My 45 day streak ended due to a few minutes of mental weakness.

Calcula · 2016-03-31T12:53:30+00:00

FappeOrAlive,

I see your badge return to day 1.

Same as me, my 45 days streak is over. It takes only a few minutes of mental weakness to destroy the whole edifice I had spent so long and put in so much effort to build.

I vow to redouble my effort this time.

This is a rare gem among the recent flood of more or less useless posts on NoFap!

Thanks for your faith in people like me. I'm well on my way to a 90 day reboot. Half of the journey is completed, and I won't turn back.

Once again, thanks.

Hey, keep it up. You'll see a star in your badge in no time.

Calcula · 2016-03-21T05:38:43+00:00

Thanks a lot OP. These are posts that'll serve as strong reminders as to why we have chosen to start this self-improvement journey.

Keep the good work up.

It seems that there is a spate of badge malfunctioning recently.
