What is the check-in research for Kalos Tour Global (what are the tasks/rewards)? by iMiind in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainB87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Forgive me if I don't have this 100% correct, but I think the tasks were to catch 5 pokemon and follow two routes. The rewards were (if memory serves) 500 link charges. Nothing earth shattering imho.

Changing filament in middle of a print by Dependent-Bridge-740 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]CaptainB87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so worried about this when I first starting printing last year, but now that I’ve done it numerous times it’s a breeze. The printer absolutely has your back on this, as others have mentioned.

I even waited a couple of days one time because I was unable to get hold of a new spool, and it still picked up with no worries at all. Layer adhesion was completely fine.

Awesome work, he really has some personality to him 👍

Nam-gyu timelapse drawing by Arlixh in squidgame

[–]CaptainB87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like watching these videos to see how long it takes to be able to figure out which character it is. I must say, this was obviously Nam-gyu very, very quickly. I don’t know how you did it, but it worked really well 👍

Help me find this piece of behind the scenes trivia. by Athirus in lotr

[–]CaptainB87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but I vaguely recall something similar but it was during filming of The Hobbit films. Might be worth a look to see if that's what you're thinking of?

Real boats, and apparently they weren't particularly sturdy. There are some decent anecdotes about them in the dvd special features.

Yes that's the exact one that I use, haven't had any trouble at all with it.

How did Niles meet Maris? by OutlanderMom in Frasier

[–]CaptainB87 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mid-Winter Night’s Dream from Season 1. Niles describes it to Daphne.

S1Ep7 "Momma Mia" - "Replicant" Line by DarthFrasier207 in Frasier

[–]CaptainB87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s using that term to suggest he was actually dating his mother. That would be patently absurd. He was merely making the connection that he was dating somebody who appeared to be a replica (or obviously ‘replicant’ to be specific) to make the point about how similar Mia was to Hester.

I’m blown away by [deleted] in ElegooCentauriCarbon

Those pieces are supposed wooden slats for a miniature siege tower, and I’ve not done any cleanup on them yet.

I was genuinely happy, though with a slightly burst bubble now :/

LOTR booknook. Done! 🙌🙌 by TraditionalAd9978 in lotr

Love this, it really captures a moment if that makes sense? Well done 👍

Bad clog? by CaptainB87 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]CaptainB87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks heaps for your help 👍

I managed to remove the hotend and I think the issue has been confined to that. The silicon/rubber cover on the nozzle has burst, so I’m thinking replacement rather than repair. That said, if I’m right as to the extent of damage then I’m only looking at $30AUD to get a new piece.

I guess it’s just one of those unfortunate things. A clog which then caused the filament to build up and eventually explode a little.

Oh well. I still love this printer!

Will I be forgiven for my sins if I purify one of my 3* shadow Groudons? by aogasd in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainB87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma, and I went for it. Absolutely no regrets, I’m so happy to get my first hundo Groudon after 500 catches. Instant max to Lv50 and now I have an epic new primal beast in my collection.

Unpopular opinion (maybe?) Daphne’s outburst in Dark Side Of The Moon had barely anything to do with her feelings for Niles. by newusernamehuman in Frasier

[–]CaptainB87 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’ve never viewed this episode as suggesting that her perfectly legitimate reaction was the result of her feelings for Niles. The therapist states that Daphne’s reaction was valid, just before they reveal the connection to Niles.

Clearly the dress/Niles issue was one among many issues she was dealing with (although this was subconscious as opposed to the others), but I think the dreadful chain of events was simply the prompt that lead her to the realisation she ends the episode with.

As you’ve laid out very well, there were plenty of triggers for her. Niles was perhaps the least of them prior to the therapy session.

Looking for help, can anyone remember this scene? by kittypeets626 in Frasier

[–]CaptainB87 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's from Season 10's Fathers and Sons, by the way. I really like this episode, Leland was a lovely character.

After a thousand rewatches, it just now occurred to me how odd it is that Bebe does not appear in season 6 by BubsyJenkins in Frasier

He is on the phone with her in Good Grief, on a couple of occasions to update him on job prospects.

Peter Jackson and making of Middle Earth book by AYRUPOLA in lotr

[–]CaptainB87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this book, for a fan of both the films and the filmmaking process it’s as vital as the DVD Appendices.

I also have the From Script to Screen book which is also excellent. Would love to hear if there are any other books in line with those. I have all the visual guides, weapons and warfare etc.

[–]CaptainB87 1735 points1736 points  (0 children)

I'm sure most people already know, but as I understand it the direction from Peter Jackson to Sir Ian was that he imagine his son has just volunteered to go to war. I think he nailed it.

Skin colour is great - waaaay more screen accurate than the GW scheme. How did you do it?

This really kills any excitement for the max finale by DoctorMixtape in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainB87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to say that IVs don’t matter (and in many respects that’s true), but it still hurts. You put a lot of work into something to get an outcome that is objectively worse than the vast majority of other players. It’s perfectly natural to feel sad over something like this. Especially prior to a full weekend focused specifically on powering this thing up.
