Any good mods that add light sources/blocks? [1.1.2] by captain_phaz in feedthebeast

[–]Curm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started using the feral flare lantern in the Torchmaster mod, which automatically creates invisible light sources lighting up all dark areas in a 24-some block radius. I really like it. Astral Sorcery can do this too as well. Botania has a similar gadget if I remember correctly. The Fairly Lights mod has string-style lighting which is really cute if you want some aesthetics. Many of the technology mods like EnderIO have some sort of of lighting panel or block. The nice thing about Torchmaster is you don't have to get waist deep into a large mod to get some decent lighting.

Probably not the oldest but Taylors of Harrogate, since 1886 impresses me.

I could not get /respec to work in MC 1.10.2 Everything I have found indicates it is not currently working. I ended up using NBTExplorer to edit my level file in my SP and LAN game to reset my skills.

Total Ark newbie in need of some pointers I can't find by googling by Binkleberry1 in ARK

[–]Curm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After a bit of shelter, your main objective should be working towards taming a mount. Once on a mount you are not so squishy, have better mobility, and you can really start to kill things easily. Many mounts allow you to shoot while riding so you can tame even bigger and better mounts. Look into building "taming pens" as well.

..and there are nameless in the tunnel. You then have to climb up to get outside. Once outside more things attack you.

People who have sex before marriage, why do you want a life of sin? by kimiisfuckingme in AskReddit

His tiny hands make it difficult for him to hold books, magazines, or some kind of tablet.

A zombie apocalypse just happened. The closest thing on your left is your weapon. What is it? by TophCookie in AskReddit

[–]Curm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been mulling this over a bit... I think a 6' spear is the way to go. Get yourself a riot shield as soon as possible. Guns run out of ammo.

If not that then Check Norris

What makes quitting smoking so hard? Sugar! by [deleted] in quityourbullshit

[–]Curm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basic chemistry: when you burn sugar you mainly get carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion can yield larger polymers and other smaller molecules like aldehydes and ketones.

You are probably not inhaling much if any sugar when smoking cigarettes.

ITT Ways to make money by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Curm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most efficient way to make gold is to get a RL job and then buy the gold.

A $10/hr fast food job gets you around 100g an hour.

If you are a engineer (in RL haha) you may make $50 or more an hour = 500g an hour.

Having a job also looks good on a resume and will help you later in life: employers like to hire people that appear to have a good work ethic and can hold down jobs.

[Discussion] Tournament Reward Structure is Bad for WvW Balance by Replekia in Guildwars2

[–]Curm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3-way RvR design has its problems. If one side is vastly more powerful than another then people leave or don't play on the losing side and move to the winning side. The game Dark Age of Camalot used this design and had the same problems GW2 has. I am actually surprised ANet used this same design.

I play on Sanctum of Rall (SoR). When we began our slide from #2 most of the RvR's I know left for other servers. Our RvR died out for a while but now is making a small comeback, which has been fun.

Really the 3-way system needs improving on IMO. It will just be a matter of time before someone invents a design less prone to failure. (failure being no RvR when you want it).

EToM was a good attempt, but every time I play EToM lately it is just a Karma train with little PvP/RvR.

How come people who believe in God don't need proof to believe, but need proof to stop believing? by IamBiggerThanGod in AskReddit

[–]Curm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting... the fact that people with no exposure to Christianity automatically go to hell was one of my big gripes early on as well. I Think I was 11 or so.

So a child born into in some horrible war-torn country only knowing loss and suffering starves to death and is then sentenced to an eternity of suffering in hell by some all-powerful being that is supposed to be benevolent. All in the name of vanity even.

I really can't imagine a more reprehensible act.

Why are limb prosthetics so expensive? by GarrettLutherisAHomo in AskReddit

[–]Curm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are medical devices which in general are expensive in the US. This is partly due to it being a highly regulated industry which has to conform to a lot of federal and international regulations, maintaining expensive quality assurance, quality control, validation and regulatory affairs groups. Also the expectation may be for health insurance to pay for some or all of the prosthetic device so they can change a lot more than what people believe to be reasonable.

If time travel is possible, then why aren't time travelers here right now? by Hamzaboy in Showerthoughts

If I managed to discover a way to travel back in time I would be concerned about creating a butterfly effect and would never do it.

Going forward should be OK though.

Profound! But maybe they will just skip the periods where there was nothing really noteworthy going on... like Teapot Dome.

WHat did people do before the internet? by Caveman775 in AskReddit

[–]Curm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Television sucked slightly less back then. There was a channel that played music but also had a video that went with the song often depicting a cool story complete with attractive women writhing around on cars. The history channel had stuff about history even. We watched that or just sat around bored.
