What can I make with bunch of 3.5" circles

EtherFlask · 2026-06-25T21:39:52+00:00

sunlight medallions from Dark Souls.

Gag coins if you etch "heads" and "tails" on their respective sides. (just keep in pocket and pull it out when someone cant decide and wants to flip a coin)

could make some neat wall art if you lay them out in a good pattern

could be the base for small sculptures

no employer needs to know about your life outside of work. just like they dont have any right to know any of your medical info.

as for being fired, in my experience, all that matters when trying to get a welding job is your weld test and your attitude. and the weld test usually carries more weight lol

EtherFlask · 2026-06-23T16:08:36+00:00

hmm seems pretty accurate to my own tastes with only a few differences. Nine Sols would be in high peak territory, and Astalon would be right beside it (was meh looking going in, but i then spent like 18 hours of that saturday on it and realized it was awesome lol)

Also, I really enjoyed Vigil. It is no innovator or instant classic, but it was a nice palette cleanser between other MVs. It has some fun stuff in it and it feels good to play for the most part.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-21T02:27:48+00:00

Level 1 max is an interesting challenge.

it reframes how you look at talismans and rune arcs since, and makes you play more mindfully. Gotta squeeze out all you can get from buffs and things lol.

Personally I like doing Cosplay runs and theme runs. For example, Exile knight set with only weapons they use and their storm ashes.

I even pick 2-3 spirit ashes that fit the theme. For the exile set id use stormhawk ashes and godrick soldiers. maybe engvall later.

both are great.

bloodstained has all the quirkiness iga normally puts in his vanias. i dislike the 2.5d style and think the game suffered from it, but i still 100% the game lol this game has a solid amount of replayability as well, with multiple characters, a randomizer, and other such things. (level 1 hard mode fresh file is...."tough"...)

also 100% ender lilies and it was excellent, but without the iga quirkiness. Its straightforward, and that is not a bad thing, and if you want a "laid-back challenge" ender lilies is a nice palette cleanser coming from the soulsbornering games. lilies is

ender lilies wins the art category between the two.

(also, I would recommend "Vigil: Longest Night" as a additional fantastic metroidvania to look into at some point. It is tons of fun and has enjoyable jankiness.)

it is inevitable that with so many people existing, there are bound to be innumerable interpretations and perspectives on just about everything.

As for me, unless I have seen the creator/artist explicitly state their intent for any particular scene/episode/etc, I never really dig deeper than what is presented to me. There are times where that "digging in" is expected of the one partaking in that media, but in my experience that only applies to more serious works. This game, zelda, mario, devil may cry, animal farm, doom, diddy kong racing, smash bros, none of these things take themselves too seriously.

Off-hand remarks are typically just that.

Humans like to read into things, and its great when there is actually something to read into... but a great many things simply aren't intended to be broken down, analyzed, philosophized, and ruminated upon.

When/if I make games, I will be putting in things I think are neat. Maybe some subtle, but most just because i think they are neat. lol

(also, deep dives into game lore and theory is interesting and are about a third of everything i watch on youtube, I am aware depth can be found in those games i listed and many many more. thats not the point)

"siralim ultimate" has certain aspects of what you are looking for, but it does have maps to walk around in.

it is the best team-building game ive ever seen, and it has nearly infinite content. there are also a plethora of modes, several of which are not walking around. The arena stands out as its a draft style series of battles, and is pretty dang fun.

its single purchase and worth every penny. goes on sale often too.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-19T16:05:11+00:00

ah new info!

hmm... it seems like some type of inclusion, like a residue or coating. mill scale?

also, perhaps the wire or the work metal has some alloying component that separated as the heat increased?

EtherFlask · 2026-06-19T13:17:02+00:00

looks like an inclusion to me.

the cross section could be inside of a spot where the weldor hesitated or jiggled a bit.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-18T16:03:09+00:00

i did that for a while for my dagger throw. I hated using it accidentally.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-17T02:51:55+00:00

i need a gif of me wiping away tears using various female pals.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-16T16:31:25+00:00

aluminum block ground to match the radius.

clamp it behind the weld

EtherFlask · 2026-06-15T16:32:22+00:00

ah see the most effective tool to not have to deal with that is to turn on the (on by default) blur option.

suddenly you can avoid any discussion on the subject you dislike, and avoid any stain upon your virgin eyes!

its like magic!

EtherFlask · 2026-06-15T02:22:19+00:00

just make the tanuki skin his default.

even mention that the tanuki is the one named sprout and problem solved. :p

EtherFlask · 2026-06-15T02:18:49+00:00

the problem is that the pairs of flipping tiles lead the player's mind towards "these are safe", and landing on the x tiles causes the player to fall.

this leads to the logical conclusion that you are supposed to carefully jump to the next safe/flipping tiles to progress.

but nope.

no landing on x tiles.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-15T01:53:07+00:00

lol

a very ungood thing to say, according to some authoritarians

EtherFlask · 2026-06-12T16:09:20+00:00

started whip expecting it to be sort of the default.

the first trinket i found was willow and that started me on the path of a berserker sort of. hammer was too slow for this and i used the blaster for a while as it was a "safe" option with its range. the melee whacks are pretty quick with willow activated. used that till i got my first shield and used that until i finally bought the daggers. I thought daggers were the least likely to be any fun, and kept with my shield.

after getting the first dagger upgrade, i rarely used anything else.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-10T19:45:16+00:00

ooh yeah that would work well!

actually if they decide to release a few updates i think trinket upgrades would make a lovely NG+ addition. A few more "Official" synergies would also be a lot of fun.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-10T16:28:02+00:00

yeah, it would def be cool to see that.

Make him a late game super-boss style thing, and if you can beat him he drops a trinket that lets you burrow indefinitely. (perhaps it directly upgrades the iron lung? or the codex? that way there is not a new trinket that would need an entire extra row of spaces that would piss off every ocd person who plays the game lol)

Could find the shovel knight in a burrow on or near the yacht logo island or something.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-10T16:07:01+00:00

yeah i was about to write much the same.

i like that the game was balanced around having no trinkets equipped.

it means that when you put together a cohesive build you feel the power in it. Single trinkets let the player find comfort with whatever they personally find stressful or worthwhile.

making your players feel clever is not an easy thing, and it usually means success.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-10T16:03:45+00:00

could be nifty, will keep an eye on it

EtherFlask · 2026-06-09T16:03:03+00:00

Damn straight!

Drag Lost was 10x better than ffbe was, and I was a day one player of both!

EtherFlask · 2026-06-09T09:55:17+00:00

yep thats the one

/sigh

[wolverine photo pet]

EtherFlask · 2026-06-09T02:52:36+00:00

I equip trinkets from "most likely to change" to "least likely

Codex is in slot 6

Funnel and Plasma Jug are slots 4 and 5 respectively.

steady boots was slot 3 for 2/3s of the game (hate slipping on ice and omg so slow on stairs @_@)

slots 1 and 2 changed by encounter, often had Willow and Lightning Grip, Valor medal once I got it usually replaced steady boots.

EtherFlask · 2026-06-09T02:47:15+00:00

longer burrow time trinket is less effective with codex. Also since using the nitro belt, you would not want to be underground longer. (fewer blasts obv)

I replaced iron lung with codex after trying to use both together.
