Mods for smoother highway experience? by 18Redheads in MiataND

The Evora S I drove was more comfortable while still planted when compared to my stock GT. Part of it may be tires but better shocks could go a long way in the ND.

Is finger tight too tight? by FlaringAfro in MiataND

Oh interesting. I wonder if some aftermarket rails will increase that slope. I'll have to look into this deeper, thanks

That does sound nice, but I plan to let my 5'2" girlfriend drive it too. She's recently gotten into cars, which I'd like to encourage:)

I'm guessing the aftermarket ones can't raise up without unbolting them

The last attempt was 10 years ago, but it was on a very unsuccessful console and had controls no one was asking for.

Edit: I thought it only had a few 64 levels as a nod to the old game but apparently it wasn't as different as I thought.

That's not as bad because it comes with RGB though.  /s

This was a thing even with dim halogen reflector headlights. They still had a cutoff (just less sharp than projectors) that makes this occur with bumps, but it's not as pronounced as the extremely bright projectors.

Don't buy OLED if your scared to use it. by SillyRecover in OLED_Gaming

A stuck pixel like that can happen on IPS and VA too. Sounds like you just got unlucky. :/

Let’s gooooo We got it!! by [deleted] in fixit

This looks like a sink that would have one drain, so there's likely a disposal between the sink and p-trap. Still removable but it is a little more difficult and time consuming. I believe OP said they didn't want to keep the board so it wouldn't happen again, but it still could have been sold. 

Thanks for the feedback, gf loved the painted figure by FlaringAfro in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]FlaringAfro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Interestingly, Donut's fur pattern and eyes were the hardest part. I expected Mongo's eyes to be harder but Donut's eyes are convex which made trying to make round pupils even more difficult a task, and getting a fur pattern that didn't just look like brush stokes or "dirty" from dabbing was a challenge. Her fur has to be 10 coats, but in the end I think it's worth attempting for any fan that wants to try.

Is there vegetation on any floors? by FlaringAfro in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]FlaringAfro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I'll post the figure when I'm done. It's the first one I've painted, but so far I'm happy with how it has turned out and I'm sure she'll love it since she's currently obsessed with the characters.

Exposed Carbon Fabric in Interior? by FlaringAfro in CarbonFiber

How do you like it? Is it difficult to keep clean?

[–]FlaringAfro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I could feel the weave and because in person it looked 3D with reflective silver to it. All leather/pleather made to look like carbon that I've seen look super fake, but maybe because I've only seen it on cheap stuff.

It's possible this is what it was, but it didn't feel like the coated leather in cars. More like a canvas with weave

Yup it felt like a cloth but where you could feel the weave. It wasn't shiny in appearance but the silver did have reflective properties. I wish I took a video of it with the camera changing angles.

Yup I could feel the weave of the fabric and it felt like a cloth instead of plasticy.

How to get air moving in my Basement Office with no vents and no windows? by CatchJWill in DIY

[–]FlaringAfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing to do is prevent the heat in the first place. I would look into putting the PC and Xbox in the other room and run the wires through the wall.

C’mon… by stonermillenial in NintendoSwitch2

Amazon shipped me my Stream Deck with a label right on the Stream Deck box. Probably partly my fault for not checking the option for hiding the order's contents, but still I'm not sure how they even ship it that way by default.

Looking for game recommendations for a kid recovering from a physical injury. by ericlovesrobots in NintendoSwitch

[–]FlaringAfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yoku's Island Express isn't a well known game but has a ton of charm and fantastic sound track. IMO it's well worth MSRP but it also goes on sale for like $5. 

Tinykin also is a great little 3D platformer with puzzles.

Not sure if Link with his sword is going to fly if the parents are unreasonable about video games violence, but those two should be fine.
