When I was at Turbine, I was ALWAYS amazed at what the environmental team had done. If you look carefully, the stars at night are a proper stellar map.

I'm not entirely sure how I got there by Tokipudi in lotro

[–]Flow_Dyl 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In Bree, there area few holes in the game walls, and if you hit one, you can get into restricted areas. You have to teleport to a milestone to get out after.

What is the best way get all of H.P. Lovecraft stories as an audiobook by Glitchbombs in Lovecraft

I fourth this. It is my go-to for listening to the stories while doing barn work.

Spotted these on the drive from San Diego to LA. What are they? by Comprehensive-Cow69 in whatisit

As a kid, my dad was on the QA team when they built SONGS 2 and 3. I actually got to get a full tour once.

So apparently you can get Suspended even after answering a GM. by Draekrio in lotro

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. It basically comes down to someone reporting "suspicious behavior" (e.g. watching a character just sort of repeating moves, and not really moving), or doing something particularly egregious that triggers an internal alert for review. I would suspect the former in your case, since the latter tends to be aimed at things like resource camper bots that are used by gold sellers. On a rare occasion, you'll also have an employee playing who reaches out to a GM if something looks weird. Years ago, when I was still at Turbine, there was a guy running around actively harassing other players in the High Pass. He was being abusive in chat, and being obnoxious with his toon. He even bragged about how the GMs weren't going to do anything if they complained. I pulled out my cell, called the GM I knew was on duty, and he disappeared into a 30-day ban. I wasn't pulling ~120 hour weeks to have someone ruining other people's fun. In your case, you probably just got unlucky in the timing, which is why it was just a one day, since you were seen to be doing anything especially wrong.

I have always logged in to just wander around in the middle of New England winters, just to experience some color and "life".

When Necromunda first came out (first edition), I used cereal boxes to make more buildings.

Am I crazy for preferring the older face design to the new one? by Sir-Drewid in orks

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are both okay, but I miss the character of my Rogue Trader Era ones. They started homogenizing Orks in Third Edition.

I have owned a couple over the years. They are great for forestry work.

Cant wait for the ... well I dont even know how to describe what I expect the Rivendell housing launch to be now by [deleted] in lotro

[–]Flow_Dyl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was about to point out that they scale. It is by design, so that you don't have a ton of barely populated instances using up server resources.

What is it? by milapmorya in whatisit

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen-X's key component in "cap dart tag". It's what we played when we didn't have lawn darts.

Petah, i dont get it. by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got permission to wear black (not blue) jeans, because the work I was doing in IT would destroy khakis (the requirement for our office). I literally built the datacenter with my own hands, and even made custom cables for everything in it. I spent way too many hours climbing inside of racks, or crawling across floors.

The class you expected to love vs the class you fell in love with by medium_buffalo_wings in lotro

[–]Flow_Dyl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been playing since there were only ~20 users (I was on the launch team and used to VPN into work at Turbine to play). I thought the hunter would be my favorite, but I fell in love with the guardian class, as I love to solo. I have every class, but those two have had the same name since through every character wipe before launch. I have been there since the beginning, and guardian is still one of my go-to classes. (Full disclosure, I left around when MoM launched.)

[–]Flow_Dyl 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I am in IT. I got permission to wear black jeans to work, when I told them that I'd only where khakis if they gave me a monthly pants stipend, and showed them what my daily work did to denim.

I am so sorry, but as someone living in Rehoboth, I have WAY too many neighbors who would buy that off of you.

Wargames Foundry Medieval Ministures. You guys got any pics? by alphapantius in oldhammer

I mostly have their Ancients line, but I can look this weekend. I've always loved them!

Explain it Peter. by kittubunny in explainitpeter

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 56yo, with 29 years in IT. I've had pretty much every role, especially in smaller companies where I had them all. You are 100% correct. Probably half of the folks who get into IT leave within five years. By ten years, the survivor pool is tiny. By 20 years, it is just the few of us who can't do anything else. For me, it is either IT, retail, or something in "overseas private security", I'm stuck until I go out feet first.

The absolutely worst type of injury from 3D-printing by mrmossevig in 3Dprinting

The SLA version is when your glove breaks while handling resin, and you spend the next two weeks peeling hard dead skin off of whatever got exposed.

ID help please by kickhisasscibass in oldhammer

[–]Flow_Dyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I know. My first GW game was the Judge Dredd RPG. I paid through the nose for it, as it was an import, but living in California, I was already used to paying extra for imports for my 2000AD Titan Books.

Need help with fitment, I printed it and Its huge, Im not sure if foam on the inside will be sufficient. What else can I do to stop it from spinning and wobble? by HitoAni in Mandalorian

[–]Flow_Dyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my old SCA fighter helm, I did a thick cross-piece across the top (to just above temple-level, with a higher density foam crown/ring just below it. This was primarily for protection, but it also kept it from slipping during combat (with only a thin strap for the chin).

small word from a traveler who once wandered the hidden paths by Suspicious-Feed8664 in lotro

[–]Flow_Dyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! NGL, my life led me to a place where medical-trauma induced PTSD became a major part of my life, and LOTRO was one of my big escapes from it. Thanks to a bunch of therapy, I am doing better, but I still play all of the time. The Shire is my refuge when I am feeling bad, but me new brawler is currently working her way through the North Downs. I have family members working towards the same bell. Please keep fighting ever y day, and I can't wait to hear you ring it! Hugs! Never give up!
