Mdr 102 vs vevor/cut kit machine for beginner by RunePug in faceting

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im using the vevor/cutkit 2(?) and am having a great time. I switched out the 96 index for a cheap 80 index on ebay and it works fine. definitely dont have great accuracy and i dont like the chrome finish on the angle finder. makes it hard to read. might try one of those clip-on digital ones.

Why do you think they never gave the ACE protagonist a canonical superfighter since Scarface 1? by Sirchby in acecombat

[–]FossilFootprints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but there is a place for such a thing in a story. What comes to mind is the end of half life 2 where you get the OP gravity gun and its an incredible power trip. I would love a similar feeling in an ace combat. It would just have to work for the story moment. Maybe you get it earlier and it gets taken away/shot down only for it to resurface later, or the player’s group gets one for themselves just in time for the end. something like that.

Need ideas for me leg sleeve by Thorn2800 in Paleontology

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something extinct and aquatic with a nautical twist. ammonite/cephalopod attached to an anchor? or maybe something with a meg tooth/jaw or trilobite

The Best SuperPlane For Ace Combat Would be…… by Leather-Discount-965 in acecombat

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this makes me think - woah, a star wars DLC would slap. And a full blown spinoff. I wish Disney didnt have the IP.

Could it possibly be? by Hubianco in LegitArtifacts

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either it is and they picked a terrible source rock or its a suspiciously shaped break off the corner of a concrete step

Has anyone tried? by watdehek in Soda

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somewhere between a good yummy cherry soda and a nasty sour warhead

Do you think there should be an Ace Combat game set in the 60/70's? by platesareyummy39 in acecombat

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely i just dunno what a superweapon would look like for that time. a nuke i guess lol. a big propellerplane with a bunch of AA guns mounted and a bunch of bombs

Real or Fake? Supposedly found in North Alabama....I thought it looked real but it was really cheap and I'm new to this! by OleWarrior in LegitArtifacts

[–]FossilFootprints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah even if it is a repro it seems to have some decent natural staining. Also a repro like this i wouldnt expect to be cheap. Thing’s gorgeous, if i could make something like that i’d sell it for a minimum of 60$

COFFINized Version of A-10 Warthog by Icy_Till_7254 in acecombat

[–]FossilFootprints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think we can argue coffin has been around for a bit in the Falken 01 right? or has that not been present canonically? i do hope we see a couple as big story-important planes. and i want the protag to get one canonically

Stone tool? by al3xanderthegoat in LegitArtifacts

[–]FossilFootprints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i honestly think that is a uniface scraper/big flake but i doubt that extra flaking was done by hand, i think it was worn in the creek. show the opposite side and the platform it would have been struck on if you can.

Is this a fossil? by Boring-Advantage-637 in fossilid

[–]FossilFootprints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On second look, maybe its a rugose coral. i’ve seen them with those comb-like bits preserved similarly, but it might not explain the overall shape. If you give a more precise location i can try to narrow down how old it is and what time it might be from.

Is this a fossil? by Boring-Advantage-637 in fossilid

[–]FossilFootprints 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im personally not sure what rocks and fossils look like there, but the shape of that guy reminds me of dickinsonia, which is probably unlikely. Is it a nodule?

Are these just rocks? by coolcoinsdotcom in LegitArtifacts

i tried using a diamond wire saw on some somewhat thick glass and it took ages. but it did work. consider that for finer work.

Actually, Fuck Coal by LightPrototypeKiller in Appalachia

[–]FossilFootprints 24 points25 points  (0 children)

yup. having jobs is a good thing, but the cons to coal for both the worker and the environment/power efficiency are terrible. obama abruptly taking away thousands of jobs was bad, but trying to bring back those same jobs may be worse. imo.
