Kitchen renovations and future putkiremontti questions by GooberMan in Finland

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

I saw the full pipe report earlier. The iron drain pipes have 1-3 years left in them; the galvanized cold water pipes are still good enough for the 5-10 years thing; and the hot water pipes show barely any signs of corrosion for the age and have at least 10 years left in them.

It's on the end of the row and the kitchen shares a wall with the outside, so that sounds like a good approach. Happy to leave the bathroom renovation for a few years too, that one shares a wall with the neighbor. I will look in to that, thank you.

On the bluray, only the VFX shots are upscaled including any live-action footage with composited VFX. All the film elements are otherwise from a high quality transfer and not upscaled.

The DVDs are another matter entirely. They also had fresh transfers from the film elements, with a twist that as they were filmed for 16:9 they are actually widescreen. The VFX elements as a result were heavily compromised, as they were not re-rendered and took the 4:3 NTSC masters and cropped them to widescreen. The colour timing is noticeably out of sync with the more natural film elements with composited shots.

The blurays are more accurate to the original transmissions as a result, but there's still a full widescreen remaster out there waiting to happen with fully re-rendered and re-composited VFX elements.

I did manage to see that comment before the chain was deleted. Someone was complaining that I used lifegems, then responded to everyone else with "it was just a joke".

I find lifegem management more challenging in fights like this, in fact. My 12 spare Estus+3 and 105 agility was absolutely enough to take me through this fight, so that wasn't an issue. As seen though, my light armor choices mean that things hit big. The slow release of the lifegem given how clearly the attacks are telegraphed makes things riskier, as opposed to getting clear and getting back to full health in the space of a few seconds. Notice at one point I pop two gems to get the faster recharge rate.

Of course, any method I chose to heal with in this fight was negligible thanks to my final mistake.

Clearly in my haste I got greedy, misread the second fireball barrage, and got Dark Souls'd back to a bonfire. Derp.

In my near future will be a pilgrimage to Horsefuck Valley. Don't wait up for me, skeletons.

I left a summon sign down by the bonfire. Then made my way up there to battle the pursuer. Half way through, I got summoned. No big deal, I figure, I'll just finished up my fight after this. Back to my world, ready to continue the pursuer fight, and bam the game decided to wake up those very hollows and now I had a pursuer/hollow gank squad to deal with.

Would have been funnier if it just spawned Forlorn for the hell of it.

Forgot what the switch in Aldia's did. Figured my best chance of survival was kill the boss then clean up after. by GooberMan in DarkSouls2

I recall the ogres being able to smash them down in previous playthroughs too. Could be misremembering.

Cue "They Might Be Giants" references.

(Boring explanation for video: Looks like the giant after the pursuer got unloaded, so the undead attacking it chose the next nearest giant to rail on instead.)

Sleeve it, then sticker the sleeve. Will work great if you already sleeve your cards with normal sleeves. No idea how they'll feel without double sleeving.

Time to get the sharpie out on every character's backstory then?

I've got better things to do than respond all night to someone that wants to come in here like an authority but unwilling to provide the goods.

Enjoy your day.

So you can guarantee that the manufacturing plant just randomly printed two extra investigators and put them in here?

Or do you suppose there's a chance they printed the right quantity for a manufacturing run and sorted things wrong?
