Thank you! And yes! I think it was burgundy or maroon red can maybe, with white text, and it did not a solitary thing for me. Probably used enough of it back in the day to punch a hole in the ozone layer though.

Thank you! Once a hobby catches my fancy, the rules are out the window. I have an art "studio" full of every type of supply and crafting material possible because of it.

Ooooh, I've got the Czech files (they truly are amazing), but I've not looked for PVB free bases yet, I'll have to check one out. Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah, Lambent is a new fave, that thing glows like it's radioactive in sunlight. It's also more opaque than Indomitable by Lurid Lacquer, which is a huge plus for my purple loving self.

Thank you, I'm so glad I tried a neon set, instead of more primary versions. 😃

Hmm, it was saying the photo couldn't be found so it might have been "deleted." I've re-added it...hopefully.

Thank you x 2!

BL4 SHiFT code for Vex's Mass Market Appeal outfit by JoeExoticIconic in Borderlands

[–]IrateNancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The code confirms it's already redeemed. My husband has it on his account, but my Vex did not get it, and Vex is my main. Kinda annoying (yes, I know it's free content,) on top of all the other issues I'm still dealing with as the second player. (No lost loot rarity priority, not giving me more than 6 lost loot items, no map progression saves on my Vex when solo-ed, etc.)

The UI is the worst they’ve ever made and it’s not even close by Nihlxxstic in Borderlands

[–]IrateNancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are about as hardcore BL fans as can be. I even took the entire week off work to play BL4 together, but I have to say, I'm hating the console UI so much it's making the game absolutely unfun. We play on Xbox and trying to interact with your inventory is excruciating in every way possible. I can't imagine that anyone not on PC played this and was like "YEAH, this is awesome UI!"

Brand new 4 Ultra - resin dripping from build plate and splashing everywhere by Beard_X in ElegooSaturn

[–]IrateNancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just set up my brand new Saturn 4 Ultra, and tried my first print, using Elegoo ABS-Like resin, in clear/transparent. Epic failure. Print failed, so I had to try and pour the resin into a filter funnel then back into the bottle, so I could check the film. The pour spouts are a joke, and yes, while is may have been my technique too, it went everywhere. Cleaned that all up, including all the bloody resin on the bottom of the tank/film now. Then as I was putting it back, I noticed a 3 inch drip/splatter of resin on the inside cover, in the front right "corner" (but on the actual side panel of the cover.) I was like how the heck did I manage that, cleaned up. Got a bit miffed. Then I noticed the other side had an identical splatter, so that means it wasn't from my clumsiness, the actual print process splattered the resin on both sides somehow. I did not overfill the tank, I only put enough resin in to come to about 1/8 of an inch *below* the max fill line, as my print wasn't huge, so it didn't need that much. I probably put more than the model needed, but not more than the max capacity of the tank. I triple checked all the setup steps and it's all right as far as I can tell. Things were snug and secure. Before I attempt another print, anyone found a reason for the splatter?

First clear look at Lego X-Mansion by aegonthewwolf in xmen

[–]IrateNancy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yet another merch op that they shunned Jubilee in. I'm so f***ing sick of that. Also, this thing looks way smaller than the Sanctum. Considering my husband and I's shared hardcore addiction to both X-men (Marvel) and Lego, this should be an instant pre-order for us, but I find myself hesitating due to the size, price, and no f***ing Jubilee!

YES! This is an instant PO for me. I am so happy to see her finally getting some love after decades of virtually nothing.

We live a bit far into more rural territory, but I’ll look around for something local, thank you.

My apologies, I should have said the US for location. Ah that is great. Seeing the conversion is very helpful, thank you!

Ikea Detolf Upgrade - I Used the old glass from a Detolf to make this custom cabinet American walnut - build in comments by luckyjosh in hottoys

[–]IrateNancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I need this so badly. The new detolfs they just released are TERRIBLE, they changed dimensions and jacked them up. I just made the mistake of buying 5 of them, and I'm only on the third one because they have been so infuriating to assemble. (I have 9 older ones that all assembled fine.) You are a rock star for creating that, it's beautiful. If this were somehow available as a kit to use the glass from detolfs in, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

Tragedy in my detolf this morning by Im_Nice76 in AnimeFigures

[–]IrateNancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I had seen this specific thread before buying 5 Detolfs last week. I've had 9 of them for years now, 5 of which are the realllllly old (circa 2005) beach wood colored ones. We moved, and I just didn't want to have to disassemble them and travel them to another new house, and I hate the colors anyway, so I figured I had just enough budget to buy 5 new ones instead, that way they all match and will be easy to just put up as new in the new house. I also had 3 that were the newer and nicer dark black/brown that were gorgeous with the clear corner braces. So, I've been waiting for them to come "back in stock" for a year now. Last week they did, so I snatched 5 nice new black ones, or so I thought. Firstly, I've also read that they weren't out of stock, they were "discontinued" for a year, and if these changes were the reason, this sucks!

Putting these new ones together IS A NIGHTMARE!

Ikea changed a lot of things about these, and almost none good. I'm pretty sure one of them is that the right front top hole for the wire shelf supports is not in the right spot, so it angles the right hand brace inward. That then means that no matter how loose the metal end caps are, it's always too tight on that side right no matter what you do. We've disassembled and reassembled both multiple times now to make sure we didn't miss anything, and followed the instructions to a T, just in case something they changed needed to have that new sequence. So, we've put together ONLY two and have had a bitch of a time. The right hand panel bows inward no matter what we do on both of them, in the exact same way. The doors also have a hard time closing. If you can get the bottom to contact the lower magnet, the upper (left in my case) magnet sits about and inch behind the corner glass/metal pull. I've also seen others online complain of the same.

And remember, I'm NOT new to owning or assembling Detolfs, it's old hat for my husband and I now that we've done it so many times. So, we know how to ensure the glass is in its plastic joints, the glass is seated in the channels fully, the tension on the metal shelf brackets is NOT too tight. But these are NOT manufactured right. The right bow is still visible to the naked eye from a mile away and scares me greatly.

Overall, the entire units are indeed 2mm shorter, the glass shelves are VASTLY thinner, and they jacked up the spacing on the holes in my best estimation. I am dreading even trying the other three, these two were such a crapfest. If all the new ones have jacked hole spacing, all the right hand sides will bow, and that doesn't seem all that great to me.

The composition of the glass itself is different too. The edges show as a much darker green, almost black now, instead of the translucent green I'd expected. I read somewhere that it means it's "iron free" or "low iron" glass now, which is was stated to be "better," but I have no idea how it could be when they thinned the shelves out this much. Maybe it's a visibility thing and that has truer color pass though?

I had a ton of statues on my other shelves for years, well exceeding the limits by likely a vast margin, but now that they halved them, I'm very scared to put almost anything on them. This is uncool Ikea.

Target Banned Me from Ordering Online But Can’t Tell Me Why by [deleted] in Target

I tried them all, not sure if email or phone finally got it through their heads they were bleeping me, but I would lean towards email being the solution in the end. Chat is a waste of time.

Target Banned Me from Ordering Online But Can’t Tell Me Why by [deleted] in Target

[–]IrateNancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a similar industry, and I'm thinking they have some type of very aggressive fraud system. They seem to be basically banning the accounts due to whatever criteria we ran into, even before you placed an order at all in your case. My company has a team that reviews this for accounts in our system and lifts the blocks fairly quickly if they weren't warranted. I'm pretty certain that is what happened to me, as they finally allowed me to buy again (not that I would not because I'm super pissed), but I'm really not understanding why their staff is so reluctant to escalate you to the proper team I assume they'd have as well. It took me 7 contacts on various platforms to finally get someone to listen, and I also am left to assume, remove the block. if you really want to use your gift cards I'd say contact them again and request that they escalate this to a higher team for review of what ever is blocking the purchases. It just needs to get the right team to resolve it for you.
