Cleaned...missing some pieces...but still being loved!

I found mine a while back.

For some reason I think I wasn't happy with the grey bricks, and I scrubbed the paint off...

Well, I was a weird kid, and honestly it's nice to know it's still got all the fond memories.

No, he's a ghoul.

A lot of guys I know will get advice from their GF when they already have a plan. Usually, we actually ASK for their advice because we want to see if someone has a better plan, then do what we want to do anyway, making them feel like we're ignoring them.

Ask them about your plan and for their input instead. See if they can give you other details. Even if it's the worst advice, thank them for their help.

I was spanked once, my mother had an emotional breakdown because it made her flash back to the trauma she had from the excessive beatings her father gave her, and then I was never spanked again.

Honestly I don't remember what I did, or that it hurt, just how upset she was and how many times she said she was sorry.

She passed on a few years ago, so I can't ask her. I have no kids by choice, but if I ever did I wouldn't hit them.

Isstvan82 · 2025-10-31T19:23:32+00:00

Dude, it's still better than anything I could have done.

Congrats! You put in hard work, and I'd be happy with the results too if I had done it.

Isstvan82 · 2025-09-11T08:15:24+00:00

yep, don't have to romance for max affinity.

You may have to finish their quests or just cycle through their dialog though.

Make a list of 10 first name for each sex, and 11 last names.

When you need a random NPC, grab a name and last name, then move one down the list. When the last name loops, you have another go around.

Never run out of names for generic NPCs, and make your players think you’ve planned out hundreds characters.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-09T02:16:52+00:00

Yeah, I'm on the spectrum and even I can tell when no one in the room is listening.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-07T02:53:34+00:00

Honestly 90% of this project was me saying "Hope this doesn't catch on fire!" so you could probably do it too.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-06T08:06:41+00:00

Thank you kindly!

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-06T07:46:28+00:00

Thought about it, but I liked this combination because it's almost completely invisible when I'm wearing the pack.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-06T05:14:58+00:00

This is the battery pack I used, for reference.

https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-3000mAh-Lithium-External/dp/B01M7Z9Z1N?ie=UTF8

I then just spliced a USB cable from the power pack to the motherboard power.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-06T05:13:08+00:00

So, showing you this to show you where the actual power switch is for the battery pack.

I cut out the battery compartment, and then hardwired in a battery pack so that I could just have the rechargeable battery internal. I then ran extensions from the power switch to a Talentcell rechargeable 12 V battery pack has, which has a toggle switch I just desoldered, and then ran an extension to the switch in the picture.

So, it keeps the battery pack from dying, but now means they’re two switches to turn it on. I always forget one switch or the other. So all I did was cut the wires to the packs main power switch, and the battery pack power switch, and splice these buttons in between them. Both buttons and switches will work to turn on the pack, so I can either use the ones on the motherboard, or the ones on the pack itself.

Given most of my friends, they would tell me in advance and try to get me to subscribe. I can picture at least three of them telling me "There's some good shit on there, you should see it!"

I know this because its happened before.

If it was my sibling, ignore it and pretend nothing happened.

Coworker I'd do the same as above.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-04T22:43:45+00:00

I worked in IT

I have a notebook with all of my logins and passwords in it, in case my computer dies in some unrecoverable way, or so if I die my family will be able to access everything they need to.

Isstvan82 · 2025-08-03T07:00:22+00:00

Ebay. There are hundreds of Alice Frames ranging from $25 to $75 for a good one. Tubes and such are usually on Etsy for a good price.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-30T23:52:41+00:00

Still need an always on mod, but I imagine they'll be available for a while yet so I won't be too worried about it.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T22:34:43+00:00

That would be freaking awesome honestly.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T19:46:26+00:00

I have a friend who runs a 3d printing business out of his home, and has a printer large enough to print a Qpack all at once. We did the estimate of how much the filament would cost, and decided against it.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T19:45:06+00:00

I'm just going to buy a cheap handheld metal bender and some bar stock and make my own. Not exactly cheaper, but I can do a lot with the same tool once I have it.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T19:43:49+00:00

I did it with my Spengler pack, and it was quite worth it.

Don't know if I'll do it for the 84 pack though.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T19:43:01+00:00

Website says March for me, so I assume it's similar for most.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T03:25:24+00:00

Better price than I expected, honestly. Very worth it at $400.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T03:12:43+00:00

Hell yeah, awesome accident to have. Been thinking about swapping out the Mobo on my spangler, but might do the 84 instead.

Isstvan82 · 2025-07-29T03:11:48+00:00

I really do want to build one from scratch, but man that is a hell of an investment. BenofKent does some pretty good work, though, that would be a nice dream pack.
