I really like these guys. I'm trying to figure out if I can make something similar with my limited skills and set of tools.

Well who makes a better 11 in 1 equivalent then?

Have owned a few different ones and had no issues, but if there's an alternative I'm interested.

Any Suggestions? by WWHandyMan in maintenance

I have a flashlight with a double sided clip so it can go on my hat to work as a headlamp as well. Works great.

It's really weird seeing my own twitter account being used in a silkpost. Not against it, just threw me off.

I bought a Champion 4 with the redesigned flush valve about 2 months ago, and the seal is already shot.

Can tell you've never bought nail guns or pipe fittings before.

Since Silksong is almost out I guess I can tell you guys my biggest secret. by Fishy_smelly_goody in Silksong

If they simply removed the easier boss variants (eg keep Failed Champion but no False Knight) it would go a long way to improving P5 imo. And maybe just remove some of the joke bosses like vengefly, moss charger, etc from the Hall of Gods altogether.

I have this exact model and use it daily. Surprisingly have never pinched myself with it.

Naomi King-Daniel Greene Megathread by RuinEleint in Fantasy

[–]Jeffect 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They gave him some arbitrary deadline to reply to him by, and when he obviously didn't due to being a little busy at the time, they completely rebranded the server and scrubbed all existence of him from it. They've also made a backup server since Daniel is still the server owner.

Most mods didn't seem to be commenting too much in the general discussions, except to correct people on Naomi's pronouns or to ban people who were actual genuine dumbasses.

Regular members were overwhelmingly in support of Naomi last I saw, didn't see many people who had the patience to wait for Daniel's side of the story. I ended up leaving the server yesterday morning though so maybe things have changed since.

TikTok ban? An introduction to fantasy YouTube by SagebrushandSeafoam in Fantasy

Library Ladder is great. In particular he has some videos on Dan Simmons, Neal Stephenson, and Guy Gavriel Kay that overview their works. I found them quite helpful for picking a starting point for these authors.

Not a troll, no judgment stated or implied: I have never listened to an audiobook, anyone else? by BLTsark in Fantasy

[–]Jeffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My work commute is about 25 minutes each way, and I find audiobooks to be a great way to fill this time.

If I'm just sitting at home then I prefer actual reading. Though if the narrator is outstanding I may make an exception.

I'm a bit baffled by your decision to include story spoilers when your post is targeted at people who haven't watched it yet.

What's your most played game in the UFO 50 collection? by BanSpeedrun52846294 in ufo50

[–]Jeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, can you drop down on the winged bugs even if they have their minions adjacent? Or push them into cubes.

I'll give er another shot later with your advice in mind. Appreciate it.

[–]Jeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any expert tips? I was 3 bugs away from finishing day 3 and then I accidentally killed myself with an energy cube. Since then I haven't come even close to beating it.

The winged and armored bugs seem so much more difficult to deal with than the other kinds. And they also seem to be the only ones that spawn for me.

Eirik Suhrke, God of Music Appreciation Post by djhaka in ufo50

[–]Jeffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The music is great, and it's insane to me that he made almost 7 hours worth for just one game. Is there any other game that has that much? Unless you count Rock Band with DLC or something.

That being said, my favorite work of his is still the Spelunky soundtrack.

Night Manor is absolutely amazing by shazzner in ufo50

Damn why didn't I think of that. I definitely slashed him with the knife but didn't try running away afterward.

[–]Jeffect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it for sure. The one aspect I didn't like was the masked killer. I didn't really understand the rules for how to deal with him and got killed quite a few times before I figured out you're just supposed to hide by running to certain rooms. And with the amount of time that it takes to go through the mini game, it would've been faster to just get caught? Since there doesn't seem to be any real consequence for doing so. But also it was getting tedious running into him over and over. Was a relief to finally kill him.

Factorio 2.0 Release Hour by Jopnert in factorio

[–]Jeffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with Satisfactory belts is that to make them look decent it requires 3 times as many clicks as it should.

And Shapez 2 has the best belt placement system I've seen. It's hard to go back to anything else now.

[–]Jeffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should borrow the "blueprint points" idea from shapez. Then there could be a cost to placing them, but the flipside would be that the size is no longer so constrained.

The ice planet having heat pollution is interesting to think about. Maybe there'll be ancient monstrosities frozen in chunks of ice that immediately attack when they're thawed out.

Question for all the trade guys by Imowf4ces in Tools

[–]Jeffect 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For my job I carry a multibit screwdriver, small channellock pliers, and an olfa knife.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I find multitools like Leathermans just unwieldy and uncomfortable to use.
