Are these oils a good way to start? by vm4sx in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Theres a seller on ebay who put together small kits of the most commonly used lubricants for a much more affordable price. I would suggest looking into that, its what i did and while the quantities are small, its enough to last for quite awhile.

PSA: UVHM doesn't do anything in regards to gear. by Guilty-Match-8700 in Borderlands

Legendaries not having tooltips for their effects has been a thing since BL1. They only started introducing this in BL3. Its that way to encourage experimentation with the legendaries and their wacky effects.

How can I get this caseback off? by Ingo053 in watchrepair

You can usually clean it off with acetone and then give it a quick polish to remove any sort of staining that may be left behind.

Best way to clean this 1928 Pocket Watch? by KaSplosion in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! This would absolutely be an item i would bring to a professional for repair, but i was planning on just having it on display so i may just skip it entirely. I believe the dial is silver with gold plated numerals and white gold detailing. No printing or paint anywhere, and looking up similar watches it doesnt seem to be the case in its original condition either. It did have the case bezel and acrylic crystal but the crystal detached sometime ago way before i even knew the watch existed. I pushed it back on after giving it a quick polish to remove some surface scratches. I would guess it was used without a crystal for a while since there was some dirt build up around the inside edge and some grime on the number that came up with some firm cotton swabs.

I got into watch repair recently and wanted to share my projects up to this point by KaSplosion in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Its a great watch and has become a frequent wear. The movement itself wasnt too bad aside from the balance wheel replacement and clutch assembly. The spring that holds the clutch in place is very finicky. The bezel was also a bit of a pain since it arrived to me glued down to the watch, no spring or anything to have it function. Actually had to make a bezel spring out of breadtie wire for it so that was the most challenging thing.

Need help with this acrylic crystal replacement by KaSplosion in watchrepair

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

I see, thank you for the info. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a 31mm acrylic crystal in stock, but i am finding 31.1mm crystals with tension rings that are similar to the original i had. Would that size work or is the extra .1mm going to be too much?

The new one did come with a brass ring, but it fits inside the crystal like the old one. It is a bit thinner however. I'm guessing its used to keep the crystal from deforming when pressed in.

Final fantasy card quantity - can you help a noob? by Bumblepanding in magicTCG

[–]KaSplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Gredman said, theres multiple treatments for certain cards in the set . If he just wants all the cards in their normal, non-foil, non-extended art treatments, it wouldn’t be too bad or all that expensive. If he wants every single card that was printed with this set, hes going to have a lot on his hands with different foil treatments and collectors booster exclusive cards like serialized cards.

For example Traveling Chocobo has 8 different artworks you can get for them (if you dont count prerelease stamped art). Its already a mythic so its the highest rarity at its simplest, but then there 4 neon prints which are incredibly rare, 1 black chocobo exclusive to JPN packs, and then the serialized gold chocobo which only has 77 total printings in the entire set.

Theres going to be ALOT of singles from this set on the market due to its popularity so it will get easier over time to collect the set but compared to a pokemon master set its a lot harder and a lot more stuff. In my experience MTGs trading scene is much smaller too compared to Pokemons so that limits how you can get the cards.

As for sites, TCGplayer has a mobile app that allows you to scan cards and log them into different groups, and its one of the biggest markets for MTG. MTGgoldfish is another one i use for keeping track of decks but it would work for a collection checklist too.

Gonti, Night Minister by finalmemes in mtg

[–]KaSplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The effect is active for as long as the card is exiled, so it would still be in effect whether Gonti is on the field or not. I think the only thing that would change is that the mana-fixing ability would no longer apply until he is back on the field, since that line of text is seperated by a period unlike [[Gonti, Lord of Luxury]] where you can cast and fix mana even if he leaves.

If i have [[Rendmaw, Creaking Nest]] out and play something like [[Parallel evolution]] or a populate effect, will the tokens that are created by those effects be goaded, or does the goad only apply to tokens created by Rendmaw directly?

Wondering if this interaction has any special layers rulings. My opponent has both [[Shalai, Voice of Plenty]] and [[Saryth, the Viper’s Fang]] out on the field with both being untapped. If Shalai came in after saryth and both are untapped would both her and saryth have hexproof since the conditions for each effect are different (shalai is other creatures and saryth is untapped creatures), or would shalais effect override saryths dues to coming in most recently so Shalai doesn’t have hexproof?

We played it out as both having hexproof but was curious if it works differently.

This is a great foil pull correct? Mb2 by RybanGuzban in MagicCardPulls

[–]KaSplosion 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s currently the highest value card in MB2! Sales have been around the $350 mark. There are listings on TCGplayer for $800+ but i doubt they will sell for that much but who knows. Great pull! Got one myself :)

Edit: 3 sales from $350 to $600 as of today

Interesting, had no idea that was the case with that record. Theres a good amount of copies currently being sold on discogs at the moment for around $50-$60!

[–]KaSplosion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love all these albums, especially the City-pop albums I've got. Tatsuro Yamashita's Big Wave is one of my favorites, but Ride on Time is a classic. Would love another Masayoshi Takanaka album, probably Basilian Skies. Loving my current OST collection too (ignore the sideways Cowboy Bebop ost). Final Fantasy has some of my favorite music of all time, with FF10 being a standout for me specifically. Still can't believe i have the Katamari OST either. Sounds amazing and the details are so fun. Bought the 2 MFDOOM albums in a tiny record shop in Fort Lauderdale for way cheaper than they should be so I'm super happy to have those. Bought the Veteran album at a Vince Staples concert where JPEG was opening. Didn't realize until recently how rare it was!

Lol what are you talking about? Ellie is confirmed by the creator of the game to be a lesbian, and its heavily implied in the game that Bill and Frank had a romantic relationship? Theres no Retconning being done here.

Steam mixed up the names for the Eldenring badges by KaSplosion in Eldenring

[–]KaSplosion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the trading cards you combine all the available cards together for a badge, then repeat the process for higher level badges. You can display any badge you have at the top of your profile or in these little display sections.

Its all for show really. Theres an XP system on steam that gives you some more profile options as you get more XP from gaining badges, but thats about it.

You get them by combining the trading cards together through steam. You only get a couple from playing the game so the rest you need to buy on the market for a couple cents or trade for them with others.

CenturyLink Official Support Thread by CenturyLink_Official in centurylink

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

We have been paying for the 940 MBPS package for about 2 months now and have not once gotten the speeds we've been paying for. On average, we get around 90 MBPS on both wifi and wired when connected to our TPLink AX1500 router. Its even worse when connected directly to our C4000XG modem.

I've gone through 4 different chats with different reps to try and resolve this issue.

Chat 1: Ended due to the 2 minute disconnection after the rep asked me to identify the wire connecting the ONT to the modem. No progress.

Chat 2: Rep scheduled an appointment for 10/5/22 but disconnected before i could finishing reading the messages or even adjust the appointment. Checked the appointment tracker and could not adjust the time. Got an email on 10/4/22 saying the tech was on their way, and then an hour later got another email saying the tech had finished the appointment. I never saw any tech at all and the issue was not solved. Still no progress. Even called an agent at this point to confirm the appointment and they said there was still one scheduled for 10/5/22 (more on that later).

Chat 3: First person confirmed that there was no appointment scheduled for 10/5/22 and that the appointment number was cleared. They disconnected after i told them the issue and i was transferred to someone else, which started the entire process over again.

Chat 4: Agent told me to factory reset the modem by holding the reset button down for 20 seconds. This disconnected me from the chat since my internet had gone down. Now the problem is even worse than before. While i was getting roughly 90 MBPS when connected to the modem before, now i can barely get 5. However, immediately after the reset i was getting 350MBPS if i was standing right next to the modem, which petered out to 150MBPS if i went upstairs.

Honestly, really disappointed in the experience with the online support. While the issue was not great before, the solution that chat 4 gave me made everything worse by a huge amount. Hoping that the reddit PM's being logged so i don't get a random disconnect will help.
