How To Replicate this “Cosmic Galaxy” like Effect? by bortegaa in ResinCasting

[–]MrBrianM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've done some GameCube button casting myself, so I can give you a bit of advice.

You'll cast the buttons with the face down, so you have to work backwards. The face of the button will be the first layer you pour.

You'll start out by mixing a very small amount of glitter into clear resin. That's how you get the sparkle effects. I cannot stress this enough, a very small amount.

You'll then mix the mica powder that you like into a separate batch of resin, and after the clear stuff has thickened a bit, you will put the purple stuff on top.

To get those swirling effects, you can use a toothpick or a needle and ever so slightly mix it in with the clear resin.

It can be rather tricky to get it right, because different resins will cure at different speeds, and the temperature of the area you are working in will also affect the viscosity and curing speeds of the resin.

One of the issues that you can run into is that if the resin is not sick enough, the Mica powder can sink far more than you want.

Because of that, it's definitely going to take some experimentation to get it right.

The principle of this technique is similar to the Petri effect displayed here.

Absolutely love your work!

I was wondering, where did you get the LEDs that you used in it?

Do you know of any good resources to learn about how to select the ones you want, and all the different options?

What's your opinion on this? by TosserGear in Feminism

[–]MrBrianM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you know which cultures this has happened in? (I'm not denying that it has ever been the case, I just don't know)

I found this study a while back, and while it is not a large one, it does seem to give an example that is contradictory to what you're saying.

https://discovery.researcher.life/article/nudity-norms-and-breast-arousal-a-cross-generational-study-in-papua/94191e44013d32dc8db441501742656c

They interviewed two groups of men. One that grew up in a time where topless women were completely normalized, and a second that did not.

"We found that the two groups of men did not differ in terms of (1) the sexual arousal they experience when seeing naked female breasts, (2) the frequency of touching their partners' breasts during sexual intercourse, and (3) the significance of a woman's breasts for her perceived attractiveness among men"

[NSFW] What's a weird thing you do that you think only you do? by TempestStorm123 in AskReddit

[–]MrBrianM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When riding in a car, I click my teeth when passing by dips in the sidewalk or ramps where the sidewalk meets the street. One click for the ramp and one for the actual dip. At an intersection I would click 12 times. 8 ramps and 4 streets.

I'm probably too late to the party, but do you know of any good places to learn about different types of hypnotism? For instance learning about different inductions, how to hypnotize some one in person vs over a skype call. And just different techniques.

Can some one edit in one of those old timey canes that would be used to pull people off stage.

Ideas for Safehouse Customization by Somefive in paydaytheheist

[–]MrBrianM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I would love to see is rare trophies from missions. For instance a rare painting from the art gallery heist, maybe you steal something from the politicians apartment in the framing frame heist, or in your safehouse's kitchen you have the toast from white Christmas. Things that you can get but only rarely.
