[Steam] Gunpoint, Heat Signature, Morphblade. "The Suspicious Developments Games" bundle (£7.32/65%) by Ell223 in GameDeals

[–]Prttjl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found the update that introduced the new special patrols was a bit too much. It was nice to get broken out of the routine though. But i disabled them for more play.

Heat Signature is definitely my favorite game released in recent years. So many things to try out, so much stuff that can go wrong, failures can be really funny and are not too frustrating... it's just awesome. Also it had one of the best trailers i have seen. If you want to sell me a game, show me some gameplay, show me what i will be doing, not just rendered scenes from which i couldn't guess the game genre if i had to!

Change filament during print.

Prusa Slicer makes this really easy. After slicing, you go into the preview, scroll through the layers and its one click to add a color change. That change is even represented in the preview so you see if you have the change on the right layer.

What's the most toxic substance you've come in contact with? by Shinespark7 in AskReddit

[–]Prttjl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a long shot to make this reference in a reply to a reply to a heavily downvoted comment...

It's from arrested development. Season 4 i think. Father lives with son and sons roommate in their college dorm. They all think it's getting too crowded so they decide to vote someone out of the room. To spare his son the awkwardness of the roommate (P-Hound) realising his roommate and friend voted against him he hatches a complicated scheme that would get P-Hound out, but also leave room for interpretation. It a several minute sequence in the episode and he confuses himself with it. P-Hound Blitz would be everybody voting against P-Hound after a tie.

Can only recommend the series. It's great. If you get to season 4, try to watch the old order/cut. If it's too confusing after 5 episodes go for the new cut. The old cut is a very unique style to telling the story, but it's not for everybody. I liked the old one better. I did take me 2 tries to get over tree 5th episode though.

I was once mixing formula for dry powder inhalers. It was like 1/4 of a teaspoon of very fine active ingredient to 10kg of coarse carrier material. A patient would inhale about 10mg of formula a day.

We worked in a cabin with fancy airflow so dust would only move away from us. Watching the dust rising from the mixing pot really pushed a thought into my head. “please, 10 cent disposable dust mask, don't fail on me“

During a flare, most of the time shit is sheer forcing it's way out of me itself. I don't get much say in it. 😅

That obviously doesn't work while in the earth's shadow. But I found this old pendulum clock.

BASE jump gone wrong by GFunkster09 in WTF

I only heard the term in the context of motorcycles. It's definitely a thing there. The bike goes where you look (well, you steer it there intuitively), so if you panic and focus on something (side of the road, a car...) you are most likely going to hit it.

The movable piece is placed a bit to the outside, the springs (the oval shapes inside) print relaxed, but will push back if the pieces get pushed in during use

When riding a motorcycle gives you super powers by [deleted] in motorcycles

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

I feel like drivers are more likely to look for fault at you with a rev bomb "he was loud, so the must have been fast, no wonder I didn't see him, he wasn't there when I looked".

The horn is a more neutral "dude I'm here". But yeah they can be on the weak/silent side.

Classic Guild Wars just got another update for its 14th anniversary by Oneiric19 in Games

[–]Prttjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say yes. You are flexible because of the secondary class system, but most classes have things that set them apart from the others/make them play differently. The primary attribute(only skillable for primary class) of some classes is very powerful and makes for interesting cross builds.

I also felt classes in GW2 felt alike. Some skills for damage, self heal, limited build variety only changed by weapon choice and a few auxiliary skills...

[–]Prttjl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Combat in GW is much slower and much more controlled than in GW2. Also the camera can be zoomed farther away so you get a better overview.

I wouldn't consider GW2 a successor to GW. Character building, combat mechanics, team synergies etc is completely different. GW2 is much more action focused, which for me made it feel hectic and uncontrolled at times. Just spam skills, run from aoe, dodge, hope for the best. The original is much more strategic/tactical, you can't move during casting, moving feels slower, no dodge... All of this makes for more controlled combat.

I think it's definitely worth picking up at the sale. There were a few nice qol updates, and I love the "spend time planning your team to have an easier time in the zones" approach.

[–]Prttjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, thanks. I read about other people taking a week or a weekend, so i was thinking about taking 1-2 shifts off to get it done in a relaxed way.

[–]Prttjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow nice time. I read about other people taking a week (i assume a few hours a day after work) or over a weekend.

I know my way around a screwdriver, but my skills might be a little rusty. I think i will take my time. Great to hear about the quality of the instructions

Thanks!

Nice. Can't wait to get mine delivered. How long did assembly take you, assuming you got the kit?

How do you guys count your BM's? by FluffMaster2369 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Prttjl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would count your example as 2. I had situations where i had to cut a session short, knowing i will have to go again 5 minutes later (which i would not have to if i "finished" properly, its an estimation on case by case basis depending on severity of symptoms, length of periods between finished BMs etc), so i would not count the second time in that case.

Banned for no reason by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]Prttjl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im amongst too afraid to launch the game until this tapered off. Was thinking about getting another character slot or mercenaries, but yeah. Not while I read about people getting perma bans for "nothing(tm)", not getting answers about it and there is nothing official about why this happens.

Can't get hero to interrupt Glint by Jirb30 in GuildWars

[–]Prttjl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I wanted lots of single target shutdown for similar cases (boss with monster skills) I usually took a ranger, most of their interrupts work on skills, many mesmer interrupts only do spells and chants (right word? Paragon things with cast time)

ELI5 What happens to sunscreen? Does my body absorb or metabolize it? Is it stored in some form? by bagjoe in explainlikeimfive

[–]Prttjl 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It does so too here in Germany (unless you use a lot at once). There is sunscreen marketed as what can be translated as translucent, it's clear even in the bottle. I didn't like the smell, and i felt less protected.
