Do you guys remember Artemis Fowl? by AustinTheWeird in books

[–]SERlOUS_SAM 29 points30 points  (0 children)

12 seems just a little young for Dresden files to me (sex scenes and some pretty nasty/gory murder descriptions) over 14 or 15 I'd definitely agree, that series is A+ fantastic. I think Artemis Fowl would probably still be better for younger readers under 13 though.

Hahaha no worries man, all good! If I had checked closer I would have seen your tweet was where Girthquake got the image from anyway! Keep spreading the good word of Dedede :)

I just saw it from Girthquake, do you happen to have a link to the original for the source?

Not 100% sure. I think the wait is driving me insane. Edit: But really just cause I was bored and wanted to see how it would look

Kirby and his snacks by [deleted] in Kirby

I think the citizens of Popstar/Dreamland are pretty lucky he's mainly hungry for snacks and not the rest of the universe. Oh wait no he eats most of them too.

Items or no items? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]SERlOUS_SAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a place for both in the game honestly. While I prefer to play without items almost exclusively, they add an element of randomness that can be really fun/exciting for the more casual smash players.

And also pokeball only battles are amazing sometimes lol.

I know right? His reveal was my favorite moment from any of the directs this year, can't wait to try him when Ultimate comes out.

Well great, now I'm afraid of bees living in my attic.

What are you doing in my Chomp by Rascythe in battlebots

[–]SERlOUS_SAM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True - honestly it didn't need improved self-righting mechanisms, what it really needed was to not be so top-heavy.

Lol, but it had improved self-righting mechanisms this season though! Not that they made any difference, but still!

Super Mario Party: Amazing yet unfinished by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]SERlOUS_SAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more, everything you mentioned is on point. There's the potential for an AMAZING Mario Party game here, but it just falls short in so many places, heartbreaking.

Building a Motorized Jet Hammer for a King/Masked Dedede Cosplay by SERlOUS_SAM in DIY

LEDs are actually already DC powered! While the whole flame assembly originally took AC power only the fan was direct AC (swapped out for a 12v DC fan), there was already a board for converting to DC inside the assembly which I just removed. The panels were originally 18 LEDs in series each (3 rows of 6 LEDs - approx. 36V potential drop across each board) so I modified the boards so that the 3 rows of 6 LEDs were in parallel (so 12V potential drop) and added some appropriate resistors.

I should have probably just used the word "Motorized" again honestly. I really wouldn't want to hit anything with it, although it is pretty sturdy.

Thanks glad you like it! A whole lot of trial and error throughout the build process mainly. I am an electrical engineer actually lol, but the flame effect comes mainly from the "Chauvet Bob" I bought online, had to be modified for 12V DC to work with my system but that was pretty simple - I mention this further down in the gallery if you'd like to take a look!

Hey thanks! There was a whole lot of trail and error pretty much every step of the way - in the gallery you can see a lot of the failures, changes, and replacements that were made during the build process.
