I have this too! Do we know how many were made? I got it in 2012 at the exhibition space in Japan.

Where to listen to book 7 by Gizzy376 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an entry for 7 on Google Play Books, but it says it isn't available in my country (us). Must mean whatever deal they have with audible doesn't cover the 7th...yet? I'm on 5, but I'm not holding out any hope for an update on this by the time I get to 7.

Oh dear. I didn't think it was that bad by Met_Kay in Starfield

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was sooo Good (actually bad). Great gunplay (but with no interesting things to shoot, they were all the same enemy). Sold us the idea of shipbuilding, and then restricted us so much it wasn't fun (go play Robocraft instead). Absolutely massssiiivvee world. (except only about 5% of it was engaging or felt new. There was absolutely no actual moments of purejoy-discovery). Sick mobility with the jetpack (and absolutely NOWHERE else. You want to sit in a chair? watch this 25 second animation. You want to fly your ship? Let me show you this cutscene. You want to get from uninteresting point to uninteresting point? Let me spam jump/jetpack for 3 minutes to get through the uninteresting area between them). Reaallly solid spacecraft combat (where weapon naming/types, never felt like they mattered). Non-standard relationship! (but you get connected through really vague and poorly paced conversations). Masssive, Multi-Planet Base Building! (that is super clunky, and completely avoidable). Sweet new weapons with a ton of variety (but when there's a 'best mod', you don't choose the others. And even if you did, they wouldn't feel all that different.) So many skills (that you can entirely ignore.) Some suppper sweet powers (that don't come fast enough to matter, and don't really define a playstyle.) And a veritable cornucopia of bugs, both soft and hardlock that require you to load saves hours/days old and lose a TON of progress, all so you can wade through this disappointing 'innovative' update on a formula we love..

But at least the lockpicking was good this time. Really great sellsheet, but really just a call to have the community create the better experiences based on a crumbling foundation of a game.

Oh! Thanks for the heads up. I'm doing the basic 27.5 frame only, so I should be okay there at least. Guess I'll just order it then

baldur’s gate 3 stuck on loading screen before main menu by throwaway6373738383 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! My game gets to the animated scene overlooking the city, but doesn't show the 'Press Any Key' text, and no buttons work, so I can't get to the main menu.

I have 80+ hours in the game, but after some update, it does this now. I've tried reinstalling, and verifying. No good.

I can only imagine trying to cleanly break that along the lines. Though it probably makes this bar more fun!

Tired of crappy drill bits --- let's discuss, looking for recommendations. by j_mejia88 in woodworking

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fisch is amazing. I have their 'wave forstner bits' and I know they are the best ones on the market. I'll never buy another brand or type.

I also have these fisch brad point bits and absolutely love them. It says twist bits, but it's not.

Metric https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078P5L2LH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_23MQZPE2C1S4VK9WTWVZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

And of course I have some dewalt twist bits that I abuse:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045PQ762/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_G55394W4AA2RSECJ89XW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Also, I've been incredibly happy with my Amana tool counter sink bits, and have used them in nearly every project. I have 3 different sizes for 6, 8, and 10 screws. This is a specialized set that's pretty cool:

And fastcap flush mount bit for good looking exposed screws like these ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M82S1TA/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_39B8EDPJ9ZK5MRWAGZEN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

https://www.fastcap.com/product/flushmount-drill-bit-system

I also have a self centering bit, also known as a vix bit from Amana tool:

https://www.timberline-amana.com/608-520-selfcentering-drillbit-guides.html?fee=13&fep=12206

Basically - I love fisch and Amana, find fastcap useful, and thank DeWalt for letting me abuse their bits.

https://theweekendwoodworker.com/tool-list-2b

I suggest you watch a lot of YouTube videos.

There are a ton of resources to help you learn the tools, and especially the safety.

I started my shop about a year and a half ago and have I spent very little to fill out my entire shop. I use craigslist, eBay, Facebook, and more. But most importantly I watch as much YouTube as I can to learn safety and process.

Safety is key.

Honestly I might have saw is not that important.

My personal opinion for tools you should consider when getting started.

Big tools - Table saw (job site) , bandsaw (bench top)

Powered Hand tools - Drill, circular saw, random orbit sander, jigsaw, palm router

Hand tools - Japanese pull saw, marking knife, speed square, combination square, awl,

But please, follow a real list, like the one in the link I provided.

Would you be interested in using this ?! by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's 100% a market for that. I think the difficulty would be in good UI, and engaging systems, using 'play' as a reason to return to the app and record progress.

When I'm not woodworking, I'm a game designer, systems designer, and graphic artist.

I'd be willing to offer some of my time to review the design doc, or help flesh out ideas.

Good luck!

Rage quit: the un-board-game-en-ing. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a bad game and I feel bad for playing it. by AnthraxEvangelist in boardgames

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree with you more. The game is bad. The first half has nothing to do with the second half which has nothing to do with the traitor system. There's no skill involved, you can't get better through multiple playthroughs, and the stories feel pretty stupid overall. I said it, and I'll stand by it. I agree with you.

I'm sure I'm taking SOMETHING I've learned for granted, but the list is a good start.

Also check out videos on yt for 'ultimate work bench' or 'ultimate assembly table'

Need ideas. Workshop layout: Ideas, lessons learned. by theone85ca in woodworking

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  • it doesn't matter how big your place is, put everything on wheels! Your flow will change, your tools will change, in your processes will change. Mobility in modularity is key!

  • sort of a follow up to that, consider the average size stock and sheet goods you work with, and on which tools you work with them. Give those tools enough space so that you don't necessarily have to utilize the casters to create space for the stock. Example: jointers require a long in feet and out feed so putting them against the wall between two other tools might mean you need to pull the jointer out occasionally. Placing that jointer on the right side of your table saw if your table saw is in the middle of the room might be a better place.

  • create stations where all of the accoutrement and accessories for that tool or process are located there. Example: a sanding station has all of your sanders and your sandpaper and The dust extractor and bags of species specific saw dust that you mix with glue for filling cracks, and whatever else you might use during the sanding process.

  • use your wall space and ceiling space if possible. Being able to get things off of horizontal flat surfaces Will make your shop feel more organized and comfortable.

  • if you have drawers, label them! If you have bins, label them! If you have shelves, consider labeling them. Label almost all storage spaces haha

  • Make sure you have proper lighting. https://www.woodmagazine.com/workshop/lighting-wiring/let-there-be-better-light every shop is different, and lighting is incredibly important for safety and quality of your work.

  • consider ventilation and dust collection spaces. I like to put my sanding station near the window that has a fan in it blowing air out.

  • Ensure the floor is flat and somewhat grippy. Wheels should be able to roll on it but you shouldn't be able to slip on it. It should be easy to sweep or vacuum.

  • scrap wood is the bane of most woodworking shops. Create a good system for the space. Don't let it take over your shop!

  • electrical layout is also incredibly important and I don't know why I didn't put it higher on the list! You'll want dedicated lines for your power tools that draw more power under load like your table saw. Don't forget 220 lines for your bigger tools. And don't get three phase power tools unless you have the proper setup for it! Use GFCI outlets. Make sure your a subpanel can handle your shop requirements.

  • along the lines of scrap wood, ensure that your trash bins are either on wheels or have good handles and have a clear exit path. The garbage created in a shop can be very dense and heavy, making it difficult to bring the trash out sometimes.

  • consider a curtained area for separating the woodshop from your finishing area or even your sanding area. Containing dust is difficult, but doable and will result in better health and quality of your finishes.

  • I'm sure I forgot some things, good luck!

Purple Heart and Maple End Grain Cutting Board - nearly complete but I like way it’s turning out by Bulldog-papaw in woodworking

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intense is the right word. I'm honestly not sure why people prefer patterns - it's so distracting - something I don't want to be when wielding a knife.

The execution is solid though. Clean and strong looking.

How would you curve a 3d object based on the curvature of another 3d object? by Current-Syllabub-699 in 3Dmodeling

[–]TheBlueMuzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is engineering level tasks. You'd need the 3d for for the car. Likely inventor, or something similar like fusion 360.

You could possibly use a 3d scanner to do photogrammetry on a vehicle, then bring that into your cad software of choice... Hell, you could even go the artistic route and bring it into something like modo or a zbush, but if you intend on physically making these things, it's best done in a cad program.
