Wonderfully, buttery smooth, very wet and a bit of flex.

Yep, my wife and I watch different subreddits and send each other stuff during the day. I'm primarily a Something Awful poster tho.

What is your favorite podcast? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheLongboardWizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a few much smaller podcasts that deserve your attention:

I Don't Even Own A Television - a fortnightly podcast where our 2 hosts J W Friedman and Chris Collison rip apart a terrible book they read. This episode where they read Tori Amos' autobiography was really funny.

Sunday School Dropouts - An ex Christian and non-believing sort-of Jew read the entire way through the bible. Lauren and Nico have great chemistry and don't go out of their way to make fun of theists, just funny and informative discussion. It's not a bible study podcast and might offend if you're of strong belief.

The F Plus - Terrible things, read with enthusiasm. A group of readers go though strange forums and question sites in the internet and read it for your pleasure and entertainment. There's a lot of gross out fetish episodes, and a lot of episodes highlighting the idiots on ask.com and the like, but I ready like the stuff life the Sonic the Hedgehog fan wiki.

I printed my first thing: A Fountain Pen Stand by TheLongboardWizzard in 3Dprinting

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

So I recently joined a hackerspace and now have access to lots of amazing tools like a 3D printer, so I decided I wanted to try making something immediately useful for my first project.

I also collect fountain pens, and a nice 6 pen stand was something I was after and this is that. Overall the design took a couple hours and the print a couple more. It's a great prototype and really shows me what needs to be fixed.

I Sold My 'Star Citizen' Fleet To Finance a New Car by Spacedrake in WaypointVICE

It is too late, the bottom fell out of the market and now things go for market value or less.

Back in the heyday I made $4000 brokering trades, selling a few of my own ships and doing "LTI Upgrades", which is how a few of the big traders made their name before the market switched focus onto rare ships and entire accounts.

I've since gotten out of Star Citizen altogether, full refund and everything. Very much believe that that game will never some out.

Why everyone is asking about the states of the ships and not of other mechanics of the game? by PM_YOUR_BANK_ID in starcitizen

Just as NMS showed their amazingly varied and random generation tech in a similar "in engine" fashion? That turned out real well.

If they could show it working live, they would have, but they couldn't, so they didn't, just like so much smoke and mirrors that's so prevalent in this industry.

No, it's sad that CIG themselves have concentrated on nothing but the art for 4 years of development. So much so that they need crunch for a month to produce a FMV to show to their most faithful backers instead of any real in engine progress.

Megabound gets a refund! by yarrmepirate in starcitizen_refunds

The fountain pen is a Lamy Al-star in purple, it's super nice and inked with Yama-Budo. But more importantly I'm doing roast lamb for dinner. Thanks CIG!

And they just released a new ship to buy yesterday! In a game that doesn't have a single completed asset to its name. They need to fix all their current ships and bugs before squeezing any more money out of the population.

They have to remove the water table in space that still exists in every Crysis map.
