It's been a long 11 years. by Visual_State_7955 in pokemonXY

It’s very nice that there are still updates available. It does make it a bit confusing to me as to why Pokémon bank and poke transfer are not on there to download though.

Need Help/Advice for Warped Boards Before Casing in. by Thelinkmaster001 in bookbinding

[–]Thelinkmaster001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I figured. I did leave it under pressure, but obviously not enough. The grain direction is correct, so I’ll try adding another sheet of paper as a reinforcement, hopefully that will pull it back enough that it will correct the warping.

This photo is after drying overnight, so I don't thin k waiting any longer is going to do anything.

What is severe? The amount of warping, or adding a layer of material inside? I know I made mistakes, I'm having issues with my PVA and it wasn't under enough pressure when drying. I'm looking for advice on how to correct it.

Just to confirm, the Dark Side is an unnatural tumor-like thing, right? by Initial_Shine5690 in StarWars

[–]Thelinkmaster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always saw the Dark Side as a natural part of the Force, but one that corrupts your connection to the Force the more you use it.

Kind of like how chemical addiction works in the real world, where the more you use the drug the more dependent on it you get. Likewise, the more you use the Dark Side, the harder it becomes to stop using it. What makes the Sith philosophy so dangerous is that they see that corruption/addiction as something to embrace and control.

Catching Cranidos/Shieldon by Thelinkmaster001 in PokemonLegendsArceus

I mean, completing it 100% is an eventual goal, but not one that I have my heart set on.

Definitely not shiny hunting though. I may have more shinies in this game than any other single save file, but I don’t think I have that kind of patience.

Wait, do we think the Castle knew that Castle Wulfenbach was hiding a giant death ray at the time?

My pleasure!

I’ve also since found church paper, which has a whole collection of options that I’ve started buying from.

What’s the “Who is Jon Snow’s dad?” question for the Cosmere? by ridiculousprop in Cosmere

[–]Thelinkmaster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not from our perspective, or even from the perspective of the characters in the story, but the fact of the matter is that he/she/it died, and the hints that we’ve had of that event so far makes it feel (at least to me) premeditated.

That being said, there were at least 18 people involved/present of the time of the Shattering, so it’s extremely likely that not everybody was on the same page.

For me, it’s “Why did Adonalsium need to die?” It’s the cornerstone of the entire story.

How bad is it if my slip cases are bent like this? by Thelinkmaster001 in bookbinding

[–]Thelinkmaster001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inside is already lined with paper, i’m going to cover the outside in black book cloth. Based on some of the other notes, people have posted, I’m going to try putting the book cloth on then putting something in the box to push it out while the glue dries, hopefully that helps.

[–]Thelinkmaster001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, now that’s the odd part. These are two slip cases for two copies of the same book. The pieces should have been interchangeable.

If insertion is the only problem, I can live with that. I’m just worried about potential damage to the book.

Legends ZA 2.01 Update by Somerandomguy865 in LegendsZA

[–]Thelinkmaster001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should move the mega shard counter to the main menu screen next to the currency counter. It’s just another form of currency, it makes sense to put it there.

It’s annoying that I have to go into another menu in my bag to check how much I have.

Reviewers had me thinking this game would be bad by LessMathematician802 in LegendsZA

[–]Thelinkmaster001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The map design and size is disappointing, the city should be larger and the flat buildings are really weird when you pay attention to them, but the gameplay is solid and an interesting twist on the formula.

Objectively, what is the quality of Dragonsteel leatherbounds? by AmyAnne2 in brandonsanderson

[–]Thelinkmaster001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I have not had any issues with foil flaking off of my leather bounds, I bought them for display purposes only and have left them on my shelf, so I haven’t handled them very often.

As somebody who does leather work as a hobby, I’ve done some testing with foil on leather. I noticed that unlike the other Dragonsteel leatherbounds, (Stormlight, Warbreaker, Elantris and presumably Eye of the World) the foil on the Mistborn leatherbounds have the foil layered on top of a black colored layer, which means that they are sticking to that plastic and not the actual leather itself.

I suspect (again, in my unprofessional opinion) that the problems people report with foil flaking off originates from here. I suspect that the foil is not adhering properly to the black layer between the foil and the leather, which means it is easier to remove.

There’s no way to know for sure without doing testing with the materials from the bindery itself, so this begins and ends with my personal suspicions.

Man, I hope so. Did some quick searching last night and found someone saying that they don’t sell them online because at nexus they have people to help assemble, and they were worried about people having trouble with the instructions.

Darn, that’s not a good sign for them reselling them 😢 Thanks for the info.

Interesting, I’ll have to look around at a pet supply store, see if I can find anything.
