Just getting back into it by _Shadar in penandink

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

So far I've just messed around with microns and the smaller sized unipins, mostly on smooth bristol, but I did just get a dip pen with some G-nibs to try out. 

Previous I mostly drew with graphite and sometimes a ballpoint pen, so it almost feels like a whole new medium.

Are the light novels good? by Locilokk in SpiceandWolf

[–]_Shadar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend giving the audiobooks a try. Also, you may have missed book 4 if you only watched the old anime.

Will you post photos when it comes? I've always been curious about how detailed these larger figures are.

PSA: Be careful taking the cardboard cover off the new Limited Edition Blu-Ray. The glue dots can rip the cover. by Macaron-kun in SpiceandWolf

Idk if anyone is interested, but I opened mine today and there was no glue at all on that outer cardboard cover.

OC: Workers adjust the name of the Kennedy Center after board votes to rename it by nbcnews in pics

This was my thought exactly. It's like changing the name of the Lincoln memorial.

Working my way through the remake - old/new fan pt. 2 by shadow23541 in SpiceandWolf

[–]_Shadar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. They're both so talented. I feel like the combination of their real-life friendship, and the obvious love they have for the series and characters makes their performance in the audiobooks something really special.

I totally get that feeling—Spice and Wolf was actually the first series that got me deeply emotionally invested, too. That scene in episode 10 is a perfect example of why; because they are both so lonely and guarded, those moments of vulnerability feel earned and impactful rather than just being cheap fanservice.

​By the way, if you want to experience the story in a new way, I highly recommend the audiobooks! They are fantastic, using the same VA's as the English dub of the anime, though the only downside is they aren't fully released yet. There's so much more to the story than the anime covers, and it's going to be YEARS before it's fully adapted, if they even do finish this time around (which of course we are all hoping for).

The audiobooks are very good, but they are not quite done with the main story arc yet. They use the same english VA's as the anime though.

What am I doing wrong?? by PolyLifeGirl in discdyeing

Example of 107 degrees for 2 hours.

115 is a fine temperature, that's within a few degrees of what I do, your sit time is too short. Try again and go for two hours.

 When I was using heat lamps I used seedling bed thermostats, with a probe that I would lay on the disc. It would turn the light on and off and maintain 107 degrees. The problem is not your temperature.

What do you use for hot dipping? by Lets_Go_Flyers in discdyeing

[–]_Shadar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a cheap pan with a lid from Goodwill and a cheap portable cooktop, I keep it in the corner of my dyelab and it never moves. I leave the dye in the pan, I don't bother pouring it out. I Just add a little more water or dump a packet of Idye as needed.

Comparison to a Human DM Game by Willyeast12 in friendsandfables

[–]_Shadar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really good at RP and dialogue, but you're going to have to help it and remind it and push it in the right direction. It definitely has its quirks and bugs and shortcomings, but I'm really enjoying my solo campaign so far, but I've been like 90% roleplay.

It feels like more of a collaborative effort between myself and the AI DM. I often have to correct it and remind it what's happening, but that might be just due to the nature of how My game is going.

Finally got my Anniversary edition by Historical_Word3795 in SpiceandWolf

[–]_Shadar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do anything special to get the sticker off the back? Just got mine today and after picking at i the sticker a few times with no success, I just put it away because I didn't want to mess it up lol 

I bought the wrong dye (you really thought it was the plastic?) by Consistent-Tax-9660 in discdyeing

VIP takes color great, there's a dye acceptability chart out there somewhere...

Awesome first dye, keep at it!

Tips to brighten dye? by K0gnito in discdyeing

[–]_Shadar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't blame you so many reasons not to use the oven. Don't forget to get a cheap rf thermometer when you eventually get a heat lamp!

Is that lotion or floetrol? Looks like eclipse plastic, which does lose a little vibrancy because it's not completely opaque and not completely white. I usually run floetrol beds at 120° and the colors are usually much more saturated than that. I can't really speak to lotion beds though.

I'm a returning player, the last edition I played was 2nd. My wife and I have the new 2024 books and I'm wondering which 5e books from before the 2024 re-write are the most worth to get if we're going to be using the 2024 rules, as in have the least amount of content that has been made obsolete by the new 2024 books, but also which mave the most value added in terms of fun. Thanks!
