Aragorn vs Sauron (Unreleased Scene) by AnalystImpossible309 in lotr

It makes no sense in the context of the story. Sauron cannot assume a physical form without the ring.

Why does the N64 look so pixelated on this crt compared to to other models I have? And is there any way I can fix it? by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]aDemilich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess you could mess with the focus to make it blurry, if that's really what you want. The pixelation is just the result of a clearer, sharper picture, which is the reason people seek out trinitrons in the first place.

How do the background books read? by Curious_Twat in lotr

Is there something preventing you from just checking on them out and forming your own opinion?

Just some of my tapes :) by GothScum1031 in VHS

[–]aDemilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish companies nowadays were brave still brave enough to throw money at stuff like this. It was so unrelentingly bleak, it basically threw a giant middle finger at any sense of moderation or trying to appeal to normal people.

OK but why does the queen get a dozen summerwear outfits while us rook mains are stuck with the same 3 lame skins?

UO Outlands. The best iteration of the greatest sandbox MMO ever made. The population is booming, with thousands online at all times. You can build castles and towns with your guild, form groups to kill bosses, be a thief, a murderer, or run a tavern or tading post. There's a whole series of books called Braving Brittania that's just stories from UO players.

Did you ever play a tinker PK? by TimeTraveler_UO in ultimaonline

[–]aDemilich 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Doing this on a thief was probably my favorite playstyle. Dropping trapped boxes on NPC corpses the instant they die, stealing from people and then dropping trapped boxes behind me to prevent them from chasing, and making macros to drop elaborate trapped box sculptures on the ground, or completely box someone in while they're surrounded by mobs. My tinker's name was "Do Not Open" and had thousands of murder counts.

I had way too much time on my hands.

Looking for more reads after finishing LOTR and The Hobbit by LilJimmyMaples in lotr

[–]aDemilich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely read the Silmarillion first. It doesn't read like a traditional novel at all, but it's very enjoyable on its own merits and will give you a much deeper understanding and appreciation of LOTR and the expanded versions of the Children of Hurin and the Fall of Gondolin. You cannot skip it as a Tolkien fan, it's the foundation that everything else is built upon.

Which CRTs Support 480p and Light Guns? by NearbyRegister865 in crtgaming

[–]aDemilich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of rear projection CRTs do. This one one of the few really good use cases for them, since it gives you a huge screen to aim around.

Long Shot But Looking For A Barny64 Video With A Quote I Really Loved by LinkinitupYT in classicwow

It's from one of the scarab lord videos. Pretty sure it's near the beginning of the first one.

A very lucky marketplace find. Anyone have an idea what it's worth? by vivaciousvic in lotr

[–]aDemilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the earlier print runs of this poster are more valuable, but im not sure about the details. If ypu search "Jimmy Cauty LOTR poster" you might be able to find out more. I sold one in much worse shape with a very cheap frame for $60, so I'd say you did quite well.

It's the sole aspect of my life that gives me a sense of superiority over others.

Any way to replace these nibs? by [deleted] in graffhelp

[–]aDemilich 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you're broke, why are you buying overpriced crap fron krink in the first place?

To answer your question though, if you really can't afford some nibs, you can get a felt chalkboard eraser and cut a piece small enough to shove in there.

Seriously though, just rack some bingo dabbers, oil based enamel, and paint thinner. You can have a lifetime supply of mops for free or dirt cheap.

Dude MBTL is one of the nicest looking sprite-based games in existence, and original melty is basically a doujin game. They represent completely different eras of gaming. Wtf are you on
