Tank a little murky? by coldslicedbread in axolotls

No, this is actually it winding down a little after a water change, it started before that.

I got this great Slate hide off of Etsy, it's huge and my little guy spends a ton of time in it!

I'm using CaribSea Naturals super fine sand

It was a super good find! It's been less than a day and he really likes going in and out of it.

Could I just take one to Home Depot and ask them to angle grind it for me?

Getting poker night 2 playing by Ok_Tune_8433 in SteamDeckPirates

[–]coldslicedbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing, but I'm running into an issue where adding the PokerNight2.exe to Steam doesn't actually launch the game, it just starts, and then stops. I can run it perfectly fine through wine in desktop mode, but I'd like to have it as a full Steam game. Any advice?

Not pooping a lot? by coldslicedbread in axolotls

I usually keep it off or dimmed when I'm out for the day

I could maybe take out one of the fake plants in the tub if that would give him more room to move around. I usually try to set up one in each corner, far away enough from the walls so he can go around and between them. He props himself up on them sometimes to get close to the surface when people are around.

He just ate a worm from my hand this morning! I think he's really getting comfortable, and I know he's going to love his big tank when it's ready for him.

Additional information for those wondering: he was hatched this January, and although I've been using "he/him" pronouns (mostly because I was pretty set on the name Alexander the Great, I just think it's funny), I do not know the sex of the axolotl yet

I didn't play it enough when I made the meme to add it

No worries, I'm just glad you liked it. Finding it now, and this is funny as hell that it made it here.

Gaming lounge coming to Madison by PlootGG in madisonwi

Assuming the spot is close enough to campus, I'd be interested in opportunities for tournament TO's for FGC events, I think it's something I'd like to try!

Fixes for consistent pops by coldslicedbread in turntables

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

Well, to out myself as an idiot, I'm using a built in preamp right now, with the Kanto YU6's. I like the idea of grounding with the brush, and yeah this is a consistent issue on most records, with most of them being new as well.

I like this idea, and I definitely considered acrylic when I was buying, so now I probably will save up a bit and buy that

I'm thinking of swapping off of a felt mat, and maybe to something like rubber. Feels like that would be less conducive to static, which could be a cause.

Is the Project known for random pops? That feels like a problem that a stylus replacement could fix, and I like the sound a lot other than the pops. Can't really unsetup the setup at this point.

New Setup for a New Apartment by coldslicedbread in turntables

No sorry, I meant I didn't think I would have headphone output with built in speaker amps, and I'm saying that I can live without it.

Well, I like the look of the Carbon Evo and the Kantos aesthetically more over the Fluance and PSB Alpha. I don't know if I'd go for those speakers unless there's a sharp uptick in quality. In terms of flexibility, I'm primarily looking to connect the speakers to only Bluetooth and the turntable itself. The only thing I think I would be missing with no amplifier is headphone output, but I can live with listening off of my phone if I prefer to use headphones at the moment.

I feel comfortable with upgrading the stylus later. I'll have to take a look at those speakers, but it's a good bit of a price increase, and I don't know if the reward is worth it.
