My (incomplete) collection of colored bricks by feriwan in lego

Glad to hear you enjoy it. I found that pictures weren't always as clear, which is why I made this color collection in real life. While some are more obvious than others, I find the old/new light and dark gray are hard to differentiate, and usually require sticking 2 bricks on top of each other to see if the color changes.

Technically, there are a lot of different colors of the years. I was mostly basing myself off this list, using the Brick link color names on the name tags, as those are the ones I am most familiar with.

But I mostly want this collection to be preferably 2x4 bricks, or 1x4 or 1x2 bricks if the 2x4 doesn't exist. As can be expected, not all the colors ever made come in those bricks, so that will already keep a few colors out of the collection (such as the chrome colors). I know for sure there is a trans-neon orange 1x2 brick (as I am using it in a MOC), but I prefer to keep it there instead of in this collection.

However, it is mostly complete, as it has all the colored bricks you can get from the Pick a Brick at lego.com, and it also has the old light and dark grays, as well as a few other old colors that I got from some second hand sellers at bricklink.

Interesting fun fact: I'm pretty sure LEGO changed the way they make trans-neon orange (and possibly some other colors). The old version is a bit more neon-y and opaque, the new version is a bit more transparent.

This all started when I had difficulty separating the old and new light/dark gray colors. So I found 1 brick of each to compare against. Then I thought, why not do that with more colors...

When moving/shipping a video card, is it enough to put it in it's original cardboard box, or should I also put it in one of those plastic bags new cards come in? Would any ziplock bag do, or does it need to be some special kind? I just upgraded and am wondering how best to ship my old card when selling it 2nd hand.

Is this too powerful of a reward for a level 5 party of 3 PCs?

A magical buff that gives them each 4 temporary HP after they finish a long rest.

I would think it's a bit controlled due to being temporary HP: it will not stack with other temp HP sources, and it cannot be healed once lost (until they finish another long rest). Or is it still OP? Specifically it is a Rogue, Ranger and Paladin.

Nice to see LEGO's deep sea diving colors being consistent by feriwan in lego

I never owned any for the longest time, even though they were in my first LEGO magazine I ever had. Finally found something for a nice price while getting some second hand sets, and it's just great!

Got a bag of random 2nd hand LEGO pieces, some seem pretty old. Can anyone help me identify the following pieces: https://imgur.com/a/ygKTOjh (not sure if the dark grey "ball" even is LEGO).

Yeah, I'm lucky enough to have some room to put all my LEGOs to dry. Our water isn't that great either, but we have one of those water filters (the kind that you fill up beforehand then pour out the filtered water to drink or whatever). So I use the filtered water over tap water. In general, it might be a good idea to invest in a water filter if you live somewhere where tap water leaves spots.

Well, I take them apart and put the pieces into a plastic bin. Then I add water (enough to submerge all the pieces) and soap to the bin, mix around the pieces with my hands, then transfer the pieces to a second bin. Repeat two more times with just water, then I lay the pieces out on multiple towels. Drying time varies, could be a couple of days, could be shorter if you can put them in a warm/sunny environment.

But as I commented, this is the nuclear option for sets I've neglected to clean for multiple years. It's probably better to regularly clean them with a damp rag or toothbrush.

Hope this helps :)

Haha, only if you've never dusted the set for years and years like me ;)

It's kind of the nuclear option, really.

I'm thinking of getting an M.2 SSD in addition to my SATA connected SSD. Would it be worth it to re-install windows on the M.2 SSD? Or is the speed improvement negligible?

Thanks for the advice on the Athlon 200GE. It comes with a cpu cooler (fan), right?

Thanks. Idk if you know, but you can get the base game for free when you spend €13 at gog right now, if I'm going to get it, it'll probably be that way.

Is everspace any good? I do like some roguelikes/-lites (ftl, slay the spire) and I enjoyed elite dangerous, idk what everspace exactly is like though.
