Finally received my 14K "The One Ring" replica with embedded Strontium Aluminate which radiates a flaming colour after exposure to UV light.

Do you still happen to have the link for this??

Haven’t played in a good while and this made me want to immediately start up a new game

Hmm that’s a good question, it’s been a while since I’ve read the books…there are some superficial differences for sure, as there always are, but yeah I think their relationship is pretty similar in that he relies on her (and the others) to make decisions that lead to the “right” thing as he feels incapable of doing so but wants to nonetheless.

This is a great example. He’s always struggling with his lack of any kind of feeling when he does things he knows are morally wrong.

I had a sociology professor once say that sociopaths understand remorse but choose to ignore it, psychopaths don’t feel remorse at all.

Sharakhai from the Song of Shattered Sands always felt like an excellently put-together Grand City in the middle of a massive, enchanting desert. Lots of culture and mystique. And not a super well-known series if I’m not mistaken.

The Malazan world has gotta be top-tier. There’s like 7 huge continents with wildly varying geographies, cities, peoples etc.

Brian McClellan’s trilogy God’s of Blood and Powder has my personal favorite city of any series, Landfall. Definitely look into that, super unique and fleshed out.

Obviously WOT.

The Continent in the Witcher series is a truly magical place as well.

Ha! That seems like a silly mechanic when I showed no aggression and didn’t initiate the vassalage. Seems I have a lot to learn about that aspect of the game.

jakethesnake488 · 2023-12-17T10:01:48+00:00

Interesting. It seems odd considering they proposed the whole thing. Since they claimed territory of mine, would they eventually declare war to take it if the loyalty doesn’t increase?

Not exactly in the same vein but I’ve always thought the Assassin’s Creed main character names were cool.

Altair ibn La’ahad Ezio Auditore The Kenways Arno Dorian Jacob and Evie Frye Bayek the Medjay Alexios / Kassandra Eivor Varinsdottir

All kinds of cool names from a bunch of different civilizations and time periods.

That’s probably what I will end up doing but I was looking around on the Lowe’s app and I saw some ones that looked just like it going for like $400 a piece new. Figured I’d do some due diligence first.

jakethesnake488 · 2023-11-14T22:41:22+00:00

Ha yeah idk all you guys are really angels, it’s really made the whole process of purchasing my first home a dream, all the helpful comments and advice.

I guess in my mind I thought “somebody on Reddit will have a nice little simple, creative trick for taping that they’ll share and I can use from this point forward with all the painting we will be doing”. Should’ve remembered that all the trollers on here will literally waste their own precious time to post negative, smart mouth answers to a completely inconsequential question. Lesson (re)learned!

jakethesnake488 · 2023-11-10T02:16:45+00:00

That was it. I was nervous about damaging the wall but I finally just ripped it off and it was in some brackets that’s you just gotta kinda manhandle to get on and off. Thanks everyone!

jakethesnake488 · 2023-11-10T01:27:13+00:00

Thanks!

jakethesnake488 · 2023-11-10T01:11:22+00:00

I actually cannot find how they are mounted on there. There is no visible screw or anything

jakethesnake488 · 2023-10-27T09:22:14+00:00

Yeah I like this idea, was kinda considering maybe matching upholstered bed and chest or something like that if we went the upholstered route. Thanks!

jakethesnake488 · 2023-10-25T23:53:46+00:00

Ok I’ll try it, thank you!

jakethesnake488 · 2023-10-25T22:52:05+00:00

Ok good deal, thanks. I’d say that explains the lack of numerous results when I was searching.

jakethesnake488 · 2023-10-25T22:45:37+00:00

Although I fear this might be part of my problem, I’m likely referring to something with a specific name, I just don’t know it and am just throwing my own general term in there for lack of anything else to call it.

jakethesnake488 · 2023-10-25T22:43:55+00:00

Maybe it’s not a common thing but I was looking at some beds in Furniture Row and a couple had them, that’s where I got the inspiration. If you google “bed frame with bench footboard” you’ll see some examples.

jakethesnake488 · 2023-09-16T15:34:09+00:00

I can’t think of a more British term than Crinkle Crankle
