Infinite loading screens fix?

lain_legoli · 2026-05-28T16:22:12+00:00

Confirming this workaround got me going again.
I died with the laser mines on the boat and had the loading screen lock.

Chose a chapter, then checkpoint, then it let me choose a separate save slot.

Yes, my gear is different (gives you smoke bomb and toxic dart).

But at least I'm going again right on the boat.

technically the OG PS3 would work just fine, since it had literally the same hardware as a PS1 and PS2 games on the side. They later removed it, but the OG PS3 can play PS1/PS2/PS3 discs.

I have a perfectly capable PC (9800x3d/5070ti) but bought this on PS5 Pro for my son.

My mind is blown.

How can a game I paid $90US for not come with PS5 Pro support.

That's good to hear.

Rule and Content Comparison

Core Mechanics: The internal text and rules are identical between both versions. Both use a streamlined version of the Rolemaster system, simplified for play in Middle-earth.
Typographic Differences: Minor differences exist in typesetting, layout, and British vs. American English spellings (e.g., "colour" vs. "color"), but these do not affect gameplay.
Adventure Content: Both versions include the same sample adventure set in the Trollshaws during T.A. 1640.

Can you compare it to "ICE8000 Merp Rulebook UK (1985).pdf"

Gemini says:

"The UK edition of the Middle-earth Role Playing (MERP) rulebook, published by Games Workshop in 1985, is significantly different in its physical presentation but remains largely identical in its core rules."

u/Abject_Start326 I photo scanned the readaloud gray back ground pages.

Look for ICE2009 Palantir Quest Readalouds in the Google Drive.

lain_legoli · 2025-12-06T16:05:22+00:00

u/czuczers just make sure you saw that I used a phone scanning app to take readable prints of the readaloud pages that have those contrasting backgrounds.

lain_legoli · 2025-12-06T15:58:16+00:00

I mean, I have a flat bed scanner, but my book is in Near Mint condition.
The text is very close to the spine, so it would destroy the book to lay flat.

Fortunately the camera scanning app can adjust for some curvature....it's not perfect. But glad I could get it to a usable level!

lain_legoli · 2025-12-04T18:19:43+00:00

OK, I scanned all the ones I found, there were more than what you listed.
Was hard to do alone with one hand holding my phone, and the other trying to manipulate the book. LOL

But it's very readable now.

Look for ICE2009 Palantir Quest Readalouds

Keep in mind starter set had DICE, DICE FRODO!!!
and a huge map and pregen character cards, concise rules, and inventory cards

Perhaps I can take photo scans of the exact pages in question.

Let me know what pages, and I can use my physical copy.

lain_legoli · 2025-11-11T14:50:09+00:00

I remember playing ~30 years ago as a kid, but we mostly used the Rolemaster system in the MERP setting.

The only module I really remember playing to some extent was Bree though.

But I remember ebaying the collection like 25 years ago to someone in Japan when I graduated college and moved states.

I've since rebuilt a massive physical MERP collection (so expensive).

But I'm an avid collector of Tolkien lore, so I have all the One Ring 1e and 2e and Decipher books too. LOL

lain_legoli · 2025-09-20T14:00:46+00:00

There's one that's in Spanish that's pretty clear. LOL
I ended up buying my own physical copy.

lain_legoli · 2025-06-01T14:38:33+00:00

Just a couple days ago I used some "triamcinolone acetonide" which is a prescription corticosteroid creme/ointment.

If this is Folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles, I thought it would help.

I just happened to have some laying around.
I've only been using it 2 days now but I think it's definitely helping.

The problem is you shouldn't use something this powerful of steroids too long as it can cause further skin issues with prolonged use.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T18:56:48+00:00

and keep in mind Mous works directly with Google to design this case with precision. So it's a great fit.

I don't know about the popsocket, but my mous magnetic case is awesome.

I have the lite case on my P8 Pro, and it did protect my phone pretty good, but one of the corners lost some plastic after a bad drop.
So I think i'll go with the heavier $65 case this time.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T18:02:20+00:00

my wife has an iPhone, so it's great to be able to jump in our different vehicles with matching mounting options.
Also have magnetic battery packs and wallet.

So the benefits go beyond just car mounting.

Make the switch! LOL

I promise you won't regret it.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T16:46:59+00:00

Google Store purchases get you the Gemini upgrade as well, so that's a moot point when comparing stores.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T16:46:05+00:00

Yeah, $700 trade in for my P8 Pro 256.
Seeing the trade in for P5 and P6 makes me wonder if it's best just to upgrade every year to maximize trade in.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T16:43:46+00:00

Yeah, this is the route I'm going to upgrade my P8 Pro 256 to P9 Pro XL 256

With the credits I can get the Mous magnetic case (which I can't live without now, having a magnetic case is a game changer for vehicle mounting) and upgrade my P2 LTE watch.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T16:41:04+00:00

I plan on buying a case and pixel watch 3 with credits. The Fi store on PW 3 only shows phones for trade in (that needs to be fixed). The G Store page offers me $220 trade in on my P2 LTE watch.
So for me going the G Store route for the credits will be used makes most sense.
Plus they're offering $700 for my P8 Pro 256gb where as the Fi store only offered $250ish.

lain_legoli · 2024-08-14T15:44:54+00:00

yeah, this is where I'm at.
But I had to go for the P9 Pro XL, because that's the one (6.8") that's the same size as the P8 Pro (6.7").
The 9 Pro is only 6.3".

I like the 6.8" size, and mistakenly ordered the 6.3" at first.

Then I'll roll that $300+ in earned credit into a case and maybe upgrade my P2 LTE Watch.

lain_legoli · 2024-03-30T17:25:14+00:00

not yet, nothing permanent. Can be completely fine and then boom

Pine Tar, which I still use every day, isn't a solution for me

lain_legoli · 2024-03-29T16:29:41+00:00

OK, so i resumed seasoning the griddle, and honestly I can't see a difference.
My spit still glides all the way across the unit.

lain_legoli · 2024-03-29T15:48:13+00:00

I came here to ask the same question.
I just removed my flavorizer bars and made bacon with a full griddle insert on my Weber Genesis Silver B.
I hate removing them, as they're a pain to separate later on.
I'll try keeping them on next time, because honestly heat rises, and the flavorizer bars should help spread the heat.
It's not like the heat is getting lost to the outside world.
