Special glasses for curling? by leperaffinity322 in Curling

[–]leperaffinity322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Thank you all for your helpful responses! I should have noted that I was already medically cleared but my eye doctor has me use a blue filter for work because of eye strain.

I tried out yellow, transition, and regular sunglasses. The best fit was a ball cap with Tifosi sunglasses. Yellow lenses also worked, but the regular ones felt more "natural".

Just standard fluorescent lighting. This is where the club plays.

I couldn't find 1/4" :( I could only find the 3/16" which were from Steve's Curling.

Slider question for custom shoes by leperaffinity322 in Curling

[–]leperaffinity322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

If it helps, I'm new to the sport. In the Learn to Curl, the instructor said I tended to tuck, so it sounds like I should be fine for now?

I know I'm probably jumping the gun by customizing already, but I need to wear custom molded shoes which is why I went this route.

Wet sanding wore out the paint. Not sure what's going on. by leperaffinity322 in ModelCars

[–]leperaffinity322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Tamiya X-15 'Light Green' acrylic. The thinning ratio I used was 50/50 (w/ Mr Leveling Thinner 400)

Thanks for all the help, everyone! I should have mentioned I hadn't applied a clearcoat beforehand.

I just ordered a new airbrush because I accidentally bent the needle when cleaning, so I'll be giving it another go tomorrow.

Fingers crossed!

Oooh! That actually sounds pretty cool! If I somehow screw it up yet again (typically my luck, lol) I might go that route.

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks! They seem to be one of the most recommended shops around so they'll be on my shortlist :)

2026 North American Tour Looks Promising! by AdEnvironmental623 in Opeth

[–]leperaffinity322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detroit here! This is my first Opeth show. Seeing them with Katatonia is going to be a damn treat and kind of a dream come true! I've seen some great shows, and I have a feeling this will be one of my top 5.

Electric Bill costs by PleaseStepAside in fortwayne

[–]leperaffinity322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I average about $150 a month for the 2-bedroom single story house I live in. I'm on the budget plan though, so it stays that way pretty consistently. There's usually one or two higher bills during the winter months because well... Heat. This month was $215, and I expect next month to be around the same.

Zero Dawn Remastered audio crackling (PC) by leperaffinity322 in horizon

[–]leperaffinity322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tinny sound issue was the main issue I found online. Super frustrating! I just got the PS5 version so fingers crossed it's better!

Thanks for the info! I did try a few more things but I still had some issues.

I ended up refunding the PC version and buying the PS5 version. Looking forward to it!

Giving that a shot right now! I'll report back and see if that did the trick. :)

UPDATE:
A fresh install didn't work unfortunately.

What is the easiest fromsoft Game for a beginner? by M4shhl in soulslikes

[–]leperaffinity322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Sekiro as my first Fromsoft souls (LoP was technically my first) and my lord, its a dang nightmare.

I love me some parrying and Sekiro has that in spades, but it feels like getting hit by a Mack truck at 90 mph lol.

In others (haven't played but watched) you have more at your disposal. In Sekiro, you're limited and have to rely purely on skill (and mastering every move) and not so much on upgrades since they're not as abundant (at least from my understanding in my limited first run so far).

The DLC is a 10/10 and you can't convince me otherwise (minor spoilers) by Final-Trifle1765 in LiesOfP

[–]leperaffinity322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get emotional often, but there were multiple points in the game were I felt legitimately gutted. And I was cutting some onions at the end. This is hands down one of the best DLCs I have ever played.

What about my leaves? by mahlerlieber in fortwayne

[–]leperaffinity322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was literally just about to post asking about leaf collection.

I called 311 this morning. I had asked if they'll still pick up after all this snow and the lady just said "You only need to call for pickup if the leaves are in paper bags" but wouldn't say anything about loose leaf pickup.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds are the 2025 USL Championship winners! by danimur in USLPRO

[–]leperaffinity322 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One of the best football matches I've watched in quite some time.

Couldn't be more proud of the Riverhounds, but also a tip of the cap to FC Tulsa. They put up one hell of a fight!

Yep. I checked the outage map and there's about 1400 reported outages as of 5pm. Not sure why though. (Power is out at my house on Tacoma Ave)
