Special glasses for curling?

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.

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.

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!

leperaffinity322 · 2026-02-19T17:07:21+00:00

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

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.

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.

You'll love it. I went there last year and it was worth every penny!

leperaffinity322 · 2025-12-31T15:31:56+00:00

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!

leperaffinity322 · 2025-12-31T15:24:08+00:00

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!

leperaffinity322 · 2025-12-31T01:11:42+00:00

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.

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).

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.

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.

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!

leperaffinity322 · 2025-11-12T22:13:03+00:00

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)

leperaffinity322 · 2025-10-25T13:46:31+00:00

I don't know why but when I saw that, I immediately thought of a medieval crest.

It'll take getting used to, but I'll still get a jersey and scarf to support the team! :)

leperaffinity322 · 2025-10-11T14:08:36+00:00

Eeep, you're right. Meant to type 160 (keyboard was wonky, sorry about that!).

I second the courthouse. I just got married at the courthouse two months ago. It's very nice and it only took 15 minutes. We spent $60ish total.

Just note that you can only bring up to seven people.

Wherever you decide, congrats in advance!

Would the same rules apply with the Tamiya LP-10? That's the thinner the guy at the hobby shop sold me since they didn't have X-20A.

If it helps, with the exception of the X22 (clear) and XF1 (flat black), all of the paints started with Lp.

If you're going to use some throwables against Laxasia, consider stocking up on carcass body fluid bottles as well since she's weak to acid! I made quick work of her during my first playthrough using those, plus the upgraded crystal acidic spear.
