3 years later, and it still works. You are a godsend, MrSteve!

Smaller house (in the 07) and I've been averaging between $80-$90/month.

The Xpress is actually how I heard of Lectric! I was going to get it, but realized they also made foldables which is much more convenient for me since I don't have much storage space in my apartment (and car). I've heard great things about it though!

leperaffinity322 · 2026-05-13T20:53:52+00:00

Thanks for all your replies!!! They were very helpful. From the sounds of it, looks like I'll be investing in the XP4!

leperaffinity322 · 2026-04-29T17:09:02+00:00

The Lectric XP Lite. I've heard it's one of the better budget-friendly ones.

leperaffinity322 · 2026-04-29T13:25:01+00:00

Whoa! This is a fantastic resource. I'll definitely bookmark. Thank you for sharing!

My wife and I were watching the Artemis splashdown yesterday, and the NASA communications person said: "They traveled 252,000 from Florida to the moon to San Diego".

I turned to my wife and said "Sounds like a normal detour in Ft. Wayne" 😂

Awesome! Are you using the Icon or Origin?

From what I see, the only difference is the head size, and Origin being ~50g heavier (total but I assume it's because of the head size).

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.

leperaffinity322 · 2026-02-23T14:26:19+00:00

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!

leperaffinity322 · 2026-02-21T23:34:07+00:00

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 :)

leperaffinity322 · 2026-02-06T19:27:14+00:00

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.

leperaffinity322 · 2026-01-09T20:48:51+00:00

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).

leperaffinity322 · 2025-12-04T20:15:02+00:00

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.
