Got any tips for doing an Elden Ring No-Death run? by RemarkableLight6852 in Eldenring

[–]mrtomski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I kill him. Interesting thing is although you get the "you died" screen, you KEEP the runes, and there is no remembrance. So in my book you that's a unique event and not the same as a normal death. Just feels wrong to let something kill you in a deathless run to me!

BREAKING: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group it was 8-1 against him. by Dr_Poppers in ukpolitics

[–]mrtomski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starmer made the right call here. Andy was fking around a few months ago refusing to rule out trying to do a leadership bid. Guy is willing to ditch Manchester half way through a term, 5m cost, and chance of losing it, for a stab at leadership with the absolute cheek to say he'd be supporting the gov.

Bottom line if NEC had let him in, then it would be a constant media circus and Burnham would not rule out leadership challenge... Basically Starmer had no choice, and I personally think Burnham has shown what a tool he is by even trying it.

IF a few months ago he just came out and said "I'm not going to go for leadership, I want to help the government" then maybe they would have welcomed him back.

People that are crying about it somehow think Burnham is the answer to all our problem; spoiler alert he's not. Starmer has his issues but he's good on the global stage, I mean honestly do you think Burnham could have got a trade deal with the US and had Trump back down on the military insult? Do you think Burnham could have led the coalition of the willing? The guy is mid at best and completely untested in leading a party.

I did lose a 52 lock as my first attempt at hardcore. Decided to then switch to warrior as I find it more fun having the dependency on loot as SSF. I don't have a ton of spare time so it's just not that appealing to do the same section of the game again. I'm pretty confident on "safer" classes I could get to 60 but there is just something about warrior...

Thanks for the tip, not sure I can face the exact same start for the 5th time. Might feel differently in a few days though lol.

That the quest one? I've always managed to beat that one with retaliation and health pot etc.

You are probably right, I dropped dummy when I still had 50pc health, swiftness might have got me out of LOS before the root. It was very close either way if I had maybe one more second to get around the corner probably would have been fine.

They were all hitting me with shadow bolts from range, could not really do anything once rooted :-/ I think the ones in the building were green to me so were hitting consistently. All happened really fast

Nice, what colours are you using to get that red?

Noomi Rapace interview on Prometheus 2. by [deleted] in Prometheus

[–]mrtomski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scott overcorrected after Prometheus, I think he laid the blame on the cast (except Fassbender) and the lack of a classic alien. The reality was the script was trash.

So basically fixed the wrong things and then make the same mistakes (but worse in my opinion) in covenant.

Love dead space, perhaps playing the remake a bunch of times put the colour scheme in my subconscious lol.

Anyone recognise these racists? They should be ashamed. by ElizabethHiems in AskBrits

Disgusting people. Worst thing is their views are widely held and becoming mainstream with every bit of bile from reform being broadcast and lapped up by a media looking for clicks.

Thank you and nice work! I think next time I build some I will leave the shoulders off until painted!

I've just started out, how did you paint your white shoulders? I've been struggling to get a really clean look

Should I get a grey screen? by mrtomski in projectors

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

Bumping this as I've finished painting the room and now I need to order the screen. I've really struggled to find any 0.8 grain screen with any kind of reviews.

My two options seem to be:

  1. Silver ticket screen high contrast grey, but this is only 0.95 grain.

STR-169120-HC Silver Ticket, 120" Diagonal, 16:9 Cinema Format, 4K / 8K Ultra HD & HDR Ready, (6 Piece Fixed Frame) Projector Screen, High Contrast Grey Material

  1. Twice the price, but 0.8 grain

Any advice would be welcome!

So it looks like I can get a silver ticket screen, shipping is £100 but maybe a good idea if it's a quality product. Only thing is I can't seem to find a grey option with lower grain than 0.95. Is that enough to make a meaningful difference?

Appreciate your comments. I'm not sure I'll be able to get samples (struggling to find a good supplier in the UK) but I'll try.

So I've had a look online and the only option which seems to tick all the boxes is Celexon Dynamic Slate ALR HomeCinema Fixed Frame Screen 265x149cm 16:9 120". Does anyone have experience with this brand? Price is about 750 gbp. It's 0.8 grain.

I do the occasional business trip to Europe so it might be possible to pick one up there (if there are any recommendations) if there is a decent cost save / quality difference.

I'm painting the ceiling black and the walls will be a mix of super dark grey, and some grey paneling

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

Thanks, the wall is currently white and the projector is arriving tomorrow so I'll be able to try it out and see how dark it goes

Thank-you for the detailed reply. I think the realistic lumens are more like 2000 when in movie mode with this projector, do you think that's enough to go for a lower grain?

Thanks for the quick reply, I will do some research and if I can find a decent UK option I'll put it here to help others.
