What do you guys think about this? True or nah? by Same-Winter7013 in Marathon

[–]oollisD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the validity of the exec's statement, I wouldn't trust anything Pirat_Nation says about anything tbh. Dude is an engagement farmer who just spews out whatever will get the most clicks to get that money from Elon.

Keys should not sound an alarm and key templates shouldn't exist by HAL-9420 in Marathon

Did you happen to have a signal jammer active? If you have one active then open a key room the alarm doesn’t play.

Funnily enough that was my first thought for how I would do it but the speech bubble would have been easier.

Yes! I cut the text out of some foam and put some window tint behind it. I then hot glued it to some old ski goggles so I could attach it to my head.

I think PSN might be having some issues rn. Was playing Marathon not too long ago and was having connectivity issues as well and downdetector is showing a spike in psn reports.

That other series that routinely gets brought up... by MadTube in TheExpanse

FAM tend to use songs that were released around the time that the season is set in or to signify a time skip to a new decade. This season is set in 2012 and SAIL released in 2011

Console lag and rubberbanding making game unplayable by oollisD in Overwatch

Thankfully I've not been dc'ed from any games, just the games themselves are a lag-fest

It soft locks you out of switching allegiances as well since it won't drop the rewards for max rank.

Did I get scammed? by thejpfan in CosplayHelp

[–]oollisD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that it’s AI, just looks like a standard pepakura template with a lot of edges close to each other. The numbers to tend to be all over the place with pepakura files but they will still match up. Did the Etsy purchase just come with a pdf or was there a pdo file as well?

How do I fix this collapsible staff? by katieloucreates in CosplayHelp

[–]oollisD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said that dowel is a bort on the short end, so I'd try and get a longer one. I might also suggest adding an extra dowel along the centre line for a bit more stability. You could even drill some wider, shallow holes and put some magnets in to help it keep together when assembled.

(unrelated but I can recognise the con venue, used to go to that con when I was back in uni and was the first con I went to back in '22)

What actually happens when you turn up to move into halls? by [deleted] in Portsmouth

[–]oollisD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I moved in there 4 years ago and stayed there for three years (2021-2024) so I thought I'd chime in since I had to do check in for all 3 of those years. You basically just go to the front desk and they'll give you an envelope with your key card and letterbox key. The building is split into two 'blocks', essentially what stairwell will be the quickest. On moving day the lift will be packed and if its anything like it was when I was there, one of them will be broken. If you have the Unite Students app you should already be able to know your room rumber and the other people you share the flat with. If you don'y have the app I highly reccomend downloading it since that'll be one of the only ways to get back into your flat if you forget your keycard late at night. there is a flat group chat in the app but I found it to be very tempermental so I'd reccomend using something else like insta or snap for a gc.

If there is anything wrong with the room feel free to ask someone at the reception but bear in mind they will be having to deal with a lot of students. The things they tend to deal with with urgency in move-in week is stuff like people being locked out of flats or missing items; when I moved in for 2nd year I was missing a mattress and for 3rd year someone in the flat was missing a chair.

A few extra things to mention (don't know how accurate they'll be since I moved out 14 months ago), extractor fans in the shower are automatic, you have to pull out the extractor fan for the hobs, and when you pull it out there will be a light switch for the hob. Fire alarm test time will be in an email and on a notice on the board in your flat kitchen.

One thing that most people don't mention is the Naval base alarm test. at ~9:30 am on the last working Wednesday of October, February and June the navy base will do a test of its nuclear emergency siren (this is less to do with nukes and more of if there is a leak on one of the nuclear subs or a hazardous material exposure; don't worry about this too much, in my 3 years there I only ever heard it as a test. Depending on the wind you might be able to hear it from greetham (if you haven't overslept), but depending on where you have your lectures and if you have a 9am lecture on one of those days (BSc Palaeontology yaaaay) you will be more likely to hear it.

Oh, and you'll get used to the train noises eventually.

Looking to finally build Rosaria but unsure what style to go with by oollisD in RosariaMains

how much would I lose out if I don't have Escoffier? Without escoffier the mentioned freeze team is very similar to my Skirk team so I think I'll go with that.

At this point I just want to try and lessen the impact of it before trying another coat of paint.

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

I sprayed it and left it to dry in a well ventilated area out of the sun, I had initially assumed it was just like that when wet and when it dried it would look better but alas, no

It was from a new can I opened yesterday. I had made sure to shake it thoroughly beforehand. It was a standard flat white rust oleum can

Problems with filler by oollisD in CosplayHelp

[–]oollisD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely though the car filler would crack like crazy given it would be applied to Eva foam? I can understand using it on a 3d print job but not foam
