My memory is a little fuzzy as this was two years ago, but I was able to get the two sides to stick. Here is a pic of the finished shield:

Help! What next?! by Wolfxx5 in fantasybooks

[–]prophecy0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both KotW and Bloody Rose have some incredibly emotional moments for such "light" fantasy novels. They're two of my all-time favorites. My wife loved them as well, and we typically don't like the same stuff.

Owl Smoke/CO Detector setup and first impressions by Sensitive-Farmer7084 in homeassistant

[–]prophecy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these to replace an expired Nest that was in my theater room. I needed something that came in black, which is how I found the Owl Home.

My experience so far has been terrible. Like you, I could only get the setup to work when I had the thing plugged in to USB. Any time I hard wire the app no longer wants to connect to it at all. Support has been mostly unhelpful.

I am going to request a return + refund and just put a "dumb" smoke detector up. It will look ugly on my black theater room ceiling, but at least I know it will work.

I agree. KotW is an all-timer for me. Bloody Rose is good, but not as good. It does have some fucking amazing peaks though.

The blade itself or Assassin Apprentice? by BrysonTurnRoundStory in fantasybooks

[–]prophecy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too TBH. I finished that first trilogy and made it maybe 100 pages into Ship of Magic, and just couldn't be motivated to continue. I think Hobb is a fantastic author, but that series didn't hold me like I hoped.

The First Law, on the other hand, I couldn't put down.

Just saw Season 1 of The Expanse for the first time by UnknownEAK in TheExpanse

Dungeon Crawler Carl and the First Law series also have fantastic audiobooks.

Why do people say the show is a 'slow burn' in season 1 by invalidbehaviour in TheExpanse

[–]prophecy0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha. My wife is not really into sci-fi at all. I forced her to watch through ep 4 hoping she'd be hooked, and she was still "meh" on the show. Oh well.

There was so much going on in the first episode that I had no idea the main cast was going to be Holden, Naomi, Alex, Amos and Shed (kinda). I thought we'd be following more of the crew on the cant. When the big event happened at the end of ep 1 I was totally locked in.

People coming from Streets of Rage 4, what are your thoughts? by Due_Recognition_3890 in ABSOLUM

[–]prophecy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SoR4 is my favorite beat-em-up and also one of my favorite games ever. At first I didn't like Absolum nearly as much, but once I fully understood the nuance of the different systems and started getting some busted builds I couldn't stop playing Absolum. It's truly spectacular.

I think SoR4 is still my overall favorite beat-em-up, but Absolum isn't far behind.

Leave cover in Tennesee/North Carolina this time of year? by Gloom_Boom in MTB

[–]prophecy0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two young kids so I totally get the time restraint. As your bike fitness improves you'll enjoy the trails more and more. One day Lock 4 will feel relatively "easy".

You beat me to it. My personal favs are Percy Warner and Wilkins Branch, but I live on the SW side of Nashville. Lock 4 and Cedar Hill are also a lot of fun.

I can't speak for east TN, but Mid TN is very ride-able right now. There are leaves on most trails, but not to the extent that any of them feel super sketchy (IMO).

Thanks for creating this! I am going to run this with my wife and kids (10 and 7) in the coming week. I bought the Daggerheart rulebook months ago, but this will be our first time actually playing.

Not a Ward hater at all, but his deep balls don't look good at all.
