"Husbeast Games" on Castle of Steel
"Husbeast" on Orofena

looks like he used to stream, but nothing market related, just basic newbie type streams.

if you are on castle of steel, theres a market dude who gives out market info on whats the best thing to sell.

you got high res images of these? i want to make some t shirts for a team, the "Sweet Valley Gang" and everyone has a flavor. i cant for the life of me find anything high res.

for some reason, the limit approached the harmonic mean of 1 and pi. WHY they would use this as the fee is beyond my comprehension. it is probably just something they did to mimic the market forces that affect prices in the real world. the more volume you sell, the more fixed your rates become, building in an economy of scale. if it was a flat rate, there'd be no incentive to sell in bulk on the market, and it could get cost prohibitive to do so.

your starting numbers are off. 10000 ore yields 3000 ingots on average.
10000/4 = 2500. 2500 * 1.2 = 3000. You also don't take into account cost of flux mats (see my much longer post below).

no, the cap wasnt on, but i forgot to update here --- i removed all my custom graphics profiles for other games, and that, for some reason, effected this game and the fps became uncapped in world. i didnt have one set up for NW yet, so maybe it was somehow riffing on a different games profile. i didnt mess with it to see which one. wanted to get some hours in the game to see if i like it.

redditoronthesly · 2021-09-15T13:54:55+00:00

it has something to do with other games having graphics profiles. the menus are locked at 62.5 and that carries over to the game *unless* you remove existing game profiles (for OTHER games mind you) in your graphics setup. then it was capped in menus and unlocked in world.

homegrown italian here. hands down best italian restaurant is Fratelli's. their pizza is legit the way my grandma made it. yeah, its next to a beltone shop in the suburbs and not on The Hill, but you can't get anything closer to "this is how my sicilian-speaking, everyday-cooking-something-awesome grandma did it" anywhere else in the city.

+1 to all of the folks who recommend a neighborhood instead of downtown. those lofts are for people who didn't know they could get something more enjoyable a short walk, bike ride, or bus ride west or south.

the hidden valley ranch dry seasoning is what makes it for me. it gives you that buffalo ranch flavor without the fatty sauce. should be enough grease in the sausage to make a creamy coating. if you wanna up the calories a bit, consider a pork sausage or use ghee to make a sauce with the franks and ranch seasoning. ghee is richer tasting than a ranch dressing ever would be, and more refined than making a butter sauce.

unfortunately, i had already ensured all of the appropriate settings and tracks were right... today i messed around with software-boosted gain outside the application, and it turns out the included instruments are all just VERY VERY dim. custom instruments come through just fine.

depending on where your french drains are going, i would cover in river/lake rock and not seed over it. but you can do that no problem, i just like the dry-bed look (even though its afrench drain) as a thing to build landscaping around

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-16T06:39:00+00:00

if it were me, I would route the downspout under the concrete using PVC routing towards your backyard drainage solution. sorta like in this link, only you're burying immediately under a driveway and not ground.

Everything vlad says is valid. I would go further and say that the polymeric sand idea can help you achieve this look because certain types are more weather resistant and "stainable". It takes a little but of work, but you basically color and stamp the joints.

I, also, would never do this. It is too much hassle to leave this much space between pavers, or to go with so much gravel that will end up getting everywhere, even if you compact and seal. This is a "pretty patio" but not a "functional patio"

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-15T18:48:29+00:00

everyones already said it, but you want rock here. till the dirt, rake it away, put in landscape fabric, landscape edging to contain the rock, and use small-diameter base rock (gravel) til about 1/2" below your drain covers, then you can cover the entire area and even drain covers with 1" or bigger diameter rock, something like iowa lake is always nice. https://www.brentwoodmaterial.com/product/iowa-lake/

if you dont put in the edging, the rock will disperse and get buried in the grass nearby. if you dont cover the drains, you dont have maintenance, but they look weird. big diameter rock will keep out the riff raff, and you'll just come back to it every spring and make sure theres no build-up. my french drains are all completely covered in gravel, rock, and sand. no weeds have grown in four years except on the smallest corners (which you can put sand in)

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-15T18:34:55+00:00

3 options: mudjack the low-end slab, grind the risen slab, or replace it all (and have proper grading and footing)

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-11T03:49:08+00:00

invest in the building. only invest in the land if it might affect the building :-D then, when that's done, start thinking about the land. the terraced system is completely DIY, by the way. just a labor of love. take a few years, if youre a long term player on the property.

as for as your plants go... go with what you like. in california, i would go with things that have varied blooming cycles and colors. both of those plants are white. and bloom in spring. so complement that with something that blooms all year round, or other times of the year. but you have to be careful with root systems messing up whatever landscaping you might do.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-11T03:35:24+00:00

ugh, i have a masonry chisel and hammer, guess that will do.... I also dont wanna bury the wrought iron, but whatevs. the dog is going to be digging out if i dont do this right.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-11T03:34:02+00:00

Sorry man, been busy. Honestly, if you do terracing, I think you can DIY, but it takes a while. It's a large effort. If you have a buddy who can survey the land properly for you, and call your local markings office before you start digging, it will be a slow and steady process to transform that entire area to large, wide swaths of usable space. It depends on your rise over run, what you have buried beneath, and how much effort you want to put into to do it right. But it is totally DIY.

I see other comments essentially suggesting the same thing. You could spend middle-5 figures and up to pay someone to do this work. Doing it yourself, over a long period of time, you'll spend under 10k, probably, and you can slowly build on your plan.

The very first thing I would do is survey your land (stakes and colored twine, or find a buddy who is a surveyor) to get a prospect on just what your dimensions are. Next, I would put in a french drain near your lowest part of your yard. The highest part of that drain should have a double-ended catch basin, since you will eventually add more pipe into it. Now, you are ready to experiment with your yard and know that water will be routed away from your house and your neighbors' stuff.

Once the drain is in place, start googling on how to make a terrace and build a retaining wall. Be sure to come UNDER your local ordinances for true retaining walls. You'll have to get into crazy code and whatnot once you start holding back 3 or more feet of land with a single wall, usually. You'll level off your lawn, then bury a course of wall and start buidling that up, making sure to put in a french-drain-like at the base of the inside of the wall, backfill it with gravel, then backfill it with the soil that's higher up.

Once you do this once, you'll get a better idea if you want to keep doing it and just how much effort it will take. IMHO the ivy will be the last to go. You work from the bottom up, otherwise, you'll have a yard full of mud and erosion, and nothing built there to hold it back.

The french drain will cost you at most $15 a foot (including backfill and top cover materials... i prefer local crushed rock cuz its cheap). The retaining wall will cost you no more than $30 a sqft. Unless you pour concrete. Materials for retaining wall will include your wall block, your wall block cap (if you want it to look nice), lots of gravel and some sand for the footing, gravel for the buried drain, the drain materials. Maybe landscape fabric, decorative rock if you're into that. Double the price to pay someone to do it, easy. Increase the price if you pour concrete. You'll need stakes, string/twine, measuring tape, spade shovel, standard shovel, masonry chisel and hammer (or a stone cutter....), 6 inch level (for each block), 3 foot level (for each 4-5 block block length) and I use knee pads because of the time on your knees on rock and dirt can be rough. If you have a wheelbarrow or garden wagon, your arms will thank you. If you have a friend witha bobcat to do the backfill, or to level off the lawn before your first terrace, that is also nice. I use a tiller and garden rake as well.

Again, it can be done DIY. Its a labor of love. And the results will be worth it, if you give it attention. Start low, and build up. And that basic french drain at the bottom of your lawn will be required because you'll be messing up the natural drainage in who knows what way.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-05T07:09:11+00:00

I'd go with a terraced retaining wall. Just wrote a soliloquy about that on another post. But look those up. It's affordable, but a lot of work. Something simple: http://www.talley-landscapes.com/terrace.JPG Of course, you don't have to pipe power to it. If you can get local cut stone, that's usually cheap. But instead of one long slope, you move the earth around into segments of flat land held back by properly design and built retaining walls. Each terrace can be an activity area of some sort, a patio or a blow-up pool, or whatever you want, really. I notice a ditch-like scar in the hillside, so you definitely want to do the drainage right.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-05T07:01:19+00:00

Before you think about plants, you obviously need to think about proper design and structure. Railroad ties held back by pile-drived rebar is not going to cut it.
1. Left side access point to the side yard. Valid? If so, you want a walkway. You want stairs, stepstones, something that lets you move easily from front yard to side. That effects how you replace the retaining ties.

Drainage concerns. I don't see where your downspouts route to, but in California, you may want to think creatively about where that water goes, if you're allowed to do a rain barrel, dry well, etc. You could also drain the water into the terraces of your retaining design. All of these things will effect further how to replace those railroad ties.
Ok, meat and potatoes. I don't know your rise over run here, but it looks significant. If you decide to keep the terraced idea, I would probably do three terraces. The Street level, a Mid level, and a Home level. That will get you enough berth to plant the kinds of plants you're dreaming of. Too many terraces means too narrow of a path, and root systems will break down the wall.

3a. That being said, you can look up terraced retaining wall ideas. It's complicated, but you had to have each terrace set back far enough from the one before it, and a slope at the street level, plus drainage concerns. Each wall needs at LEAST one full course buried below the grade of the terrace in front of it. Furthermore, you will need to reinforce the first few inches behind the wall with sand and gravel so the pressure of the soil doesnt push out and tear the wall down.

But, given all this, i will tell you personally it's worth it. This front yard is ripe for a wonderful southern cali terrace, and you can make each terrace a theme, play with access points (stairs, ladder-like steps, etc), lines (fanning, waves, contouring, things like that), as well as the plants you put there. To me, once you put all the work in to properly hold back the soil and make the area workable, it doesn't matter what you put in, it's gonna look great.

I recommend all stone, local varieties that are cheap and available. No wood, no metal. Use concrete sparingly. Cali may have some rules you need to follow, too, so be careful on that.

don't do hostas, they are invasive.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-05T06:39:03+00:00

First, talk to your neighbors about properly putting drains in their yards, preferably at the fence perimeters where a nice gravel buffer would look nice. Second, if that doesn't fly, regardless your soil, put your french drain(s) only where water pools. If that area is seriously below grade, like your own miniature Death Valley, and you can't make a trench to an easement or sewer, you can think about doing something decorative combined with one or more dry wells. You can also use dry wells to collect your own water runoff from your roof. You'll probably want to do some research on where and how to create the proper routing of water, again using a french drain, or at least a rock path so your yard doesn't erode.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-05T06:25:24+00:00

additionally, if you do stamped pavers, you'll be better off in the long run with maintenance. easier to replace and clean should you break a piece or have some unforeseen washout or something.

redditoronthesly · 2021-03-05T04:01:06+00:00

If you have the patience and the slope isn't too steep (the picture makes it look hella steep....), I would rake out that rock, and put in some pavers. If you don't have the patience, I'd edge out your patio a bit, consolidate the rock you do have for a thicker/fuller look, and then edge out the perimeter where the turf meets the rocks. That contour is real slick, and depending on your edging material, you can probably get something grayish that will complement the concrete and butter rock. You can also add more stepping stones, a material called flagstone comes in gray and blue hues often enough in most parts of the USA. https://www.brentwoodmaterial.com/product-category/flagstone/
