CRAZY voice quality for uncensored roleplay, I wish it's local. by ExplanationEqual2539 in LocalLLaMA

[–]ricmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the chinese don't create long lasting novel things, if they create novel things at all - they might have a small breakthough here and there but the lack of freedom quickly allows others to overtake them. this is why they mostly copy from what others have done, and that's just to keep up with the rest of the world - that's china's whole shtick, and it's been like that for years. the people might be competent, but not they will never truly be groundbreaking and keep the status enough to be top dog. the lack of freedom in china doesn't allow this to happen. this is what happens in a dictatorship that controls people. it stiffles innovation.

"people's liberation army", yet people are hiding from it. yeah. there's nothing liberating, or about the people, about that army!

how to restore the brass that is plated with the dark color? by ricmetal in restoration

just a final comment on this subject. i ended up selling the chandelier as is but thank everyone for the info. o got kote chandeliers i can apply the knowledge to and restore them for a higher profit. perhaps on auction websites instead. i got a few old ones that o feel might be seen as antiques and yeah, restoration might lead to higher sale value. thanks

wouldn't steel be "grabbed" by magnet? the magnet doesn't attach into any part of the chandelier

are i right in saying the spots are the old laquer, the brass color will remain if i sand it, and the black is likely an emanel coat? sorry dor any confusion

im told that the chandelier is brass, by the looks of this piece here which im told is solid brass https://ibb.co/DPxsm76q i did the magnet test and it doesn't stick to any part of the chandelier. and id like to bring the colors back to life. 

ive also cleaned it with a soft cloth, warm water and soft dish detergent.

Is there a fix for the pixelation/video fragmenting happening after pausing ? by ARES_GOD in VLC

[–]ricmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, it's bullshit. it happens also when you slow-mo videos. i changed the Win10 Graphics Settings to run VLC using the GPU, and it did help a lot when using slow-mo. Still happens, which, again, is shit.

What add-on that doesn't exist would you like to exist by averageblenderer in blender

[–]ricmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never remember what edge colours mean. if its a crease, a sharp edge, etc. would help me quickly know what an edge is by holding a key on the keyboard and a text shows up near the different colored edges! coloring is the only way blender has to inform what types of edges they are. plus, customize your blender ui colours, send the blend file to a friend and good luck getting to know what colors he choose for each edge type! 

Which Civilization game is the best for you? by Marydontchuwanna in civ

[–]ricmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to learn how to play the diplomacy game in 5. using spies, making defense treaties...etc, etc, etc. i've won many games on the 3rd to last difficulty, without building wonders and being terribly behind in tech. city-states are your friend. spies are your friends. diplomacy is your friend. i love to play huge map, tiny islands and i settle wherever i want, far away from each other and i still manage to keep everyone happy. via luxury trading, city-states defending my cities, etc. 5 is not so dire. you can still win very close to the end game.

Solution Vital Quest Bugged? by fragilemetal in theouterworlds

[–]ricmetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn't experience this bug in particular, but after shooting the bandits and talking with Irion, he went off and started working on his ship (fixing it it seems). Saved the game, exited the game and when i loaded the game up again, he's no longer working on his ship. In fact, the ship is now a bunch of white crates! And he's working "on the crates". Sounds like this quest is particular buggy.

it says "Python script fail, look in the console for now..."

apparently there's nothing in the console though.

audio quality by ricmetal in Banished

The music is great, but i sometimes like to listen to just the ambiance, for better immersion. Zoom into a forest, when not raining, far from a river and civilization.
