    Soulstone Survivors

    The all bolt run I just did was really fun and easy. I didn’t have archers but did have shadow, fire, ice, lightning, poison and very early on got the Epic cast speed and something else, maybe multi cast, that put me on path. I believe that one was 14:49 and that was mostly looking for mobs to...

    Deus - 5/10 (?). It could have been a promising and interesting Sci Fi movie but instead became lazy and generic. This is the most recent example of "How not to assemble a crew to explore space stuff." It was never going to be a Sunshine or an EH. Hard to recommend but if you have to see it just...

    I'm not sure what that's going to do? Let it gently roll off that 10" drop and continue to swing open? Is it a locking caster? I like what you're saying though. My initial idea was to just take something like that and replace the caster with a rubber foot that was spring loaded so that when it...

    Yeah, I considered that but was trying to avoid it. The previous owner put that slab of concrete right in the middle where they meet. It probably wouldn't take chipping / drilling down too much for a recess to sit the bolt. I just honestly didn't like that solution so was trying to be more...

    Soulstone Survivors

    So far it hasn't even been so much that as it just throws so much out with no rhyme or reason with thought to gameplay. It doesn't have to be a "wave" it can be endless spawns of stuff or their own unique name but procedurally there needs to be some unifying theme or goal. Not just "spawn 1,0000...

    I’m so retarded. Was playing fetch and running with the dog in the backyard and was like “Oh let me put the latch on the gate real quick!” Never did it after finishing just had logs propped up against it and we barely open it, as stated before. Pop, pop, screw, screw. Viola latch! Wind blows...

    Hellraiser

    Yeah I felt the same about the first half of the movie. The main characters are all terrible. Joe Bob had a Hellraiser 2 episode that I watched last year, and I don’t remember wanting them to all be murdered in ways even unimaginable to the cenobites. Once the stuff started happening it was fine...

    Soulstone Survivors

    Not sure how I feel about this one. The simplicity of Vampire and Rogue make it "stupid fun." This is fun but there's just so much going on spell effect wise all over the place, things aren't layered nicely to see stuff. Kind of being over critical about it all because it is fun and early...

    Yeah I had the same experience with cheapo drawer slides from Amazon for my Mom's end table and then used some nice "real" (for lack of better term) ones and it was night and day the sturdiness, feel of the pull, the soft close. Ridiculous to even make that statement since most times, not all...

    The poplar frame came out real nice. I couldn’t quite get my frame on the dog crate to smooth out that well and look seamless. Had a lot to do with rushing also but yours is awesome. Also like the drawer fronts. Did you use slide hardware or just wood runners?

    Tucker and Dale is a great idea, always forget that one. The last version I saw of that was a rip with unfinished special effects. Not sure I even watched the final version.

    Trying to get October kicked off with some horror or Halloween-y stuff. We were going to watch the original Halloween but instead: Alien - Just really great all around film. I forgot how much you actually see of the Alien. In my head it was much less and only one of the shots towards the end...

    Dead Space

    Was it just shitty YouTube or did even parts of this remake look jittery and like crap? It is irritating when companies put out trailers and gameplay isn't 100% fluid and showing the best. I don't want the era of fully CG pre-rendered trailers, but come on, at least make the gameplay look crisp.

    Now that we have the Puppy I need to look at putting one of those in the living room and the office.

    Yeah our return is right on the main wall in the living room behind the TV stand / cabinet. We discussed moving it when we replaced the downstairs HVAC but no other wall seemed close to appropriate with how the downstairs is laid out. One wall is the kitchen, two walls are the outside of the...

    Lethal Weapon 7.5/10 - Really loves it. Probably been 25 years since last viewing. Lots of details and jokes that didn’t immediately jump to mind. Although in comparison to some of the other “action” movies this still feels predominantly like a buddy cop movie. That goes without saying but in my...

    I was very hesitant at first because of the random feedback from everyone, but towards the start of COVID and all the work from home I swapped out both my personal PC and work laptop to Razer DeathAdders because two buttons and a scroll wheel is really all I wanted. Both have worked really well...

    Yeah I get the impression through a lot of videos over the years that it is something he’s interested in, probably isn’t the best way to do it, but he has a goal and wants to figure it out. At one point didn’t he even find a company making super expensive HDMI extenders? I’ll mess up whatever my...

    I'm interested in your opinion on it as a "long" series of books, in that there are 11 of 12 (?) books released. I have a friend who I would like to read but she's against anything over 5 books because of the feeling that things get lost, convoluted, earlier stuff becomes irrelevant, and other...

    This was pretty good. We enjoyed it. BJ Novak does a pretty good job of making a caricature of both elitist NY liberal and country Texan while letting the plot and characters grow. His character is pretty much a presumptuous liberal New Yorker writer asshole that knows nothing about Texas. And...

    Building a deck

    The only thing I can probably offer right now would be, in my opinion, get a sweep on the deck rail. There should be a code for how large or small it should be. When I redid the deck at my previous house the builder talked me in to putting one in (and at the time the max height was either golf...

    I enjoy raking and bagging the leaves but wouldn't hate figuring something else out. Didn't try mulching last year but mowing with a bag didn't pick up nearly as many as I would have thought. The "sucking" of the mower is probably much less effective than just spinning it around and chopping...

    I'll offer a slightly different perspective from when I remodeled my 1st floor that included kitchen, living room, 1/2 bath, hallway. It was initially split tile / hardwood between the kitchen and living areas. When the water damage ruined the hardwood it "had to" all be replaced. I tested a few...
