Been a long time, been busy and lots of other stuff, so lets get right to the point:

If anyone hasn't heard, TSW is an upcoming MMORPG from Funcom that has gotten good reviews and learned from their mistakes from AoC and AO and are looking for a decent launch. The game is somewhat pricy, like most sub-based MMORPGS (50$, e, or pounds, depending where you come from), for the game, and 15$, e, or pounds for the monthly fee (with some other subscription options).

The setting of the game is a modern-day, horror, lovecraftian setting, with plenty of good quests, fun dungeons and brain-bogling puzzles and missions. There are no classes, but rather about 550 abilities separated into 9 weapon categories, and passives and actives. You make your own class, build (there are 7 actives and 7 passives) and go with it. There are rifles, pistols, shotguns, magic of all kinds, hammers, blades and fist weapons to choose from, and some of them have tanky or healy skills, but mostly you are not tied to a single class. There are three factions, Templar, Dragon, Illuminati and they are all united against the darkness, but against each other, fighting for power. Therefore, in PvP settings you get a nice three-way free for all, while the PvE remains united against the monsters.

I'm already sold for the game, but if anyone wants to give it a shot i have 2 Beta keys for this weekend, starting at 17:00 GMT and ending some time in the morning on monday (I think about 5 am GMT). Just send me a PM and i'll send you the key if you wanna give it a go, and you can read more about it on the forums, although the game is done more credit by playing it as well. Make sure to do it as quickly as possible since the beta client is quite hefty (Around 30 GB) and also, i'll be gone in about 3 hours. I'll see if i can PM You a key ASAP if i can't do it today, as early as Saturday Morning.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
