Off Topic / HBO got hacked

« on: August 01, 2017, 03:16:52 AM »

This was announced yesterday by HBO but from what I could see nobody has mentioned it yet. Allegedly 1.5 Tb of data was taken from HBO servers, including future Game of Thrones scripts and episodes of some of their other shows, some of which have already leaked. I am making a topic so everyone who watches GoT and other HBO shows know that spoilers are gonna be raining down and the internet is no longer safe for even a caught-up viewer.

They are currently EVERYWHERE outside of my house. My brother has been stung twice and my mother once, and my local school district is sending out warnings about them rn. Apparently the reach peak around this time so basically i'm screwed.

They look like this:


And apparently they are the most poisonous caterpillar in North America.

Off Topic / Has anyone been watching Westworld?

« on: October 16, 2016, 11:07:21 PM »

Been watching since the premiere 2 weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. The story progression has been really interesting and fairly deep, and the whole AI theme is intriguing.

Suggestions & Requests / Half-Cubes, split vertically

« on: June 26, 2016, 08:06:06 PM »

I have seen half cubes that are split horizontally, but not ones split vertically. Does anyone know of a brick pack that does this, or can anyone spare the time to make them for me?

Off Topic / Birthday Giveaway (Reroll on page 8)

« on: April 14, 2016, 02:55:43 PM »

So, my birthday is coming up soon (April 18th) and I knew I could easily have made a post about it here on its own, but that's lame. Instead, I decided I would give away the games in my inventory + some more that I just bought with leftover steam wallet. The prize pool is composed of 8 games that range from $1 to $30 for a total value of ~$120.

I only have 3 rules for the giveaway:
1) In your post, say specifically what game/s you would like to win.
2) You can only opt in for a maximum value of $30 dollars, so if GAME 1 is $30 that's all you can ask to win.
3) If you win, make sure to PM me either your steam name or email or you won't get your prize.

Games (If a game is on sale, the actual price is listed):

- Civilization 5 ($30)
- Thief ($30)
- Mount your friends x3 (All included - $15)
- Ori and the Blind Forest ($20)
- Garry's Mod ($10)
- Rainbow Six: Vegas ($10)
- Devil Daggers ($5)
- Obligatory Bad Rats (Priceless)

The winners:

Ori and the Blind Forest - Nobot (~8%)

Thief - Teneksi (~13%)

Civilization 5 - XR-7 (~8%)

Devil Daggers - TristanLuigi (20%)

Garry's Mod - Neth (~14%)

Bad Rats - HULKHOGAN (33%)

Rainbow Six: Vegas - Honno (~8%)

Mount Your Friends 1 - Drydess (~14%)

Mount Your Friends 2 - Port (~16%)

Mount Your Friends 3 - TristanLuigi (~20%)


Your chances of winning are listed next to your name. In order to receive your prize, you have to PM me the steam user or email of the account you want to recieve the prize. If you planned on giving your winnings to someone, and the game you won is not Civ5, Thief, or RS:V then you need to send me the account of that someone due to any of the other games not being tradable.

* Notice: I changed my mind about the previous statement I made with letting people put their steam accounts in their posts, as it is causing some complications. If you do not PM me by the 20th, your game will be rerolled.

Off Topic / Good password managers?

« on: March 29, 2016, 03:14:31 PM »

I need a good password manager, but both the ones I have tried out seems to be flawed in some way.

Ones I have already tried:

- Dashlane
- LastPass

EDIT: I'm looking for the ability to create random strings, and the ability to access through mobile, specifically sync my account on mobile, for free.

Off Topic / How do I become more tolerant

« on: March 12, 2016, 12:50:07 AM »

Recently I have come to a realization that I am generally very intolerant to both other peoples opinions and change. I look at news casts showing declining religious rates in the west and in my head know I should be happy for the people, but in reality all I can feel is anger towards the idea. Similar cases with topics such as gay marriage and transgender rights, as I know there is nothing wrong with people being what they want but I also can't get rid of intolerant and also probably incorrect ideals in my head. Note that I don't think like this because of my religion, and also not a very religious person myself. Am I just messed up in the head or is it normal to have this much conflict? I honestly want to become more tolerant and if anyone knows of any way of doing so, please share.

Modification Help / Mixed smooth shading in Blender to Blockland

« on: February 14, 2016, 09:33:50 PM »

Ignoring the color and obvious placement issue, is there anyway I can get mixed shading in Blockland (i.e, having some faces flat and others smooth.) through either ports or the original Blender exporter?

« on: February 02, 2016, 02:51:55 PM »

I saw that the trailer was put out today, and was instantly excited. I played the stuff out of the original games, and for the most part they are why I loved legos so much.

for anyone interested, here is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IJqIzO_YM
