Off Topic / Suggest a nice laptop for your good ol' buddy Furdle?

« on: June 13, 2016, 05:52:13 AM »

Hello friends.
It's my 21st next month and I want to get a laptop from my parents. But first I need to find the right one for me.
Looking for a mid to low range laptop, its primary uses will be to take to Malawi with me to do my designs on (and share photos that I take with the people of the forums) and then when I return, I'll be using it in university to take notes in lectures.
Thanks.

Games / Gloria Victis - All of Furdle's dreams have been answered.

« on: June 10, 2016, 03:51:45 AM »

Hello friends.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=225671457

Gloria Victis is a medieval MMORPG with a focus on PvP, crafting, and character progression.

Here's my review so far (Alpha)

+ Chivalry style combat
+ PvP works really well
+ Realistic crafting system

+ Game looks great

- No quests
- Crafting system can take a while

- Its still in development so there's quite a few bugs right now

Off Topic / Blogland, what do you think about this?

« on: May 30, 2016, 08:04:22 PM »

I don't tend to post on forums much about real personal stuff, but I honestly want to know what the people of the forum think.

I live in a student apartment with 4 other people, randomly selected. One of the guys study's the same degree as me.
This friend struggled with a few pieces of work, so I helped him code throughout the year. I also smoked lots of weed with him (I always would buy the weed, literally every time, I never asked for any of it back) I would also never ask for money in return, as that's just how I roll. He would usually say "I'll buy you a massive bit one day and you can have it!"

A couple weeks ago, he decides to drop out of university. The night that we were working on a group project. Literally landed me straight in a pile of stuff. I had to do the presentation myself because he didn't want to do it.
That's not what im pissed off about. I was a little pissed off with that but I figured he'd make it up to me. He didn't.

When he moved out, he came into my room and gave me a half bag, probably only worth £10. Definitely no way near what he owed me. I decided to roll with it since its better than no effort at all.

So let's fast forward to today. He makes YouTube intros for cash and has done for various channels. I am looking to start a channel on September, so i asked him for a 5 second intro. He said he'd do it for £100. That's like $160(I think). I told him that I honestly thought he is loving joking and he said no.

A bit of background on him, he's a Annoying Orange supporter and a 20 year old virgin. Only cares about money. His Facebook is literally him sharing posts from those businessmen on Facebook posting bullstuff.



What's your thoughts on this?

Off Topic / How do I factory reset my phone when the screen is broke? [Sony Z3]

« on: May 30, 2016, 03:42:45 PM »

Hey forums.
Going to sell my phone, but the screen is completely forgeted and I can't do anything on it.
Its a Z3, so even with a broken screen, I could still get a good deal! There's no point replacing the screen because once its been cracked once, it'll always be stuff. Plus I've already got it repaired 3rd party so Sony won't touch it.

Right now I'm trying to factory reset it but I can't since the screen is borked. Any ideas?

Tried to do this method but its outdated and no longer works:

Off Topic / Anybody have experience with Blacksmithing/Metalwork?

« on: May 22, 2016, 04:48:35 AM »

So last night I couldn't sleep. In fact its 10:45am right now and I didn't get any sleep last night over stress from my exams.

While I couldn't sleep, I browsed YouTube and came across Blacksmithing videos. I used to do metal work when I was in school and I was really good at it, but after I left school all I did was carpentry. (The three month Malawi carpentry project of 2014)
This summer I'll be back in Malawi for two months doing more carpentry and some designing too, but when I get back to university next year I'll be in a house, where I can get a good blacksmithing set up. I'm looking to drop £400 ($600USD) on a full set up. Already made a wishlist on amazon which comes just under £400.
Anyway, my favourite video I've found so far was by a channel called ZNA Productions with a forge appropriately titled 'Satan's Toilet' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XO1rE7v44g

Anybody do some metal work of their own? Maybe show some photos, I'm sure some of you will have made blades and stuff.
Also if you have photos of your workshops that'd be cool too.

Off Topic / I destroyed all the metal parts in my shower by accident.

« on: May 20, 2016, 08:38:18 AM »

Last night I came home drunk and thought it would be a really good idea to clean my shower, I emptied a bottle of limescale remover all over my shower.
Unfortunately, I didn't see the bottle says "not suitable for stainless steel" because of the hydrochloric acid.
Now all the metal parts of the shower are forgeted, below is a photo of the bar that holds the shower head, it looks a lot worse in person which you can't really tell in the photo.

The real problem: I move out in two weeks, they're going to forget me with my deposit if I don't make this look reasonably decent. My apartment is only two years old, and they knew that it wasn't forgeted before I moved out.
Any idea what I can do to restore the stainless steel?

Need responses for a university project, it literally takes 10 seconds to fill out.
Last one got over 100 responses and it locks you out if its 100+ so I had to clear it and start a new one.

Thanks.

Comment "done" when you've finished it to get your super cool prize.

All done. Thanks for all who contributed, your PM prizes will be awarded in 2020.
You may still do the questionnaire, however the results will not be accounted for and you will be wasting your own time.
Have a nice day.

Games / LA Noir makes me angry

« on: April 29, 2016, 04:48:14 PM »

LA noir makes me angry because they have ruined a really good game with some lame ass protagonist wet flannel. I have never played a game with such an unlikeable protagonist and it makes me so angry because it's ruined the game for me.

At least it looks great on my projector.
No spoilers please, right now I'm on the first arson mission
