Flipz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Aaand now I remember why I always ask other people to build my sets: all of my lighting setups suck. The good news, though, is that I got a lot of photos taken, so at least there's progress on that front. (The neutral news is that this isn't for the upcoming Diana Quest--that still needs significant set help--but fortunately I've basically designed this entire project over three or four days total, so it's not that much time taken away from their development. ) Quote
K-Nut Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Is this that Level 1 quest you were talking about a while back? I'm intrigued. Quote
CMP Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Aaand now I remember why I always ask other people to build my sets: all of my lighting setups suck. I take all mine on the corner of a desk and brighten it up in post, it's not as important as you think. I almost want to show a before-and-after picture of one of my sets. They aren't great when I take them. Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Right. 138ers, I feel an explanation is in order. I recently changed schools after 9 years at my old one, due to my teaching requirements not being fulfilled. I won't go into details, but it was a bad situation. So for the past couple of weeks my schedule, and indeed, my life, has been somewhat hectic. Stuff is winding down now, so I should be able to post more regularly. Just don't expect any big RP conversations outside of the weekends. Really sorry for not being able to explain sooner, but as my hastily-posted message yesterday explained, it's sorta hard. On the bright side, though, I think it's become that I can resume normal activity! Thanks for your patience, everyone! -TCM. Quote
CMP Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Well, actually, that depends on the size of the set. Most of mine are like two walls and a floor, at best. Quote
Flipz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Is this that Level 1 quest you were talking about a while back? I'm intrigued. It is indeed. Sent in the pitch, just have to double-check my photos and do a couple re-shoots and it should be 100% ready to go.

They aren't great when I take them. Well, actually, that depends on the size of the set. Most of mine are like two walls and a floor, at best. Well, I mean...to call mine "sets" plural is sort of a disservice to sets in general...in this case it's more like "how many different ways can I re-shoot the same set set of two vegetation-covered baseplates to look like different places". I suddenly have a new respect for Jurassic Park's obsession with setting all their action scenes in the jungle. Quote
Sandy Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 Semi-bad news, guys! I installed Windows 10 to my computer the other day, and it totally screwed everything over. I have to take my computer to maintenance, which will make me unable to do proper updates for at least a few days. Hopefully I'll get it fixed quickly! Quote
Palathadric Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Shucks! I heard returning to Windows 7/8.1 or whatever can be a painful process as well. Quote
Asphalt Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Sorry to hear it Sandy. I will be waiting for a few months before going for the update. Quote

The wearer gains double experience in battle. Accessory), Steel Knife (WP: 12, throwing weapon) How is he wearing two "accessories" and two weapons?

I have to take my computer to maintenance, which will make me unable to do proper updates for at least a few days. Hopefully I'll get it fixed quickly! Ouch! Same thing happened to me two days after I upgraded. Went three days without a proper working computer. If you reinstall Windows 10 it should work, just use the media center Microsoft released, download it onto a disc or USB, set it up to install another PC and then plug it into your computer and it should work. At least it did for me. On a different note, you know you've been reading a lot of Heroica when it starts to influence your dreams. When I woke up I was convinced I made some posts regarding making a new quest. Quote

Flipz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Nope, he's already been crated, labeled, and shipped to the warehouse--two rows down and six over from the Ark, I think, third box from the top. [/joke] Quote
Flipz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I'm not installing Windows 10 until a.) I stop hearing horror stories, b.) all of my apps and games are updated, and c.) I can be sure I'll be back on my feet in time to host. No 10-fueled angst for me, thanks! Quote
KotZ Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 It's a great OS, and despite my initial problems I love it. But yeah, wait at least three more weeks for the bothans to be fixed and you'll be good to go. Quote
Flipz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 How far is the alien then? About twenty thousand grains of 1950s-era Russian gunpowder gods I'm a nerd. It's a great OS, and despite my initial problems I love it. But yeah, wait at least three more weeks for the bothans to be fixed and you'll be good to go. Yes, I'm immensely grateful to the guinea pigs early adopters whose troubleshooting will ensure my Heroica participation goes uninterrupted. I hear that many have died to bring us this information. ...say, where is Brickdoctor these days? I'd love to throw the Fields at him, take my own shot at Docken now that I know tanks' fatal weakness. Quote
KotZ Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I'm on mobile right now in class and I guess my autocorrect switched bugs to bothans. Quote
Endgame Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I updated to Win10 on day one. Took an hour, and have had exactly zero problems. Quote

The correct response is that it's hidden in the back so nobody will ever mention it again. Quote
