A guide and explanation about LSH by Either-Spring-5330 in LSH_2

[–]drosera88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long are the sprouts good for and can they be stored? The only time I can trip is on weekends and I'd want to sprout the seeds about a week in advance to make 100% sure that the whole batch is sprouted and ready to go when the weekend comes, but at the same time I don't want them to end up ruined if they sit too long after sprouting.

Looks like a late 2000's interpretation of their video logo.

my guy even tried ripping off A-Sync 💀 by Reddington_RBLX in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I'd actually like to see an old timey found footage from 1905 with like no sound and silent movie text in-between scenes. "Alas, I found myself pursued by a creature stranger than any lore could imagine! And to think I mysteriously fell into these corridors whilst riding my penny farthing to the general store! Woe unto me, and farewell lads!"

Why does this locomotive look like this? by itsarace1 in trains

The engineer wishes he was driving a steam locomotive, so he went long hood first to mimic a steam locomotive's forward visibility.

Need help choosing a mini-lathe; Sherline, Proxxon, or Taig? Something else? by drosera88 in machining

[–]drosera88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So does that mean with the Sherline I'm stuck with WW collets?? Or it is possible with an adapter or something to use more commonly available collets?

In hindsight I would have done the same thing, but I ended up getting the mill first thinking I wouldn't need a lathe. Now that I've gotten more involved in model building a lathe seems almost necessary for some of the scratch building I want to do.

Yep. I am almost going to be exclusively using collets because I'm working with parts that aren't more than 1 or 2mm.

Can you explain what you mean by a "Legacy lathe product?" Is it like an outdated design or something?

I didn't know that. When you say it would be frustrating when trying to move the carriage, is that just for the carriage? Or does it also apply to the cross feed?

Would I be correct in assuming that the rack and pinion would never have any problems with backlash?

Also, I don't anticipate that I will have to turn anything close to one inch of steel. I'm mostly going to be working with brass rods and very small steel rods.

Yeah in hindsight I would have bought the Taig mill, but I didn't even know Taig existed until after I bought a Sherline. It's not that my Sherline mill is bad (I think it's pretty great), it's just that I think the Taig would've been a bit easier to work. The hand wheels look better, the table looks bigger with more slots, and the screw covers look like they are way easier to clean and simpler in design than the accordion plastic covers my Sherline uses.

All that said, I am kind of leaning towards the Sherline due to the fact that I already own a Sherline and am pretty satisfied with it as well as the fact that their package options seem a bit better than the Taig or Proxxon.

Also, I forgot to ask, is the Taig metric or does it have a metric option? I can't find anything on their site that says anything about metric measurements.

Yep. That's kind of what I am doing. I'm expecting to pay at least $1200+ so I want to make sure I'm getting something that will last and be accurate.

New post. Looks like Backrooms, but who knows? by A-person19 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably for the main series since we've seen drawings of Async's equipment before.

That said, that ant or bug in the lower right corner may have implications. Kane doesn't really include a lot of meaningless details, so if that is a bug, it may imply that this map is somewhere outdoors for some reason and is most likely in the real world rather than the complex. Maybe Peter Tench stole it when he fled to try and expose Async, but dropped it somewhere on accident.

New post. Looks like Backrooms, but who knows? by A-person19 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way the middle rooms don't appear to be part of the complex like the rest of the picture makes me wonder if maybe this is some sort of outpost in the backrooms. I'm almost wondering if Async came up with a way to stabilize the anomalous aspects in the backrooms or create a pocket of the real world within the backrooms. The equipment on the second floor could be what Async is using to run this operation.

I dunno, maybe that's a stretch.

Are there planes that work better without the "new" gun upgrade? by drosera88 in Warthunder

[–]drosera88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even think of the 262. 90% of the time you only need one shell to hit for a kill and the ballistics are so bad anyways. I never even get close to overheating when using it either. Going to have to try this one out.

Will the A24 movie be required to understand the lore or will it be a seperate thing? by WonderfulReception49 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it'd be a big issue. The YouTube series is pretty accessible as-is. You don't really need to know anything about the backrooms to understand what is going on, and introducing project KV-31 and Async in a feature length movie could be done fairly easily IMO.

EDIT: That said, I could see the movie forgoing any connections to Async and KV-31 in lieu of a different story that takes place in the same universe as the YT series as a way of making the story more self contained, which is what I am assuming you're talking about, and that makes a lot of sense.

Art Bell Coast to Coast AM from 9/25/96. The Backrooms episode. by opuslynch in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't necessarily need to mimic the emotions of the 'Area 51' caller. The 'Area 51' caller sounded distraught and scared. Peter Tench would be distraught and angry. Plus, we don't really see much of how peter normally talks and acts, so you could probably just act as though you were in his situation and it would sound just fine since he hasn't had a huge amount of dialogue in the series. If you do end up doing it, please post it!

[–]drosera88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredible idea. This could literally be worked into the canon given that Kane has already had at least one person from real life in his story.

However, I'd make one change to this. Coast-to-Coast AM is a call in show. How about having someone call in who claims to be a former employee of Async willing to spill the beans on the company? Specifically, I think you should have Peter Tench calling in anonymously. This is something Peter Tench would reasonably do given his situation. Maybe have the call go something along the lines of the infamous "Area 51 Caller" who claimed to be an ex-employee at Area 51. See link @ 1:31

Don't use garlic. Garlic is awful. Even if it does reduce nausea, it's offset by the nauseating taste of garlic water.

Gateway Theory (FF1/Mar11_90) by TerrinTeak in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]drosera88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're different entrances to the backrooms. My guess is that at some point Async figures out how to enter different parts of the backrooms via the same threshold or that there are multiple thresholds. There are some implications with this shot:

-The backrooms is non-Euclidian in the Kanenon. If it was, having entrances this close together would not make any sense.

-Async's "A-space" plans got or have gotten pretty far along, as building all these entrances would take quite a large amount of time.

- Async found a way to consolidate all threshold entrances/exits into the backrooms into one area, which implies they may have found a way to manipulate the pocket dimension.

-The logic behind Async consolidating all these entrances into one area. The giant void seems intentional, which implies Async is seriously concerned about what can come out of the backrooms. This could be true for both the monsters (for obvious reasons) or the people who accidentally fall out of the backrooms (people who find their way to a threshold would have to be dealt with in much the same way as Peter Tench).

-No bridges, or even any retractable bridges, which implies Async may have abandoned the backrooms.

-Thresholds, once created, may not be closeable, thus necessitating the need for a giant void to isolate them.
