the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

apparently the giant bird in dark souls 2 that carries the pursuer into its fight has three legs, but you can't see that detail in the cutscene

i approve of this (though not the can't-see-it part)

@owashii@plush.city (they tell you not to spray them upside down because getting that stuff on your skin would give you cold burns in short order, but other than that it's not actually any more dangerous than using it normally)
-F

@owashii@plush.city those can dusters are useful

we have one at work that we keep around purely for rapidly cooling DUTs down to see if some behaviour we're seeing is thermal-related--the spray out of them is cold and gets colder as you spray it, and if you spray them upside down you can get out liquid whatever refrigerant they use (usually butane or one of several fluorinated hydrocarbons), which has a boiling point of between around -50°C and 0°C, depending on the refrigerant

@Austin_Dern @tabitha@chitter.xyz no i mean it pretty much exactly the way you're thinking, but less even be-quotation-mark-ed "horror"; just as a Thing You Can Do

@astra @heatherhorns it may be possible to anodize gold if you do it in an atmosphere of hydrogen chloride or possibly pure chlorine

that would be Very Impractical though
-F

@astra @heatherhorns i can think of some ways to do that but uh

is it possible to anodize nickel?

it's usually aluminum or stainless steel that gets anodized for those anodized metal products but neither of those can be deposited on a circuit board

i thought about the possibility of anodizing a 100% tin HASL but i'm not sure that would work because HASL isn't very flat

if you could get a PCB fab to do ENIG but skip the IG part you could get nickel on a board though
-F

@astra @heatherhorns ah, I suppose the final will use ENIG then? (hard gold would be more durable but probably not worth the expense)

it'd be kinda neat if you could selectively anodize some metal on a PCB to whatever color you want
-F

@astra @heatherhorns Well, technically that's not copper but the HASL finish on top of copper! It'd be copper colored if you were looking at the actual copper

if you want it silvery you have to go with HASL (preferably lead-free) or immersion silver finish; you can also get gold by using ENIG, ENEPIG, or hard gold finish, or you can get it copper colored by using OSP finish (note however that immersion silver will tarnish over time, OSP will degrade and the underlying copper will oxidize, and HASL will go dull in time--that's one reason why most PCBs that do this use ENIG (the other reason is that ENIG is also the most popular finish))

@tabitha@chitter.xyz some very particular sorts of gore (specifically when it's non-harmful but you can just like, take out and play with your heart or liver or brain or whatever, usually through modularity but also through being so multi-bodied that individual bodies are disposable), as well as eyes. i just have a Thing for eyes

in the latter case, i think about this sort of look a lot: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31947599/ (robot with neat eye setup) and i love the idea of an organic version of that

-F

well, we've finished live a live

good game. i hope the upcoming remake does it justice; square enix has shown they have some pretty unpredictable quality when it comes to remakes--sometimes you get a final fantasy 7 remake, and sometimes you get a chrono cross radical dreamers edition
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz *offers soft hugs*
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz yeah, i can understand that

we've kinda tried to surround ourselves with the sort of people who wouldn't do that
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz yes but being criticised for it was never the concern
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz i'm having a really hard time following this conversation right now, i thought you replied to that a long time ago???

sorry a little overwhelmed with words

i think it would be perfectly valid for people to mind and i am not worried about people minding in the "mock us and/or be disgusted at us" way, i'm worried about people minding in the "this is a thing they don't like seeing and will impact their mental state negatively" way
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz we're not afraid of being judged for it, i just don't want to upset people with it
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz i dunno some of this stuff is probably stuff people will mind and i think it would be perfectly reasonable for them to
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz we keep some of the weirder stuff off of here because we don't want to scare people off

but generally we find the weird stuff to be attractive
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz we like weird
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz I don't know Rose's feelings on that kind of stuff, zhe tends to be pretty quiet and task-focused

would be nice to get hir to be more social but i'm not going to push hir
-F

@tabitha@chitter.xyz we're definitely an exception, i don't think rose is interested in sex things at all
-F
