I'm planning to give Garry's Mod as a gift to a friend. However, he does not own Counter-Strike Source (CSS), and this will happen if he plays it: Source: http://www.gmodcenter.com/ How does one legally apply the necessary textures without having to purchase CSS? Is it even possible to get the...

@MechanicalLoon Seven books of 2,000 pages would be "reasonable", I think.

Kevin van der Velden

@FEichinger 2000 pages is fricking huge, and I read fantasy epics

Mechanical Loon

@FEichinger Ridiculously huge epics approach 1400 pages.

MBraedley

Okay, I should get out of bed and do stuff I guess.

Frank

4:12 PM

The biggest book I have, The Way of Kings, only comes in at 1200 pages.

And that's already pretty huge.

FEichinger

@MechanicalLoon I'm well aware. I'm just saying that's a cornerstone. I mean, the point of the whole thing would be that it's frigging huge.

Could be more books with less pages, but it'd be "workable", if you will.

Frank

Seriously? This got reopened? Now it needs more close votes again.

FEichinger

@FEIchinger There is no blanket ban on mod recommendations anymore as per the Arqade Meta post, Is “mod rec” really an umbrella category that we want to use? Or is it confusing the situation? — galacticninja Dec 17 at 5:44

@FEichinger And I don't see a damn thing in any of that that's asking for mods.

It's a completely subjective question.

FEichinger

@kalina I did not.

@KevinvanderVelden There were good moments, but there were significantly more boring, long-winded passages where nothing happened, which is why I couldn't get through it.

I made an argument to explain why it was reopened.

Kevin van der Velden

I finished the last book in a weekend... which was not the smartest idea

But I disagree with that argument myself.

From what I can remember (which is probably inaccurate), Wheel of Time just spent way too much time on extraneous detail for me to keep with the series.

@Yuki it spent quite a bit of time on (seemingly and actually) extraneous details. But there were several instances of things in very early books coming important halfway through.

Like seam removal.

OrigamiRobot

Then I get to experiment with different furnace designs.

Jin

@Frank the best tip I got years ago was the "Max Effect." basically it's airbrushing the white parts as a light gray first, then airbrush white on top of it, so you get that nice gradient effect

Frank

@Jin I saw a video of airbrushing the edging with black, and then applying your color on top of it.

I'm just not sure how well that would work with the Unicorn, since it's almost pure white.

Then getting out of the area before anyone called the cops.
