Rating: 9/10 (if only he was an inch longer)Īdvice: You can't go wrong buying one. He is cool but he could be much better if he was a little longer. Update: Flint is a little short and I want it deep. If any employee from BD reads this: Release a long version of Flint! All the same, he is one of my favorites and the best textured toy I own. You know, the only thing I would change is his lenght. I imagine that medium firmness would be quite painful on him. Soft was the right decision for me because I could never use him otherwise. It took me a while to get used to the size. ![]() Small Flint is a huge toy! Oh, I was not prepared for how huge he is. I had difficulties getting one from the adoption page so I ordered one to be made for me. Definitely my second favorite toy.įlint must be one of the most popular toys. Rating: 9/10 (I think a large would be a 10/10)Īdvice: Get one, it is very easy to take and entirely awesome. It also has a ring on the lower part of the shaft that I can't feel at all syduck: The shaft has no texture and therefore it's a thrusting toy. But medium still is big enough and the head, oh the head is wonderfull! I like deep stimulation and I don't know what it is about the head but it hits a point no other BD toy does. Who would have guessed that it would become one of my favorites? For a medium BD toy it is under-sized. BUT this toy is all about how you use him and therefore I needed some time to get used to him. At first I thought that he is a stabby tiny little thing with nothing to recommend him to me. It's a shame that I misunderstood him when I got him. If you are into big dildos and like to fantasize about, well, big things, get it. I don't miss him.Īdvice: This is a niche thing. I don't know if the harder firmness would have made a difference for me. You can't use the knot vaginally and the upper part is a little floppy in medium firmness. But large Elden becomes bigger towards the knot and my thesis is that the entrance of the vagina can't feel as much. I must admit, that I like toys that are bigger at the tip or the middle of the shaft. Maybe if you like the fantasy that something big is fucking you, then it will be more attractive to you. The toy is easy to use, not poky at all and the textures are prominent. I rarely use him as he doesn't bringe something special to the table - some distincive sensation. I guess it's an ok toy, but it doesn't appeal to me like some other toys in my collection. Soft is said to be so floppy that it cannot stand and falls over all the time and firm on huge textured toy is never a good idea imo. I believe that the medium firmness was a good decision. When I was shopping last Black Friday and saw a flop, I picked him up to give him a try. What should I tell you about Elden? I was drawn to the nice design and I read a few crazy reviews about him.

![]() The idea of putting a Tinted Windows module on my Counciler's Limo to reduce influence costs, or a Quantum Communications module on the Drop ship to increase science output seems not only fitting but would allow us to add a bit of personality to the individual system leaders while better complimenting their strengths or shoring up weaknesses. To keep parity between 'admiral' and 'governor' heroes, why not? If it's not a terribly confusing or time consuming thing to implement. +1 Super-duper hero modules from curiosities! But with the caveat that:ī) There are modules specifically designed to work well for more than just battle although I don't know how this could help counselors and overseers, unless they add the capability for ship modules to give governor bonuses. Also, there were more effects that referenced terrain types a lot of the time, which we definitely can do here too, but it tends to happen differently.Īlso the starting features are usually not abilities that scale well in power over the game.īut yeah, if Curiosity modules were more often Hero restricted and we could get things like additional Hero ship module slots through skills in the Generic tree or the Class tree, we'd be able to have cooler Heroes and lessen the impact of the RNG from Curiosity modules.Ĭuriosity modules restricted to hero is nice idea! I dont know why I hasn't proposed it yet myself, it is so obvious) In EL at least, all (or at least the vast majority) of the weapons and items you got from ruins were exclusive to your Heroes, so they could get away with really bonkers effects and bonuses and appearances. I think the biggest reason they feel a little underwhelming is there are no Modules for Heroes anymore, and a lot of the skills feel a bit like copy-paste numerical bonuses. ![]() Sorry for mah english,not native speaker. In my vision i was inspired by "darkstar one" space sim. Would like to see your vision on that question pals. Even more,the system can be scalable,so that if where is 10 fights the stakes for happiness penalty would be higher and higher. When one hero faces another for three times in a row it then its called "battle for honor" and first who will win would get happiness boost to the empire. Make heroes duel to each other when they are in space battle(if each of them are guardian at least,but this can be discussed)ĥ. For example each new slot for a ship would cost twice as more ship artifact more,likeĤ. From a lore wise this can be viewed as retrieved artifacts of "concrete". Add new resource-ship artifacts,that you will gather for completing quests,banishing pirate lairs,surveing map after it was revealed (mechanics close to pearls from endless legend) and helping minors.

Tag movie producer Todd Garner told Nerdist, "In real life, there's been tags at births, funerals, inceptions of kids, for real." No exact details were given on how the tag at the birth unfolded, so the movie's version could certainly be stretching the truth (in the 2018 movie, Ed Helm's character's wife's legs are spread open in the hospital room as Jon Hamm's character comes into the room for the tag.

He did so by sneaking through the garage and finding an unlocked house door. and broke into the house where two other players lived. Have they broken into each other's houses in the middle of the night to get a tag? It happened in the church, not at the grave site. In real life, Patrick Schultheis was tagged at his father's funeral. Eight years later when the group was gathered together for a weekend, they reminisced about the game and the fact that Joe was still "It." Someone suggested the idea of starting the game up again. At that point, he was essentially "It" for life. Joe Tombari, who went on to become a high school teacher in Spokane, was last to be tagged. The first iteration of the game concluded when high school ended. Back then it was mainly a slap on the shoulder or arm while going in and out of classrooms, or strolling down the halls. The Tag movie's true story reveals that the decades-long game of tag began in Catholic high school in the early 1980s on the campus of Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington. "It forces us to meet and has formed a strong bond between us, almost like brothers." "The best thing about the game is that it has kept us in touch over all these years," Joe Tombari told Mirror Online. They are Bill Akers, Patrick Schultheis, Sean Raftis, Mike Konesky, Brian Dennehy, Joe Tombari, Rick Bruya, Joey Caferro, Chris Ammann and Mark Mengert. The Tag Brothers movie trims the number of tag players down to five, but in real life a total of ten friends participate in the game. ![]() Pair with Heliopolis™ privacy shelter for a spacious hands-free overhead shower.Precise folding panel design allows for lightning-fast set up and an even smaller packed size.Compact ventilated carrying case stows tank, hose, nozzle, and pump neatly.Warm in the sun or fill directly with hot water for a hot shower or dirty dishes.5-7 minutes of continuous, steady water pressure.No need to hang, sits securely on the ground and is pressurized by foot pump.7-foot neoprene sprayer hose with spray nozzle is long enough to hold overhead for a shower.Generous 2.9-gallon / 11-liter capacity.You can also leave the black tank in the sun to warm up gradually.

Here are some of the tools that an impersonator uses to fool you: And somehow a name that looks very close to the famous/reputable character is trading you from nowhere. Sometimes, unknown to you, the scammer would send you private messages to you a whole lot even though you are already next to each other. Other players will try as much as trying to come up with ways to make the font or letter look very close to the name. Previously, it was easy to find someone credible by inspecting their gear, but some scammers have gone so far as to establish themselves before starting to scam. Perfect case of impersonation is someone impersonating to be a credible person. In a world where a misspelled name is acceptable, it is different in trading.

Securing the wood can be difficult so what I did was use a roll of tape as a base to keep the ball in place and held it firmly with my hand. Next step is to drill into the center of the flat to a depth of 1.5" as per the drawings in Step 1. Consider where you place the flat based on the wood grain so that it looks nice. This can be done easily on the belt sander or by hand. If you have the ability to do so, I encourage you to make your own! The first step is to add a flat to the knob where the insert will go. I will confess that I bought the wood sphere because the local craft store sells them for $2.30 for use as doll heads, and I do not have the skills or the correct tools to turn my own wood sphere. |
