Hex's 2021 Media Thread Archive (2021 Part 2)

SSSS.Dynazenon was a fun watch I decided to pick up because I had some friends who were really about it. I had watched Gridman before and that one had a slow start but I loved the heart put into it during the later half with Anti and other characters getting some big moments. This sequel was a lot better overall, although I must regret I don't really remember much about it at this point in time so it didn't stick with me that hard. Like most trigger works for me it's a good and fun watch but won't leave me thinking about it forever :P.

Kamen Rider Blade was a really great watch! Every now and then I'll just binge a Kamen Rider for the hell of it which is how I've gotten a decent knowledge on the series (my favorite is OOO if you were curious) and this one is real special. It introduces maybe my least favorite rider ever who just sucks shit all the time in Mutsuki, who imo doesn't even get that great a resolution, but it also introduces one of my favorite riders ever with Hajime aka Chalice. It's a real slow burn with a lot of ups and downs but the ending is something really special and I just love the suits and belt gimmick of this one :).

Lobotomy Corporation made me really need to get one after playing it. Because this is Tumblr and my friends are LGBT or allies I don't need to talk too in depth about why I love this game because there's hundreds of other women who will snarl and froth over it. If you're curious my favorite Abnormality is Knight of Despair and my favorite character was either Netzach or Chesed.

Lobotomy Corporation: Wonderlab. Even more proof I'm definitely normal, I read this entire thing in a day after finishing Lobcorp. I love and adore the designs in this comic and it's really tragic they ended it so soon. But I'd definitely recommend it if you loved the game!

Blaster Master Zero 3 is one of my favorite games that Inticreates has made. I picked a wonderful time to get into this series as the third game was only a couple months away after I had finished the previous two and it was so exciting actually playing a game the second it released again and going through it all 100% in one sitting. Everything about it just plays so good and I love how well they mixed mechanics with narrative in this one. Also if you know the source of my icon you can tell a certain scene had a big impact on me.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is a great way to play FF1 if you don't want any of the bonus content from the GBA/PSP releases but still want some quality of life such as a minimap and generally easier battles. I think when I go for my inevitable FF1 replays I'll probably aim for PSP just cause I actually like the extra content but this is definitely one of the better deals for the pixel remasters if you're interested in checking the series out :).

Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games I played growing up, and in 2021 I experienced it again using a specific emulator set up to emulate the trilogy and bind your camera movement to the mouse, turning the game into a Mouse and Keyboard style game. While I think the Prime trilogy actually feels like one of the better FPS series to play with controller it was still a fun and easily accessible way to trek through a game I've played before.

Psychonauts 2 is probably one of the games that's closest to being a perfect sequel that I've ever played. Most the time with these revivals of old IPs you have to temper some expectations after so many years have passed and accept some flaws from the process of making a newer more modern entry but for me this game feels exactly like what I'd want from a Psychonauts sequel and it doesn't lose the heart that made the first game (which is one of my favorite games ever) such a special experience. The narrative was really touching and they really knocked all the different level themes out of the park in such a satisfying way. Please play both of these games if you haven't and can tolerate a 3d platformer with some collectathon elements.

No More Heroes 3 is a game I don't know how to go about describing why it's so cool and fun to anyone who doesn't know the series and already get the appeal. Instead of spending forever explaining all that I'll just say the bosses in this one are probably the best in the series in terms of overall quality with no super aggressive difficulty spikes but some can still get you if you're careless. In particular my favorite is the "RPG" boss fight the dialogue is so goofy in that one.

Touhou Luna Nights doesn't try to hide it's inspirations (like all Touhou fangames really) and instead creates a really unique Castlevania-themed game focused around throwing a megaton of knives in various ways and finding out how to interact with everything using time slowdown/stop mechanics. The game can be pretty tricky trying to learn how to manage all your resources but after enough upgrades and time spent it's extremely easy to shred through enemies (and even bosses) in a very satisfying way. Any game where you can stop time and stand on your own knives as platforms will always be cool.

Warioware Get it Together was a fun timesink and had pretty good systems in place to get you to replay a bunch of microgames with its online elements, but unfortunately I never really spent as much time with it as I wanted to. It was very fun with so many ways to complete every microgame with all these characters who play differently and I hope they keep this series going!

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance - Shard of Dreams (Extended) - is the last game I'm going to put on this archive post and it's a real special one. While I adore pokemon as a series and am probably one of the people who can't bring myself to dislike an entry in the series, this game combines it with one of my biggest interests in such a special way that it's probably my favorite Touhou fangame as well as my favorite Pokemon fangame. Even with official content only there's characters from Every Single Game (and even the books!) from Touhou 1 all the way to 12 (15 with shard of dreams), and there's a very high quality mod in SoD Extended that adds in all the missing characters so you can play with all of them, as well as balancing trainers around all the new content they add for these characters and making the game less of a stomp and sometimes an actual real challenge. The customization of a puppets EVs (and eventually IVs) along with being able to freely switch natures and learn/forget moves as long as you have enough points means that there's a very high chance no two playthroughs will ever feel alike, and the typing chart fits in really well with no types feeling too powerful compared to the other cause no matter what there will always be a trainer that just folds one of your puppets out of nowhere. As a bonus while I sign this post off, for my playthrough I used a gimmick team where I could only have one puppet from every 3 games (ex: if i choose sakuya i can't use any other puppets from 4-6, if i choose nazrin that's 10-12, etc.) and it ended up being both a bit of a challenge but also very fun to try and get good type coverage. See y'all in the next archive which should be the final one for 2021!

Headcanons on what the FNF crew think of various mods

-Boyfriend really liked Vs Tricky, mostly out of being a long time Madness combat fan. He's still practicing to actually sing that fast. He's obviously a fan of a lot of mods where his GF has the spotlight too, ofc. "Nothing beats her actually singing in person, though", according to him.

-Being a longtime horror fan, GF naturally navigates to a lot of the creepypasta/horror mods. She actually liked Hypno's Lullaby enough to catch a Hypno in her latest Leaf Green play through. Of course, she's very adamant in the ending being completely inaccurate and that Hypno would have been a free sidewalk paint job should she actually try and hurt her man. The only horror mod she really doesn't like all that much is Mario Madness and, yes, it's for the ending. Plus her powers being gone, which she just thought was lame.. Really, any mod that has Boyfriend dying in it, she'll counter with a very stubborn, "Nah he'd win IRL. Source: trust me, I'm dating him and he's very cool."

-Daddy Dearest isn't big on the mod scene. Out of curiosity, he downloaded Vs Whitty when it first dropped, gave up on his fifth retry on Ballistic, uninstalled and it is now very strictly canon-only. He doesn't know who Garcello, or Carol, or Tabi are, and he'd prefer to keep it that way.

-Mommy on the other hand, got really into perfectling every mod people claimed were impossible difficult. She can beat stuff like Expurgation and Fool Hardy with only the arrow keys. She also leaves posts on her social medias, leaving little reviews and thoughts on some of the mods she plays, while bragging about how throughout she crushed them. Her last five Twitter posts were a thread on how MMV2's ending was wrong and dumb and wrong

-Skid and Pump liked Don't Get Spooked

-Pico mostly gravitates to mods that have him in it, which there are a handful, but he really wishes characters like Hex were canon, so he could probably rap with them IRL. He mostly just goes with whatever mods BF recommends to him, who mostly consist of 'Vs characters' from fandoms that Pico really isn't interested in. He does vibe with 'Shell Shocker' from Infernal Bout, though.

-You'd think Monster would like the corruption mods, right? Nope, corrupting others isn't as fun as flat out killing them in his eyes. He also doesn't' play any mods, but will give respect to any that happen to feature him, double especially if they give him a song. He really liked 'Boogieman'.

-John is another case where mods don't interest him, but he'll pop in one if he's bored. He mostly goes for the mods that bring back those old Newgrounds days, so he's also a big Vs Tricky enjoyer. He's one of the few who do like the mods where BF and GF flatout die.

[uncle-dusknoir]

SHIT I forgot I should do one of those pinned posts explaining who I am. i mean probably i kinda like the mystery but eh whatever.

im Basil. unovan. she/her. Hex Maniac "curse fanatic" by circumstance.

blog title source - personal curse tracker

I've got Toothpaste, he's a shiny Obstagoon and my baby boy; Thyme, that Dusknoir, my uncle; Jupetta, a Banette, Thyme's Pokemon before he turned into a Dusknoir.

There's also Skorna, the bone Runerigus. She's just a pest.

Deckard, a white-furred Zorua (NOT HISUIAN) i found in my backyard. He's baby

Mint, a Sneasel I got as a gift from a friend of mine 💜 she's very bity

I've also got a new Poryphone named Porypory. it speaks in pink, is very polite.

oh and the 19 shuppet from the halloween party

... And Bluebell! An Alolan Meowth I found in the dumpster in Alola. She's a million years old and the sweetest cat in the world

image of thyme here

image of skorna here

image of toothpaste here (also me)

image of jupetta (mostly toothpaste tho)

image of deckard (and also me)

image of mint (and my arm)

this weird breloom someone let loose outside my house??

> ooc notes under the cut

9/15/23 updated her 'main' image to be more in line with how i draw her

subscribed blogs only dash (I'm really just putting this here for myself but if y'all need it idm)

my other pokeirl blogs are @crossbones-n-skull and @nifuunbakufuun!

join the hex maniac discord server! more info (kinda) in linked tumblr post. if the link is dead lmk ill fix it (discord added a thirty day link cap)

basil's cousin, sage, is over at @sage-the-exorcist (run by my friend, statik!) she currently has him blocked (its not working)

additional facts for my own reference:

skorna speaks in orange.

thyme speaks in green.

porypory speaks in pink.

jupetta, toothpaste, and deckard don't speak through the blog. (however, if given voice through an event, their text will be colored as seen.)

two voice claims that i'm debating (but i take suggestions)

family bibliography (books)

loose timeline

view the blog in chronological order here! (bear in mind there is quite a lot. lol)

Basil is 26 (as of nov 1st 2024). I'm (the mod) 20.

she lives in the woods around icirrus city, in an old house that she just... took. it was abandoned so what about it its hers now

thyme the dusknoir is her uncle. he did not die naturally.

jupetta the banette was her uncle's, but technically is hers now. she inexplicably knows Teleport.

skorna the runerigus isn't kept to a Pokeball, as she and Basil are literally bound to each other through possession bullshit.

back when thyme was alive, they did a LOT of travelling. she's primarily been to galar and kalos, but have stopped in every region at least once. only place they haven't been to is paldea, and that's because thyme isn't allowed in because he tried to go in the crater

thyme had a TV show.

mun is aromantic, but Basil is bisexual with a female lean

post detailing Basil and Skorna's connection

old ref image, for archival purposes:

if anyone ever wants to plot anything, feel free to dm me! I'm always down, could be fun. I just don't do "in-person" RP on Tumblr- this is strictly a social media site for the character. update- i will rarely do off-rotumblr RP, but it is not going to be frequent. all threads will be completely under readmores

note that, while Basil most likely won't be super active in high-stakes plotlines, i might have her react to some, especially if i find them interesting. she's no main character.

if you want your character to know basil out-of-rotumblr, feel free to DM me here on tumblr! my PMs, unless specified are an ooc-only zone and im always happy to chat about rp.

(however, please keep in mind that i'm really not one for small talk that doesn't have to do with rp; i have too many bad experiences with people befriending me in my PMs and then just offloading trauma. i don't shut the fuck up in discord servers where other people are though lmao.)

on that note, i do have a discord! if you wanna invite me to any servers feel free to pm me about that too!

[blackcrowing]

1. I identify as an Irish Reconstructionist (or more generally a Celtic reconstructionist with a focus on Irish)

2. I would say that my core beliefs consist of believing in the existence of multiple gods (including those outside the Irish pantheon), a belief in unseen things (the Otherworld, spirits, etc.), and a belief that our souls are eternal and reborn in some capacity

3. personally my sense of community comes from online clusters of pagans

4. There is no specific structure to joining my religion but I would say that research is an important component to understanding and "fitting in"

5. I personally joined my religion because it resonated with me

6. I've noticed that a common thread in my religious group is a liking for history, since information about this religion normally has to be hunted and found in things like academic papers most people in this vain of religion enjoy learning historical information

7. it has no effect on my political views, but I would guess that most of us are liberal leaning

8. racial identity should have no place in my religion, but there are small pockets that are influenced by white supremacist, they are shunned by the majority

9. There are no gender roles within this religion

10. Media almost never references my specific branch of religion but when it does reference pagans (the umbrella term that contains most polytheist religions) does not accurately portray us. Wicca is EXTREMELY over represented in the media

11. I think globalization has probably assisted my religion since we have more social access to others around the world with similar veiws

12. it.... isn't technically a NRM... its a reconstructionist movement (bring back a religion that existed and then stopped being practiced and is now being practiced again as accurately as possible), in my branch of religions there are a lot of NRMs under the revivalist umbrella (they are "influenced" by the historical religion but basically do whatever they feel like) and many people find them acceptable

13. Marriage and family I suppose are important? We find relational bonds to be vital to the human experience though opinions on what those bonds specifically are (spouse/blood family/chosen family/etc) not specifically noted

14. I have supernatural experiences fairly often and have through my life. I've experienced spirits, contact from deities, divination, second sight and hex removal

15. This religion does not conflict with science but has no specific teachings on science one way or the other

16. My religion is gaining traction in America and the world in general, but I never expect to see it as a "main stream" religion since it lacks the kind of overarching structure that is still present in the big 5. Its possible we could get a collective center structure IF major historical discoveries were made, but I think its unlikely

Attention anyone who identifies as pagan or a New Age belief system!

I have an assignment for school where I need to interview someone about their religious beliefs. I wanted to get some information about different pagan or New Age beliefs, so feel free to reblog and give your answers! (Don't feel like you have to give an answer for every question!)

Disclaimer: no names or identifying information would be used in my assignment.

Can you tell me your specific religious identity? (I.e. religious organization, faith system, general religious orientation, etc.)

Benefits of Alloy 600/601/625 / Inconel 600/601/625 Pipe Fittings and Flanges

What is an Alloy Pipe?

Molybdenum (Mo), Chromium (Cr), Nickel, and other alloying elements are added to alloy pipes in higher percentages than to carbon steel pipes. According to ASTM A335, low-alloy steel pipes are those that have a total amount of alloying elements below 5%.

What is an Inconel Pipe?

Inconel 625 is a nickel-based alloy that combines high strength with excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and toughness. A cryogenic to 2,000°F (1,093°C) operating temperature range, high fatigue strength, and nonmagnetic properties make it ideal for harsh environments.

Alloy 600

Solid solution strengthened nickel-chromium-iron alloy 600 is used in applications requiring corrosion resistance and high temperatures. The alloy 600 can be used in temperatures as low as cryogenic and as high as 2000°F. In addition to good workability, weldability, and strength, this alloy is also corrosion-resistant. 

Alloy 601

A nickel-chromium-iron alloy with solid solution strengthening is used for corrosion and high temperature applications. Temperatures range from cryogenic to 2000°F for alloy 600. As well as its good workability and weldability, this alloy has a high strength as well.

Alloy 625

A nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and niobium alloy is added to this alloy. In the annealed condition, the addition of molybdenum distorts the alloy’s atomic structure, increasing strength without deliberate heat treatment.

Alloy 600 pipe 

Alloy 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy with good oxidation resistance to 2000 degree F. Good strength and resistance to general corrosion in a variety of elements. Resists stress-corrosion cracking.

Inconel threaded rod

In addition to its corrosion resistance, it is known for its high temperature stability. 

Nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys, such as Inconel 600, 601, 625, 686, 718 & 725 threaded rods, provide high strength at elevated temperatures and good corrosion resistance. As a result of its high thermal stability, Inconel can withstand temperatures of up to 2200°F (982°C). Threaded rods made of Inconel are resistant to a wide variety of severe corrosive environments due to their high alloy content. Mild environments, such as the atmosphere, sea water, neutral salts, and alkaline media, do not attack Inconel threaded rods. In more severe corrosive environments, nickel and chromium provide resistance to oxidizing chemicals, whereas nickel and molybdenum provide resistance to non oxidizing chemicals.

Inconel fasteners at best price

Inconel Fastener- Rs 150 piece

Alloy 600 Polish Inconel 625 Hex Bolt- Rs 351 piece

Nut Inconel 925 Bolt, for Gas Handling, Material Grade 25- Rs 900 piece

RFE Inconel fastener, Size M 6 TO 3 M 30- Rs 20 piece 

Inconel fastener, Grade : Standard- Rs 2500

Benefits of Using Pipe 

Inconel 600

A nickel-chromium alloy, Inconel 600 is used in applications requiring corrosion resistance and high temperatures. 

Inconel 601

Nickel-chromium alloy Inconel 601 is used for applications requiring corrosion and heat resistance. As a result, it provides outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion at high temperatures.

Inconel 625

Nickel-based Inconel Alloy 625 is a superalloy with high strength properties and high temperature resistance. Moreover, it exhibits remarkable corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Hex's Media Thread 2021 Archive (Part 1)

Said a day or two ago I'd archive this stuff in case Twitter truly goes under because it's sadly become something I've actually rather enjoyed to do and be somewhat more open about my opinions on things. Funny how on paper I resigned myself to all data on the internet being temporary but when confronted with the idea of losing some personal things I scuttled to preserve them ^^;.

Anyways this post is gonna be rather small in comparison to the others cause I wasn't doing it until halfway through the year. Also in the future expect to see me make individual posts for just an entry or two whenever I'm caught up :). Also before you ask, the reason Scott is here is because I made it originally as a Media Thread joke image but then ended up actually making one.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was a very fun way to start off the year and I would frequently chip away at it a couple hours before bed every night before deciding near the end to just binge through it all. I really liked how the story presented itself and that was a big hook that kept me going along even when some of the characters weren't nearly as interesting as others. The gameplay is simple and you can easily become overpowered with no real effort just by buying a few moves and that's fine, in my experience the VN with 10% sRPG gameplay is usually not very difficult anyways. I haven't played this studio's other games before but I've been made aware the ending of this is decently similar to another of their works but seeing as I don't know of it I'm instead choosing to live in ignorant bliss and say it comes together pretty great! It isn't mind-bending but the journey that leads there is very fun and filled with a lot of interesting moments and wondering what's going on.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 3rd is maybe still my favorite entry in the franchise but I'm a bit torn on the decision after playing a few others. I know it's a somewhat controversial game since there's no real sidequesting and reused overworld (mostly) like the other games have but at the same time it means I don't have to follow a spoiler-free sidequest guide playing the game and not have to miss everything ^^;. The reason I loved this one so much is I just generally like Kevin and Ries more as characters than Estelle and Joshua because their adopted family to lovers dynamic is just something I can never fully in good conscious really get behind, and while there is a tragically small amount of that in Kevin/Ries as well (with a few other weird issues in his life growing up as well) it's just easier to swallow for me. But enough about the negatives, one thing I love about the format of this game is the Door system allows for every character to get some moments of backstory or further development to bridge the gap between Sky games and what the series has eventually moved onto and become that I really like!

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1! I watched her! To be honest I don't have many thoughts on this series that probably haven't been expressed everywhere else. It looks great and it inspired me to continue on and read the manga which was really great as well but I've just kinda fallen off on it recently. Nobara so cool

Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 were played in such a close succession to each other that I just added both at the same time. I've always loved the Megaman Zero games ever since a friend introduced me to them about ~6 years ago and eventually have gone on to play even more of Inticreates works because they just make such fun games. The first game definitely has some rough parts to get around such as the moments of backtracking and some archaic level design due to trying to be a mostly-faithful remake of the original Blaster Master as well as having the most effort to get the true ending of the trilogy, which isn't that much of an issue for me since I love 100%ing metroid-styled games anyways but is still worth mentioning. The story doesn't do anything crazy but it does enough to endear you to the cast imo.

The sequel takes a lot of notes on where to improve where the original was lacking and it does it wonderfully. There's a lot more character banter and optional dialogue you can trigger compared to the small amount in the 1st game and coupled with a way more interesting story it made it very easy to get engaged quicker. There's so much Quality of Life changes like being able to warp back to Sophia instantly using fred both on the world map and when finishing a dungeon, or the change to have energy recharge and work differently making it so energy-consuming weapons don't suck as much ass to use as they did in 1. The planet hopping system is also wonderful because it cuts down on backtracking almost fully and every single system has a very unique atmosphere in the main planet and some fun side-planets for upgrades. If you're observant enough on the collection overview screen it's also very easy to tell what the true ending requirements are in this game, and that entire section + the final boss might be my favorite part of this series barring some specific moments in 3.

Monster Hunter Rise basegame was very fun and I loved it. My favorite Monster Hunter game is Generations which got me into the series back in 2016 and this one was a close contender with very fast and fun movement fighting aggressive monsters that somewhat compensate for all these new tools. The serpent themes are some of my fav music I've heard in Monhun and I'm just glad this game didn't fall off in enjoyment for me like World did. Rampage is a slightly penis gameplay mechanic I will say but it didn't take too much of the playtime up sooo whatever. I'll give more thoughts in a later post when Sunbreak came out but fwiw my new favorite monster they added in the basegame was Goss Harag :).

Final Fantasy XIV: Eden's Promise (Savage) was a grind for my static at the time but it ended up being my favorite Savage tier... which didn't mean much at the time since I started raiding during Eden's Verse lmao. But even after the next two raid tiers (my group disbanded after scheduling issues for p8s) it's still my favorite and I'll always think that e11s is one of the coolest interpretations of a character ever.

Yakuza 0 is a game I took forever to finally sink my teeth into and god damn was I missing out. Between all the side-missions and modes (which I had done all of except Majima's Amon fight because I didn't feel like grinding for a broken weapon) and the actual story I sunk a good amount of time in this world and I really need to get back in there with Yakuza Kiwami. It will happen before 2024 ends mark my words.

No Straight Roads was a strong GOTY contender for me back in 2021 cause I loved its presentation due to it reminding me of some games I grew up with like Psychonauts for example, and the boss fights were super creative and the music gimmick was so cool and also just had some bangers. I don't even feel like I've given this game the time it deserves to cook because I skipped a lot of the lore files you get throughout the game and I definitely want to go back to it sometime to see them but I also feel like the game was just good enough that I don't feel like I've fucked up by skipping all that cause the normal story was already really fun to me and even a bit emotional at times.

Chainsaw Man. You can read it and it's pretty cool but it hasn't stuck with me strongly as a whole (I haven't been reading much of part 2) and I prefer Fujimoto's one-shots a lot more but still liked my time with this one!

And finally for the end of this part, Rhythm Heaven Fever! Yes I somehow took all until 2021 to play this game despite having played Megamix years ago and loving other Rhythm games like Project Diva and Theatrhytm (and also having a best friend who talked about this game all the time and we'd even Talk About The Series Together). The gameplay is so fun despite only being a few buttons and each minigame really stands out with the remixes being fun and having some banger songs thrown in. I think the monkey's from Monkey Watch can all go burn in hell.

There should be two more updates to 2021 before I get to move on to 2022 but I hope you've enjoyed these little thought capsules :). When we catch up and I get to post more things individually the posts should be a bit more focused and interesting but thanks if you've read it all anyways!

Types of 317L Round Bar

The stainless steel grade 317L is regarded as an upgrade or modified form of marine grade stainless steel. Alloy 316, which has a molybdenum concentration below 3%, is steel intended for marine use. The main improvement in the molybdenum content and the overall molybdenum content of the alloy of 317L stainless steel round bars. Its chemistry has been changed to produce an alloy with improved toughness and strength.

Properties of alloy 317Lmn stainless steel rods, notably tensile strength and pitting resistance, primarily experience a significant improvement. The PREN of alloy 316 is valued at 24.2, but the same property for welding rod made of 317L stainless steel is valued at 29.7. The ASTM A479 UNS S31703 hex bar’s ability to resist decay in the presence of highly corrosive media including acidic chlorine, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid shows a considerable improvement in its corrosion resistance qualities. The astm a276 type 317L flat bar produces good quality weld, much like all low carbon version austenitic alloys.

This is due to the fact that the extra carbon has been lowered in order to stop carbide precipitates from forming, which would inevitably cause inter – granular corrosion. Because 317L black bar can be used in an as-welded form, manufacturers prefer to utilize it. The DIN 1.4438 square bar has a chemical composition that renders it somewhat resistant to chlorine-related stress cracking, in contrast to grade 304. The AISI 317L threaded bar offers superior corrosion resistance qualities to both grade 316 & 304 in conditions containing sulphur compounds. The SS 317L bright bar performs effectively when exposed to halogen-containing liquids as well.

Being a well-known company, Tronix Alloys is engaged in offering a variety of Stainless Steel 317L Bar. We provide these goods to both our domestic and international customers at incredibly discounted prices. Austenitic stainless steel 317L bar is a chromium-nickel alloy that also contains molybdenum.

This 317L stainless steel properties exhibits increased corrosion resistance in a variety of applications. These bars are made with materials of both national and international quality, and they are customised to meet the needs of our clients. This bar is produced in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, diameters, shapes, and types so that it can be used effectively in a variety of applications.

Our stainless steel 317L bar is available in cut lengths of 1-6 metres. The ingot, rectangle, round, billet, square, and forging are examples of common forms. Our product comes in a variety of finishes, including brilliant polished, matte finish, BA finish, and rough turned.

SS 317/ 317L tubing – Improved corrosion resistance, high formability, and weldability are all characteristics of round bars and rods. These steels enable the subsequent operations, including shearing, drawing, stamping, and heading. Additionally, it offers pickling, rolling, bending, machining, heat treatment, annealing, and cutting services.

Introducing the Preston Garvey Skin Tone Guide!

As a late, general Holiday present to the Fallout Fandom, I’ve decided to create something very special!

Popping back into the Fallout fandom after around three to four years of absence, I’ve learned a lot about improving my depiction of PoC in art and writing. Now, I’m not perfect by any means. I’ve made glaring mistakes like this in the past, but instead of being discouraged, I’ve simply tried to learn from my mistakes. However, I’ve noticed a pretty glaring issue in the fandom revolving around Preston Garvey (and other PoC characters like X6-88), and no, it’s not settlement jokes. 

Going through five years of content, I’ve noticed a small, but pretty dangerous trend of white-washing Preston in fan art and fan fiction (along with other PoC characters). And while not in this particular fandom alone, I often see the same tired excuses that try to explain everything away (which I, myself, have been guilty of in the past). I wish to directly address this as an artist and as a pretty big fan of Preston’s. 

So, I decided to create a catalogue of screenshots, placing Preston in as many lighting and weather conditions as humanly possible, and eye-dropping several areas of his face (because I can’t entirely trust Bethesda’s body textures, I’m sorry). There are over 60 reference images collected by me and some by lovely users who let me use their screenshots. On top of that, there are over 400 hex codes provided to help artists and writers.

The Google Excel sheet can be found here => X

Now with that being said, this reference guide isn’t simply meant for young/inexperienced artists to just copy a hex code and call it a day. This is meant to be a hub for not only obtaining references, but to show how lighting can drastically affect POC skin tones, and to train the eye on how to correctly render out darker skin tones. And as a side bonus for fanfic writers, to actually see how the character might look in these lighting conditions and how to describe them properly.

I have provided some tutorials on how to use this guide for artists, and to also get around the dreaded, “But it’s the Overlay!” excuse I’ve seen. 

These tutorials can be found here = X | X

Now, to make it 100% clear, as a disclaimer, I’m white. So, it’s completely understandable to scrutinize the skintone guide and my tutorials on how to apply them to art. So, to ensure that this is not only a learning experience, but to not talk over POC artists, I’ve collected additional tutorials and guides created by POC artists (one artist on this list created a very long twitter thread, but provided useful links to other POC artists and their tutorials, and goes into further detail about color theory and how it applies to coloring skin tones that I think is incredibly insightful and useful). I’ve also provided some links to a blog that helps writers write POC. Especially, on how to describe POC skin tones and hair.

These links can be found in this Google Doc => X

Please note that I will try to update these documents with more screenshots, hex codes, and links as time goes on. If you have any resources that you wish to share, please feel free to DM me these resources so I can add them. 

As I’ve said, this guide is here to help artists train their skills. It’s important to always be improving one way or another as an artist. One of those ways being to properly represent POC in media. I hope this guide can help educate artists (and writers) in general with this goal. And I also hope that this guide will help those in the Fallout fandom grow as well. 

Now, due to the fact that this post have outside link, I don’t think they’ll show up in any of the relevant tags. So, if you could reblog this post to share it, I’d very much appreciate it!

I can't get off this clown cart, HELP, even as it hurtles towards the cliff. Please reassure me with your theories of how R@**h can still be Peter/Pietro given the latest "official" statements that he was some actor and this was his stupid hex AND non-hex name... and that he was de-powered without the necklace... PLEASE ENABLE MY DENIAL WITH LOGIC!!

Well, mostly it’s because I highly doubt Kevin would settle for Mandarin 2.0, given the fact they received so much negativity and backlash from fans back in 2013. Despite what people might assume, Feige knows his shit and how to please fans. He was probably aware fans would be disappointed if Peters’ appearance amounted to nothing but a crude boner joke.

Second, I don’t believe a thing the crew behind WV says.

“we didn’t know casting Evan Peters would cause so many X-Men and multiverse theories” -  um....they literally had him look identical to his X-Men character...in a show that’s leading into Multiverse of Madness....how can anyone believe for a second that there wouldn’t be any crossover theories, especially since the lead actress herself thought the same at first.

“didn’t know who Mephisto is.” i HIGHLY doubt that lol

“wanda’s grief caused her to kind of forget how her brother looks like.” - yet one of the things she says to Peter is literally “why do you look different”, meaning she knows that’s not how Pietro looked.

Also, we’re forgetting that the canon is what we see in the show. Not what anyone else says. Sure, they can say ‘oh this person was that and that and they were doing this’ but unless it’s shown on screen/show/media it’s not canon.

What do we know about ‘Ralph’ by watching the show? 

- he played the role of Agnes/Agatha’s husband (then why did Agatha keep his ‘real’ name? Why didn’t she change it, she changed her own? Why keep his actual name? Why did he go along with wife/husband ruse if he’s never interacting with anyone)

- that his name is apparently Ralph Bohner (show’s canon never explains if this is actually his real name or hex name. The hex was still up when that reveal happened, any viewer could assume it’s the same case for him. The documents could change too)

- he has superspeed (people assume the necklace gave him powers, but again, the show never confirmed that. for all we know he could still have powers)

- “yeah, but he was begging for his life after she tore off his necklace which he wouldn’t and he’d just run away if he still had them” (are we forgetting that he still had the necklace on when Monica literally knocked him off his feet? He could have easily used powers then too, but he didn’t, so...that’s not a sound argument)

- he wore his necklace so Agatha was possessing him (to what point exactly? for all we know the necklace was just giving Agatha the ability she could see/hear everything he does? Or maybe it was just mind control?)

- the show left his fate ambiguous. Is he a good guy, a bad guy? Was he a victim or Agatha’s accomplice? Sure, there’s a deleted scene where he joins the team in stealing Darkhold but that was not included so it’s not canon. 

- what happened to him after Monica tore off his necklace? We don’t know. 

Basically anyone who doesn’t follow what showrunners have to say or a casual viewer is left in the dark about ‘Ralph’, his fate, powers etc.

He’s basically a loose thread. Wanda will be back. Darcy will be back. Vision will be back. The twins are out there and we know we’ll get more of them. Monica will be back. Woo will be back as well apparently. Hayward is in prison, Agatha will be back eventually as well, the residents got some closure towards the end, everyone’s story was resolved, except Ralph’s. 

Which is VERY sus, because usually, marvel does a fine job with wrapping loose ends. 

The fact that they left it so ambiguous gives Feige and co a perfect option for a retcon or future exploration of that character - if that wasn’t already what they had planned to begin with. 

 I have no doubt that this isn’t the last we see of Evan in the mcu.

S5 Ep6: Joey Wheeler is on Fire, Yet Again

Came down with a little sickness-not the biggie, just a little sly guy. But I took some meds, I’m a little floaty, I’ve only been listening to baroque music all morning for some reason? And I hate baroque music usually? But I’ll leave it to bro to tell me if this is fluid enough.

Just so you know, these caps were kind of a hot mess for a while and some of them read like that Garfield in of hot eat the food comic until...today. So pls don’t judge me, Judge my damn DMV where no one was following Covid regulations because I’m pretty sure that’s where I got this damn cold.

We start off with Roland getting more attention than he ever has in his entire life. Like honestly, I don’t know what Roland’s job really is...but he’s got a very diverse set of very useless skills. One of which, is knowing how to announce sports games that aren’t really a sport, while those games he’s announcing slowly fall into chaos.

Anyway, Roland’s taking so long cherishing his sweet time before everything goes to hell, that he’s boring Joey, who’s kinda turned into a ball of stress in the waiting room.

A lot of this episode is us watching them watching Joey having a break down moment by moment, TBH.

(read more under the cut)

Yugi telling Joey to study his cards and straight up--what?

Like at this point they know what’s on the cards, right? Like there comes a point where even Yugioh cards have a finite amount of words and I’m just going to assume that like...Joey probably knows them all in his own deck, right?

(bro note: they have no limit on what they will put on a card)

Then again, maybe Yugi doesn’t know what “study” means?

Also, appreciate how some artist crosshatched the hell on Joey’s nose there and I zoomed out and ruined it.

Now for some reason every duelist is hanging out in the duel lodge, including our current arch-villain guy who’s brought a book. I want to know what book this guy even reads so no one could suspect he’s actually a hacker who uses computers. He’s reading romance, right? And I don’t think he’d even be into Twilight, I think he’s straight up into hard core Mom romance like a lame ass Nicholas Sparks over there reading “Dear John” for the millionth time because he is completely un-phased by anything else happening in this room.

Joey, our hero, just out there being an asshole for no reason.

After Tea is pushed into a locker or something screaming about her need for female friends (which she screamed in earshot of Rebecca again, who I figured was on friends terms with her after last episode...but I guess not) Leon hops up to remind us that we should be caring about the fact that his character exists.

And like, I love Leon’s hair color--that’s a good choice, and legit that is the color I tried to dye my hair at the beginning of the epidemic (it didn’t work PS, my hair cannot take dye for the life of it) but also like...he just kinda feels like a weak Rebecca as far as characters go. He’s young, he’s good at cards...I think he goes to a private school? That’s all I can think of about Leon.

He mostly just reminds us that the big prize of this tourney is to duel Yugi, who anyone could have dueled at any point even without the tournament.

On the way out of the...duel room? lounge? Area? Joey decides to like...make peace with Zigfried, and I gotta tell you, I kinda have to side with Zigfried, because Joey spent the last ten minutes being a freak in the dressing room/lounge/bathroom and at one point looked like he was going to hold the entire locker room in a stranglehold.

I would also want some space from Joey Wheeler, is what I’m saying.

After insulting Joey’s style (which honestly, Joey...has a style? He pops his collar, that’s his entire style.) Zigfried assures us that Joey’s gonna lose and like...

...probably, right? Just looking at the plausible direction this season will go.

Anyway, Joey is such a mess (which is the theme of the episode, that Joey needs to learn to chill in order to win at card games) that Rebecca is like “I understand if all of you leave me to go help our poor baby Joey.” And no one felt bad for her.

Mokuba comes over to tell everyone all of the Kaiba family secrets because Mokuba has no filter.

Seto has devoted himself to staring at a computer screen for the rest of this episode. I guess he’ll put their names into Google, realize that social media hasn’t been invented yet, and then just lie his head down on the desk and take a power nap until the tournament is over. Much like I did after taking Dayquil this afternoon.

I like how Seto dressed for success and then locked himself in the server room for most of this arc so far. Maybe he’s just...really tired, I dunno. I don’t really blame the guy, he’s had a hard time.

And then Yugi was like “DAMN IT MOKUBA, JUST ONCE CAN YOU NOT INVITE THE ILLUMINATI???”

And we had a weird scene where Yugi just started talking to the ghost and it was while he was talking to everyone else, and the show didn’t treat it like that’s a weird thing to do...but it was a weird thing to do.

This show does that sometimes, where I guess they imply that Yugi’s Pharaoh conversations are split second conversations but...they’re not, right?

Also this chick ain’t gone yet, and Mokuba is just failing at his entire job for not zeroing in on vibes coming off this chick like stinky cheeseman.

So listen.

Did the Kaibas make like 3 types of Blue Eyes Caboose to one up Noah? Because Noah made one choo choo dragon, and then Mokuba and Seto were like “how dare” and then made sure that everyone ride every single version of the blue eyes caboose just to see how proud of them they were.

How many months of troubleshooting was the train? Like how long in development did Seto and Mokuba spend on these? A lot right? Like most of the time?

I did not check the subs to see if Roland said Jumping or Champion but I like to believe that Roland thought it was a cool new name he gave him.

Then these guys all showed up.

Hey so...can we talk seating arrangements?

Tea decided not to sit next to Yugi after complaining about not spending time with him for like how many episodes? Or was it too awkward to sit on top of what was probably Pharaoh?

Or did Mokuba go like “please, Tea, I cannot sit next to the others because I’m pretty sure one is a mole that is about to go cray” and was Tea like “Good, I need female friends, these ones are driving me crazy!” and then was Mokuba like peering desperately over the edge of his self made dragon train prison realizing he has to listen to Tea complain about boys for the rest of his ride across molten lava?

Headcanons abound about this weird seating arrangement that the animators drew for the reasons they did...but reasons I cannot fully understand. That and the Dayquil is making me overfixate on random stuff.

And also, Tea is kind of the Kaiba’s security’s understudy. Just there to always protect Mokuba with her ass because she’s the strongest woman alive.

PS I missed the tumblr wars because at the time I was trying to like...run a proper business on blogger. When Blogger died and I jumped over here it was like a weird ruin where everyone was like “tumblr is the most toxic place alive” and...I’ve had a really nice time here, actually. Completely missed that civil war period and I have no regrets.

Now I was there for the Petz wars (warz, I guess) where people were very militant about Petz abuse (abuze?) where apparently people were using the spray bottle on their catz too much and people were very, very upset about it to the point that they were like campaigning about it on their angelfire websites with the most bizarre grassroots campaigns that I still recall, to this day because they were like...well they looked like this:

PLAPA. Not only am I 100% positive that only this one guy ever called this movement PLAPA, but I’m 100% positive that not only are Catz not real people, but also this wasn’t actually happening and we never had any proof that it was. Either way, if people knew or suspected that you hadn’t deleted the spray bottle from your game (which at the time I had no idea how to do because I was a wee child) they would basically assume you were on a one way road to being a mass murderer in real life.

In real life we were 7 years old so like...thanks?

But that’s the closest I got to toxicity and at the time I was too young to make an email account and actually converse with these people. I was just there to download their Petz hexes, and I already made a post about how wonderful and incredible Petz Hexing was.

And y’all, I heard, just now after a little deep dive into the Petz Abuse debacle (which yes, is on the wiki), that apparently, like gardening, Petz Hexing came back in a big way during the epidemic--and I have found an active Petz forum in this the year 2021. The only problem is that I no longer remember how to use old timey forums...and I think I’m locked out of seeing most of these threads (and like this forum is so old I think I have to send them a letter in the physical mail to apply). But, I’m pretty sure they’re hosting a picture contest for who’s dogz poses the best. And I’m pretty sure someone created a hexxed Pickle Rick. Or it’s a photoshop that was made to look like a hexxed Pickle Rick.

Dammit why did it have to be Pickle Rick? That’s not worth re-installing Petz and getting it to run on Windows 10...

Guys is this the Dayquil? Is this really happening? I feel like I’m losing my mind for so many reasons...

Anyway, speaking about useless hexing it’s about time that our villain did something that was actually dangerous, so Zigfried decided to install a new virus that does more than turn off the lights. (it still turns off lights)

the Spreadsheet Virus!

Confounded by the spreadsheet software, it...um...it does this:

Straight up how does Excel make a volcano erupt? Is that why I have to pay for Microsoft office now?

All this because Joey made fun of Zigfried’s naturally pink hair? Which is the most normal hair on this series outside of like...Tristan?

Hey guys...Joey’s fine, right? Like how many times has Joey been on fire? And once in an iron cage next to like...a Fire Golem?

Joey’s fine.

MAN I miss Fire Golem. He had a good mug.

And then we just kinda watch chaos go across the park, chaos that includes: Too many ghosts in the haunted mansion (which honestly--you’ll get your money’s worth, sounds great!), the Ferris wheel goes kinda fast and thus might accidentally be fun, the lights turn off at some concert stage that only had 2 people on it (so it might just be motion detector lights and not even a virus), and um...literal fire and magma are going to set Joey Wheeler on fire.

Just...one of these events does not seem like the others. In fact most of these things sound like good improvements to the park and they should just hire Zigfried at this point.

Roland puts down his microphone and jogs across the stage, about a mile through the audience bleachers, and into the staff lounge, to go and bother Seto Kaiba, who is in a room that has a hi-def classical painting copy-pasted on the wall and I can’t look away from it.

I almost did a Google search on this painting but then thought better about it. There’s like...a billion classical paintings that look exactly like this, and they wouldn’t use like a Monet, they would have to do something that’s harder to catch to avoid copyright issues (because yes, even old ass paintings have copyright issues, but no one tell NFT’s which are going to be so freakin screwed and was such a bad idea, that I can’t even start).

Anyway, I have no idea who it is and it is legitimately driving me up a wall, but I’m on too much meds to do the effort of putting it in a reverse google image search.

Plus, a reverse google image search would only pull up Seto Kaiba.

So Kaiba takes us on a little flashback to his weird ass past, a weird ass past that just...doesn’t follow any of the established timelines, but I assume was shortly after adoption but before Seto got into a phase where he wore his school outfit everywhere and tried to shove his MMO off onto his Dad as a business model.

Seto is like 8 for some reason. I don’t know why, they kinda drew him younger this season anyway, like maybe they got a lot of fan mail and realized “Hey I think we made the 16 yo boy too sexy?” And they just toned Seto the hell down. That, and it’s a different animation team, and maybe they looked at Seto’s character design and were like “we don’t get paid enough to draw this well.” So...since Seto actually looks like a teen again, I guess his 12 year old self has to look like he’s in Elementary school.

Also, I only recognized this, because at some point in S3 as I was roasting Noah Kaiba’s weird fashion:

I remember distinctly roasting that little bow tie. I don’t remember when I wrote it, I think there was a version of this outfit that was in color...but I don’t remember where.

Anyway, it’s not the same jacket...but man that’s kind of awkward, ya? Like the maid who dressed Mokuba deffo got fired?

He um.

Turned the lights off a little bit.

Guys this villain is like...

...why does he think lights are scary? Like look at little Seto here. The boy is already bored. Seto duels on the edges of cliffs...he doesn’t care about the freakin dark.

We had a guy who killed everyone on the planet last season, and this season we have a little fashion gremlin standing in the corner and flicking the light switch going  “wooooo you never catch me!” and it’s like...

...I’m starting to think this guy isn’t a witch.

Like we’re at Episode 6, there’s still time for this guy to be a witch...but I really am starting to think this guy is just...straight up not a witch. It’s everything Seto wanted, a rival who isn’t a freakin magic person...and sets Joey only fake on fire instead literally on fire like last time...

and Seto is just completely unhinged by it.

Anyway, I’m off to go drink a bowl of soup and pass out. If you’re new here, this is a link to read these in chrono order.
