Yep... It keeps going.
 

Got to my target weight, so ive started working out last a few days, in just that small amount of time I can already see the definition in my arms, opposed to the fat ziti noodles they used to be. 

I should get some glasses. They make me look smart.
 

Can good want!

There really was no proper topic about this series, really? Shame on you!
 
Have you watched it? What do you think of it? I know right, it's fucking awesome. Did the red cgi intro get you as horny as it got me?

Bad life choices led me to making this thing: 

 
Proof of said bad choices:

Shadowrun Chronicles: Boston Lockdown - http://store.steampowered.com/app/267750/

Together with the company I am working for, I just released my first game on Steam ever! I'm so excited!

i know that feel bro...

Might as well kick the bucket already.

I turned 28 today. Two years to go for the big 30. I'm getting nervous.

Can I reserve a spot for 5/5/15 for HorseStrangler and I - the map name is Junction, its a DE map.

It's really a matter of preserving the structure of the house without dooming it to collapse in a few years. The clay is super healthy for the air (absorbs toxins and humidity and releases humidity only when the air is too dry), I believe it's the best interior cover for having a nice air, no condensation on windows, etc. It works really well with wood (and the house has a wooden structure), not damaging the wood in any way, contrary to cement-based plasters and such. It's also very cheap (150€ for 1.4 tons) and easy to apply (not toxic so no protections to use, low drying speed so can take your time, easy to clean afterwards, etc.)
 
But most importantly is the flow of water through the walls: if I had just put standard plaster on the walls or plates of plaster or shitty isolation, the water would have gone into the walls, reaching the old clay+straw mix (since it's really absorbant), and would not have been able to go back out of the wall through the plaster, staying trapped between the exterior plaster and the interior plaster, and eventually causing the wall to crumble down when it got too humid. In all constructions there's a thing you got to respect and it's the order of the materials you use and their potency to absorb water: you have to make it so that the water can go in the wall and back out the other side, being sort of pulled by different degrees of absorbance from each material. If you trap a high-absorbance material between two low ones, it's fucked. It's how you get stuff like funghi that eat your wooden beams and such, which develops behind plaster plates, in the darkness and humidity, and you really don't want that sort of stuff to happen.
 
Anyway, those are most of the reasons. It's just how houses are made and repaired around here, and going against the age-old techniques means you may get something more modern but it could also collapse a few years down the line. Figured it'd be best following the advices of experts on this, since the house is a bit shit to begin with (crap wood for beams etc.) and super old (130+ years).
 
The previous owners had actually covered the ceiling of the kitchen with the wrong material, and when I broke it all to reveal the beams, we found a layer of mold between the old clay and the new plaster they put, illustrating exactly the phenomenon I was talking about (probably accelerated because it is the kitchen and has vapors of all kinds going up through the ceiling).
 
But yeah, the downside is that it takes ages to dry, and is also not good at holding stuff such as shelves etc. and that I had to learn all the tricks, which means I totally underestimated the time it would take to renovate it all (since I was making my estimations based on putting plaster plates a bit everywhere and calling it done.)

I'm going to buy my own house, 15km away from my job, a 600 square meters farm that need an huge revamp  , real life level design thread incoming.

DMG has the highest group of people in varying skill. There are low end DMG's who are gloried gold novas, then there are the high ranking DMGS who can play on par with SMFC. DMG has this huge variance in skill level and it just so happens to be the place people get stuck at in a rank the most. When I got out of DMG, I climbed to LEM in 2 days, while before I was DMG for months.
