Something to not argue about.

The purpose of this post is to get former or current Vendetta players to say what they like to do in their spare time when not playing the game or on forums. If you don't have anything nice to say try not to comment. To put it simply I think that posting this stuff can strike up conversations instead of these arguments you see in game and out.

Sorry for any spelling errors.

In my spare time I like to make Videos and watch them as well (mostly CS:GO,PUBG, and some of the old vendetta pvp matchs and tutorials on all your channels.)

I also read myths and lore online cause I find that stuff interesting. As well as keep up on the latest news.

Try to keep innapropiate stuff out of the comments if possible please.

I just built a metal foundry and have been melting down scrap aluminum and copper into ingots in preparation for casting projects.

I recently built a rig to make Lichtenberg figures and have been playing with that.

I like to fix things and build things around the house.

Really? How long have you been doing this? It's pretty cool though, you have pictures?

My life is VO, but Im also an avid reader of manga, and i use to program stuff on calculators. I am quite proud of having 9 graphing calculators, though it isnt as many as some of my peers 100+.

I also play games like KSP, Overwatch, MW2, Starbound, Riptide GP Renegade, and I just added Everspace to that repetoire (too bad i wasnt a backer, or even knew about VO back then; something to do with backers getting some kind of special skin?)

I really enjoy welding and metalwork; But that's just a mere hobby I don't intend to become much more. I have a 1971 Chevrolet Nova I plan on getting back to it's former glory with my Dad(hasn't ran since 98'). Other than that I very much enjoy Rockabilly culture; and antiques. Car shows and Practically anything related to an 18 Wheeler. But when none of that is happening I like listening to Dwight Yoakam and Stray Cats.

@HightechRedneck I spent a little time listening to a few of their songs (stray cats) whats your favorite?
Aug 26, 2017 Whistler link
I remember when Stray Cats hit it big. I was thinking "Oh wow, rockabilly on mainstream radio?". I never wanted to play an upright base so bad (but have yet to get around to it).

Muffin tin ingots of aluminum

This group has been a big part of my life for a good 5 years. I'm not in it(yet)but all my immediate family is in it. Good stuff

All the songs were good but rip it up stood out most to me

And whistler that is some good work. How long does it take to make one?

Thanks GFR.
I'm not sure how long it took me because I was gathering materials at a leisurely pace and then built it in between other projects. The refractory cement I used needs to cure - so one could get it done in a week including shopping, building, pouring, curing, and making the burner. However, I tend to overbuild things and there are faster and cheaper ways to make one.

Ah ok. Still cool

You could check out this dude: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-The-Mini-Metal-Foundry/

Mine is made to handle 2,200F, with no issues, while the Instructable version can probably handle 1,500 with some deterioration each use. Also, soda cans are not the best source of aluminum considering a fuel-to-production cost. Fun to reuse though.

That is really something nuts, Whistler. Hardcore.

I like to find old computers, fix them up, and find homes for them. Ten year old tech can still do web stuff and word processing with RAM maxed, processor switched out for a little better one, etc. Do most of it with spare parts and $0 since I'm a broke college student. My job gives me ample access to a lot of scrap hardware and occasionally old systems.

I wish I could make computers. I want one so bad

It's easier than you think. It's like playing Legos. It's all about matching up the numbers and ports.

I like to bike, hike, watch Youtube, make videos for Youtube, and I am listening to music whenever possible. I play a bit with making music on pc, used to have a cello but injury prevented me from continuing to play it. I love music most of all, so that's normally what I am pursuing.
I like to sing and dance.
Sometimes I go hang out at the mall and talk to random people.
I also enjoy having conversations with homeless folks, they usually have a story to tell.
Aug 28, 2017 GamingFOReel link
Sounds interesting Barktooth. What's the most insane story you've heard?

Joyless joker really? I might attempt to sometimes. What is the cost of finding parts for computers?
Aug 29, 2017 Whistler link
Many computer parts are free. People have stuff laying around. I don't put together systems much anymore, but for a simple rig I really only had to buy memory and a HD once in awhile.
Aug 29, 2017 GamingFOReel link
Oh. I wouldn't even know where to start.
