Also: the chainmail loops were made from an industrial hose, which was light and made of plastic, but it looked like real metal, which meant the actors could wear the chainmail without it being super heavy.

Also also: every sword was made 4 times - once as a real sword, then once as a "scale sword", for doing the whole "hobbits are small" thing, then again as a rubber safety sword, then again as a liteweight sword for the fast action scenes.

I'm watching some behind the scenes stuff about the lord of the rings movies, and holy heck they did so much more than I thought they did.

They got *actual armor smiths and a sword smith* to smith the armor and swords, in forges they had in their workshop.

They had 2 people who spent the entire 3 years just sitting in a room making chainmail links (and they interviewed one of them and he was like "this is the most amazing thing I've ever done")

Hi Una!

I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding how to get forgery working. I can select various things in the options menu, but the server side tweaks don't carry through when I start a new game, only the client side things do.

How do I get a singleplayer world to match what I've selected in the fabrication config?

I'm starting a modded minecraft 1.16.4 playthrough soon, do any of y'all have any mod suggestions?

Favourite mods, or mods I might not have heard of?

(Using the forge mod loader, so I can't access fabric mods, unfortunately)

I've been having a lot of fun with this non-euclidean tetris game: https://zenorogue.itch.io/bringris

In the past I've said "I don't really care about spoilers". But that was from a perspective where I only occasionally saw spoilers, and mostly for things I wasn't sure I was going to watch.

But getting spoiled for *absolutely everything* is emotionally draining.

despite doing *absolutely everything I could* to avoid spoilers, I once again saw the major reveal of today's episode online before I had the chance to watch the episode itself.

So now I'm up to 11 episodes in a row that were spoiled for me, long before I could have watched them. I'm so sick of this.

And there's this fun fractal music video to go with one of the tracks:
