What a book! I've only ever gotten about 80 pages into it but I'm planning for my next expedition very soon. I think this time I'm going to sit with sticky tabs and a notebook and try and really make sense of it.
CS2 is the first game in a long time that I'm seriously considering pre-ordering. The fact that they let a member of the community playtest the game like this and share his experiences candidly makes me so excited to see both the game and how Colossal Order is going to support the community moving forward.

That's the exact reason I love playing Fortnite with friends -- and if we get tired of the main Battle Royale we seek out a custom map. We played a Wipeout themed death run last night, and you just can't get mad when you lose if you lose to Lil Whip or Goku
Looks fantastic! I'm saving up for a cabinet like yours.
Hey there! You might be interested in the Q&A thread pinned to the community page.
Hey there! Uranium oxide and pitchblende have both been used as a glass colorant since well before uranium was formally discovered -- as far back as 79 CE! The pieces people commonly collect were intentionally colored with uranium oxide. I hope that's clear!
Considering they've hired the dev of TM:PE (iirc also the dev of Network Multitool, whose utilities you can see in the trailer), I have super high hopes
I made [email protected] for collectors of uranium glass to show off their finds!
That's how I'm also planning on using Reddit after the shutdown. I'm fully planning on shredding my Reddit data after getting a personal copy as well.
Uranium Glass - A community for uranium glass collectors!
A community for collectors of uranium glass (and other types of glowing glass too!)
A place for collectors of uranium glass to gather and share their new finds!
/c/uraniumglass official Q&A thread!
This is a space for collectors to answer any questions about uranium glass that people may have.
I'd like to start with some questions I get pretty often (and that were recently asked by the admin of the instance, Wintermute):
>How much Uranium is in the glass anyway? Should you even be holding that?
The actual uranium content in uranium glass is usually between trace amounts and 2% by weight, but you can find pieces that are up to 25% uranium by weight. (Source: ORAU Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity) Many of my pieces, when measured with a Geiger counter, are within what's considered a low-risk range of radioactivity. Some people use their uranium glass, but I prefer to keep my handling of it to a minimum.
> I think it only fluoresces like this under black light, right? Does it just look like normal glass in natural light?
UV light in general causes the glass to fluoresce. Black lights get you the best results, but some pieces fluoresce quite brightly under direct sunlight. Under natural light, most pieces are a transparent yellow-green.
> Do they still make this stuff today, or is it all vintage?
Some companies make it today, but the majority you'll find is vintage. The majority of my collection is from the 1910s-1930s, with a few pieces from the 1970s!
> Where do you find it? If it’s mostly thrift stores and that kind of thing, do they usually know what it is or do they just think it’s regular glass?
Thrift stores, antique stores, auctions, eBay. Where I'm at, it's mostly 50/50 as to whether the seller knows or not. That also influences the price -- I've gotten pieces for under a dollar because someone just thought it was their grandma's green glass.
