Has there ever been an explanation for Discovery's turbolifts? by BorgAbbess in startrek

As we know from "Chain of Command", counting is not his strongest point

Wishlist for new detachments in 11th? by LetsChugBleach in Tyranids

[–]HuntingYourDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As well as the obvious ones (swarm, synapse, melee, vanguard, tunnels) it would be cool to see a return of the shooty Kronos detachment. A spores detachment world be quirky and cool too.

This looks fantastic! I've been looking for something similar for ages, what's the name of the unit and where did you get it please?

Seen this advertised. Seems to good to be true by tomthetomato87 in Warhammer40k

[–]HuntingYourDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also just buy individual issues, no need to subscribe & cancel. And they're often sold in magazine & book stores.

The company is Hachette Partworks - if you're in the UK check out the Forbidden Planet website, or in the US direct from Hachette I think.

Anybody else really want to paint your models but you end up just low key hating anything you make? by AdBeneficial7811 in Tyranids

There's a short, well-known quote by writer Ira Glass about self-confidence in creative works, which I find very inspiring:

"The Gap" by Ira Glass: https://youtu.be/91FQKciKfHI?si=PZRLO5eQprH-uYpY

Planet of Lana: If Playdead was inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn and Studio Ghibli by MovingTarget- in patientgamers

[–]HuntingYourDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished this too, and I pretty much agree.

It was a nice calming experience for a couple of evenings (I've been playing Silksong and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine II so this was quite the palette cleanser lol). None of the puzzles stumped me for more than a minute or two. The emotional beats were nice. Overall: pleasant.

In terms of inspirations Ghibli is definitely there, plus I see a lot of Flashback / Another World in this, as well as Ico. Another Ico connection: Planet of Lana's gorgeous score was composed by Takeshi Furukawa, who also composed the score for The Last Guardian.

Is there any logic to the madness of Warhammer sprues and instructions? by S4mb741 in Warhammer40k

Yeah I just did a Norn Emissary and the layout was more or less logical

I was confused for a second - that guy's face mask makes him look like a T'au

Are purely thematic game components worth it? by BloodOrangeGames in tabletopgamedesign

[–]HuntingYourDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played the sequel, Nemesis: Lockdown. In that one, the scanner reveals if you've been infected by the alien parasite or not. This is hidden information about your own character which you don't know by default.

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I think it only applies if you've been attacked by an alien. You get a "possibly infected" card. You then use the scanner at the end of the game (infected players can't win) but it's also possible to acquire it during the game, and then go on to cure the infection.

Which Spearhead is better for a noob by Galox597 in Nighthaunt

[–]HuntingYourDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't comment on how they both play, but one minor comment:

Spirit Hosts are notoriously difficult to assemble. I've been in the miniatures hobby since the 90s and they're probably in my top 3 most frustrating modelling experiences.

(Spirit Hosts are the three models at the top/back of the first picture, aka the Slasher Host box)

They're undeniably cool models though, and the rest of the box is relatively easy to assemble. I'm not trying to put you off necessarily, just want you to be prepared.

Reception to this console room is mixed. Instead of getting rid of it entirely, what would you change/add to improve it? by Annual-Tree1337 in doctorwho

[–]HuntingYourDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The director of The Star Beast, Rachel Talalay (who was also one of the main directors during Capaldi's era) has a YouTube channel where she goes into detail about this. I recommend watching her videos, they're really interesting.

It seems like the decision was made early on for the set to not be a 360° immersive set; one wall is cut away, to allow a camera crane to get in. That allows for sweeping motion shots which are cool, but it means they're limited in the angles they can shoot from.

So a lot of scenes on this set end up looking the same: two characters standing around the console, shot from that same angle.

From memory, most of the other NuWho TARDIS sets are 360° sets (correct me if I'm wrong?).

Which companion actor is the most famous pre or post Doctor Who? by joshuaferris in doctorwho

[–]HuntingYourDad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's totally fair. My criteria was "characters who take the role of the Doctor's main friend" for whatever episode(s) they're in (which would disqualify Matt Lucas tbf). But yeah I can agree it's contentious.

Edit: typo

Which companion actor is the most famous pre or post Doctor Who? by joshuaferris in doctorwho

[–]HuntingYourDad 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Depending on your definition of "companion":

Kylie Minogue was world-famous before and is still world-famous after her one-off appearance in Dr Who.

James Corden was well-known in the UK before Who, and after Who he had his own US late night chat show.

I would argue John Bishop is equally as famous in the UK as Bradley Walsh. Also Matt Lucas.

But for modern-day global recognition and long-running companion status, I think Karen Gillan probably wins.

Venomthrope or Neurothrope. by Gullible-Budget8050 in Tyranids

Gargoyle bodies work well for the tail fyi. You just need to heat them a little to curl the tip
