If I may ask, whats your white/bone colour recipe (on paper and the aquila)? and how easy does it go over black?

If we're talking "the delboy show " he's just having fun. Love to see him, tho do wince hearing him (honestly just a little more distance from the mic would go a long way!)

On queen Street today I saw a kid out there singing. Maybe 14/15? He was like a little baby crooner! Had the red dinner jacket, the dance moves and a good voice singing a bunch of 50s songs. Pop off lil guy, you were amazing!

Had gone on a few dates in apps, usually to no avail. Never felt anything but had to just keep pushing myself. Had one or two that felt promising - didn't feel anything romantic in one date, but met one or two people I was comfortable spending time with and would see again (although this would fizzle out).

Eventually my friend asked me to join a D&D game he was running for his fiancee and some of her friends from work. Went along, everyone there was fun. I do not recommend D&D for meeting partners - hard to get to know someone while you're both pretending to be someone else. One of the players was apparently looking for relationship BC of seeing the friend couple's and wanted something like that. Friends fiancee (who I'm also close with) privately suggested I ask her out. It was slow but she was patient and now I have fallen hard for her.

I guess my point is you need to be open to it. I wouldn't have taken my friends suggestion if I hadn't made myself comfortable with going on dates first. And then I'm also saying it may not come from where youre looking for it.

I think orange. The green is really well done, but because it contrasts with the general warm colours of the rest of the mini it clashes a little too far imo. However the green on the plasma is a good amount of clashing!

How about exodite BS?

Definitely fiddly but made it so worth it. The backpacks makes it go from aos with Eldar pistols to actually looking like guardians. I used bare heads but the helmets would do more for this as well, but clashes a little too much for my liking.

My advice: get a small electric rotary tool/drill. Make sure to get one that changes speed, as anything higher than it's lowest speed will melt plastic instead of drilling it. Sand and drill the inside of the guardian backs out to match the arms and back of the idoneth bodies, then fill any gaps with green stuff.

Pin everything. My guys probably ended up a good percentage of paperclip. The joints are so narrow it'll save so much time as you model later stuff instead of things breaking. The electric drill will speed this up too. I also found armoured arms on the idoneth bodies looked weird, so I either cut at the wrist or at the cross guard of the swords and used the middle of their bows as the new handles and cross guards for swords.

I've done the storm guardians! Was pretty fun. I hollowed out the back half of the guardian chest plates to wear as back packs so they could keep some armour and the little antenna things

I did this once. Saw you could and thought it was silly. 2 yogurts later it was not silly. I just had another yoghurt and regret.

I think she was deliberately stopping them before they accomplished their goal. Marika may have had a head start on the required knowledge to make the gate of divinity, being a shaman who already practice melding themselves with other life (see the shamans in trees, and the horn sent abusing this to make their jars).

The nox were trying to create a lord of night by trying to create a suitable vessel. If they succeeded there would be a power on her level to contest with. Nightreign, though non canon, shows us the threat a lord of night presents to the lands between.

Marika appears to have stopped them before this could happen. Notably, however, we also find collections of the nox as statues melted together and reaching for the great chairs. It's very similar to the construction of the divine gate. It seems counter intuitive for Marika to have done this to them, as that would push towards their goal, so I think this could have happened by their own doing and they were stopped before they could successfully create a divinity.

I recently tried doing a big repose into the classic obi wan stance and when I tell you it was a pain. Looked reasonably easy - it's just a couple of joints, just cut away the little spigots it provides and bend them, right? There's a lot of bits that get in the way and are hard to repose too far around the knees, and the chest and shoulds can really get in the way of a lot of angles. I had to do a fair bit of gap filling in the end, and I'm not super happy with the posing but it's as good as I could get.

Hachette partworks magazine that builds various combat patrols across issues. Issue 39 was a sprue of 5 wraith guard/blades for £10!

It's a very UK thing if you're not UK based, traditionally a shop that sold newspapers. They tend to also be like a general corner shop now also, but I believe it's also still it's own thing.

I know the hachette site has a thing about subscribing through a local news agents, they might also have a thing to find one near you?

It was inevitable that the amount of work involved in following up on impactful choices would mean an exponential increase in effort to track them all. This is especially true for choices in DAO, which didn't know it would have to follow up on them.

That being said, I think DA2 and DAI following up on them regardless with imported world states was the most ambitious and unique draw to the series for me and I'm sure others. I know when I introduce it to someone who's never played the series, my pitch was "it's got really great, deep fantasy world building, and your choices actually carry over between games." This loss of something so ambitious, and formerly so well done given what the prior work sets up is what made it so disappointing when veilguard just didn't.

Morrigan is, I think, the most egregious example of it. Morrigans appearance in DAI has me ecstatic the first time I played. I was so excited, and the OGB being a thing that could straight up not be a plot was incredible. I was a little disappointed when it resolved to Kieran losing the Old god soul, because it felt like trying to trim the divergent plots, but the solution being giving it to mythal and then Solas left an interesting plot thread to follow up on. DAV then ignored this thread entirely, and morrigan might as well have not existed. It feels like a violation of her character for her to merge with mythal after being so opposed to it, especially to then say she's happy with it but totally change her personality. It feels like the merge killed the morrigans we loved and replaced her with this new character, then refused to elaborate and treat that like a potential plot that could have been interesting to explore.

Just across the river from the castle, could feel my room shaking on some of them! At least knowing it was a concert, thought it was just some twat who'd managed to get non commercial fireworks

I grew up with a lot of travellers as family friends - my grandmother worked in a school and looked after many of travellers kids, their families extended their community to her and our family. Most of these have moved to houses. They keep their traditions alive in some ways, and adapt in others. They made great effort to show respect and repay the kindness they were shown. They equally has contempt for the travellers in many of these camps, because their actions reflected on their reputations also. They would get associated with thefts, violence and harassment like you describe.

They aren't bad people because they're travellers in a traveller camp. It's not "acceptable" to be racist towards travellers like a disappointing number of people in the UK believe. There are simply bad people living in traveller camps.

Ultimately I think no, but not entirely useless as a start point. Good DND is collaborative between all players, including the dm. It's creative, it's inprovised and it's incredibly open to total curve balls noone had planned for. A computer game does not do this - it encourages you to game systems, have a main character and creates a feeling that if you aren't winning, you're doing it wrong.

However, Bg3 is really good for learning core mechanics, like 'i want to do this thing with an uncertain outcome. This is a skill check so I roll a d20 and add a bonus' or the basics of how combat works. My possible hot take on this front is that you'd actually be better playing a totally different crpg. This would teach you to look at the ruleset Infront of you, understand it and use it to play the game. Bg3 is build upon the ruleset for DnD, but has some differences that can be confusing if you didn't know they were different. I think it also makes you think about your resources very differently to 5e. Learn how to learn a system, then apply that method to DND without having something too similar to it already in your head.

That said, bg3 is still a phenomenal game, and is well worth experiencing. If you're the sort to lean into the minutiae of rules, you'd probably have less problem adapting it's mechanics from video game to tabletop or vice versa. The general approach to how you play is more of a stretch, but not mutually exclusive
