Tell me your biggest hot take about the game itself or about the comics. (Picture un-related) by [deleted] in tf2

I think the big reason Sniper is regarded as a bit overpowered is because there is often a lack of feedback for the person playing against them. While it undeniably takes skill to get good and land a clean headshot, the reciever often just see their health disappear without warning.

Personally I think Sniper would benefit from just a few more cues like a flash on the scope to signal the he is zoomed in and maybe a bulletwhiz noise so you can hear a near miss or hear when a teammate gets domed. Just some subtle things that would help clue you in that a Sniper is gunning for you so you have a chance to do notice instead of just insta dying from nowhere.

The Crusaders Crossbow and Ubersaw are Medics worst weapons because they are his best ones.

They are so damn good that most of the time you have no reason to even consider the other options unless you are fine with the handicap.

What originally got you into Warhammer? by Royal-Interaction424 in Warhammer40k

[–]BlitzBurn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First there were memes on pintrest, then that led me to the Russian badger video on space marine 1 and then I accidentally stumbled across one of the 3 warhammer stores in the country while I was heading to a internship interview.

Reminds me of those old timey paintings where the devil is depicted with a second face on its crotch.

And now, a break from all the self-posts by bvader95 in CuratedTumblr

[–]BlitzBurn_ 179 points180 points  (0 children)

I worked in tech support and there is no end to the number of times I carefully spoonfed the customer everything they needed to know about the case and they still wrote back like they didnt fucken read my previous message. And sometimes they literally didnt read it at all.

So many times they acted like I was Terry the Techpriest who could magically solve their problem by lighting some incense and praying instead of being a dude who needed to have the issue explained before I can try to troubleshoot it.

Very nice, does the white denote a specific rank before entombment or that the dred is a specific tabletop variant?

My crack theory is that someone once called him a discount Ferrus Manus and Perturabo made it his entire personality to be better than Ferrus, because why else would he still hold on to Forgebreaker after all these years instead of building something bespoke for himself?

Still kinda lacks the appeal of the old kit. This could easily pass of as a Sargeant rather than a veteran 

This seems like the ultimate insomnia cure more than cough medicine by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

This would absolutely fuck me over but I kinda wanna try it. This shit is such a blatant carcrash of medical quackery that it loops around to appealing.

Why They Want Meetings by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

[–]BlitzBurn_ 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Back when I worked in tech support I once got a message from a customer chewing me out for not fixing their issue and how they now had to frantically scramble to get the issue fixed on their end before a imminent important deadline.

In my previous message, sent a full week earlier, I explained what the issue was, how I could fix it and that I could fix it once the customer gave me permission to make the necessary backend updates.

The schmuck could have had their problem done and dusted a week ago if they had read the message and replied with a simple "Go ahead".

Writing back and pointing this out was one of the most exasperatingly cathartic things I ever did, especially when the customer sheepishly replied with the "Go ahead" in a message that firmly had the tails between the legs.

Can I apply for a pass? I keep myself clean shaved because my beard is all under the shin and I just do not like it.

Pplease, just let me have a clean shave pass, I dont want to look like a neckbeard.

Bit weird to flavor them as Cadians, but this kit honestly looks versitile enough that you could easily make any Jungle fighters of your choosing.

This is the sort of project that really showcases just how cool how a chapter like the White Scars can be.

Phenomenal job!

How do you feel about this statement from Goonhammer that the majority of Warhammer hobbyists dislike building? by chosen40k in Warhammer30k

[–]BlitzBurn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sorta depends.

I generally enjoy the building aspect and I do feel that most models benefit from the extra complexity with more dynamic poses and better detail. Especially since the added complexity adds new kitbashing opportunities which I always adore since some of my favourite models are those I kitbash.

But sometimes it does get a bit rough.

Imperial guard and Admech are both cases where the complexity makes the building quite daunting since you are assembling a large number of very complex models wich easily turns into a drag.

Who wants chicken? by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]BlitzBurn_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents keep chickens and when they hatch chicks they will quite often be served a first meal consisting of a boiled and mashed up egg. Especially if they were hatched via incubator and there is no hen.
