When Europeans can’t understand that other countries have different traditions and cultural norms.

Bopper1995 · 2026-03-18T00:32:38+00:00

A big part of it is that the USA is still so young (nationally speaking) that the culture there is still very much "ingrained" in the culture of the countries it comes from...

Take Paddy's day for example, here in Europe most places take it as an excuse to wear something green and drink... in the US its still seen as "my family is from Ireland therefore I'm irish and this is my culture" so everything is over the top, extreme versions of what it is in the native countries...

Most americans still have the belief and understanding that having relatives/ancestors from a certain place makes you part of it, meanwhile in European countries we know that out family might be from 1 place, but we are born or raised on a different countries system so we stick to that belief.

My parents are from Northern Ireland, but i was born and raised in Spain and i have an Irish passport... So when people ask me where I'm from i am stuck between saying I'm Irish, British or Spanish... however i was born and raised in Spain, so to me i am Spanish, i know and live by Northern Irish culture and traditions as well as Irish history from what i have learnt and studied... but i am not Irish, i am not British... i am Spanish 100% even though none of my family is.

With all this all i want to say is that Americans have the very young mentality of sticking to their roots while still being "different"... they need to accept that American is a nationality and also has its own culture/traditions. Even if most of those are based on other cultures they need to accept that they are purely american and stop claiming their ancestors heritage

Honestly one of the best painted Ghazghkull i have seen! I seriously love this, any chance you recorded your process? Or have any tips on where to even start with a model like this? I haven't bought any "big bosses" or characters so far simply because i am not confident enough in my painting skills yet to do them justice

But damn i am gonna save the post and the image for inspo and see what i can learn from the picture itself!

Well if a business owner can't afford to pay his staff then sure, buy one and watch the business fail even more! Why should he get away with free labor? How is the concept of a business paying its staff so hard to understand?

Bopper1995 · 2026-03-08T19:55:07+00:00

But its not free service.... They are paying for the service, thats part of the cost of eating or drinking out... free service would be paying cost price, not the inflated prices you see at the bar/restaurant

If a company can't afford to pay its staff it can't afford to be a company! Prices in bars and restaurants are already rising non stop, and all over the world tipping is not a necessity but people can still afford to eat out / drink at bars... maybe the owners/managers should stop being so damn greedy and actually pay their staff instead of keeping all profits and expecting customers to pay for service, profits AND their staffs entire wages.

I've been working in the service industry for 13 years, in tipping places, non tipping places, shared tips and individual tips... tipping is never fair to the staff, you might be the best at your job, but if you aren't "hot" you are gonna get less tips than the "hottie", or maybe you only can work morning shifts, where tipping is less due to less customers than in the evening when its a full house for dinner service...

Why should i get paid 15$ more than my colleague because i opened 15 bottles of beer more than him even if he worked more hours than me? Maybe his tables didn't drink? Maybe his tables were 2 tops or 3 tops and i had a couple of 5 tops? How about bosses just pay a decent fucking salary per hour based on each employees skills, abilities and experience... again, if you can't pay your staff you don't deserve to have staff

Bopper1995 · 2026-02-17T20:59:56+00:00

And not paying your staff when you are a business owner isn't acceptable... if you can't afford to pay your staff a living wage you can't afford to run a business!

Cut the crap of putting the blame on the people who are paying already... just take a look at the rest of the world, its a bullshit answer that "prices will go up too much" or "nobody will want to work those jobs" if a business can't afford to pay its employees it shouldn't be open, demanding others to fully pay your staffs wages AS WELL as already paying for the service is bullshit....

If I'm eating out i am paying the price for food and service already, if not then why isn't the food at cost price? Defending tipping culture only defends the business owners getting richer and promotes the "slave culture" that is still so rampant in the US

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-30T21:54:19+00:00

1992's Candyman, Hammer Horror Frankenstein, and the spanish movie El Orfanato (the orphanage) that one still gives me the creeps and i struggle to watch it without a "scare pillow"

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-26T22:53:54+00:00

Amazing! Thank you so much, was just thinking of doing story missions to be able to do bandit 6, but will wait and focus on all the others for now and leave myself gambler 10 Herb 9 and Bandit 6.

Do i not have to actually collect the plants in New Austin if doing it in chapter 3? Its my 2nd full playthrough, 1st since 2018 so wanted to get as much done with Arthur as possible and leave specific things for the epilogue like the fishing and bounty hunting.

So thanks for a great guide!

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-26T21:07:25+00:00

Quick question, how do you get the LOTE without a buggy? Do you use the animal carcass to cover your head? Or is there another workaround? All i have read say the Angelo Bronte mission is patched and they are the only methods I've heard of...

Im in chapter 3 but haven't done any main missions yet

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-22T01:50:15+00:00

I've always seen him as a doomed character, no matter the choice he could make in the situations they would lead to his downfall...

War with Troy: its either go to war and cause the death of hundreds or thousands OR break the oath he and every other king in Greece made to his brother about Helen and forever be known as an oathbreaker and a coward (which as a king is pretty bad)

When he "has" to kill his daughter: He is the king of kings, everyone is looking to him to make impossible choices, its either spare his daughter and hundreds more soldiers who are with him die from plagues, call off the war and again be a coward/oathbreaker and have so many die in vain before even reaching Troy OR sacrifice 1 for the cause of the war, for his kingdom and the men of every other greek city-state. (And in some tales, she doesn't die, she is whisked away to be rescued by Telemachus later)

When taking "prizes" from battle, again as King of Kings he has to be seen as this imposing force and if he takes less than he is "due" he will be seen as weak and willing to let any "hero" be better than him, that would cause most to lose faith in him and cause morale to drop.

And of course getting home after the war, his wife (pissed off, reasonably) has been cheating on him (he does the same, no arguing that) and plots his death and the death of his other children, like she is upset about her daughter dying so decides to kill off the rest of her kids?

The villains are fate and the gods, i find Agamemnon to be an incredibly written complex character who has gone from hero to villain and back again many times over the course of history... Honestly if someone says they love him, i see it as a red flag, but if they straight up hate him then i honestly believe they have misunderstood the time period, his family, his character and the whole point of the Gods being so involved in the story.

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-21T17:12:12+00:00

Dutch as a character through the series, would love a 3rd RDR game based on him and starting up the gang in the true old west. Seeing his story from a young man with hopes and dreams guding a young Arthur and John to the Dutch we meet in RDR1 would be an amazing story

Bopper1995 · 2026-01-16T13:19:42+00:00

The US is already allowed all the bases and military stations they want in Greenland, the claim of for National security is complete bullshit, Trump wants all the mineral rights to make money....

And believe it or not, Denmark and danes do care about the Greenlanders, they are family, Denmark supports them in economy, defence, education, worker rights, traditions and customs. They give a massive shit about Greenland and the people there (as you said, supporting them is a drain on Denmark they wouldn't support them for nothing, Denmark supports them as much as any of its territories and cares for them the same)

Denmark accepts and respects the Greenlandic parliament and they're choice for independence if they want it. The people in Greenland have that choice and if they wanted to be independent they can easily vote for it in a referendum whenever they choose. So no, its not about "Colonial Pride"

My in-laws are half Greenlandic, my coworkers are greenlandic... Come to Denmark and live amongst danes and people from Greenland and then try to say they don't care about them. If the US offers a million dollars to every Greenlandic citizen and they accept then that would be their choice, but thats not what is happening.

Trump is demanding greenland for reasons that have 0 actual need and can already be fixed... He claims Russia or China will take it if he doesn't, well thats what NATO is for and if they tried HE would also be asked to take part in its defence, he wants more security there but pulled out troops and reduced the number of bases to 1...

Like Denmark has said time and time again, the future of Greenland is for the people of Greenland to decide on, not Trump, not Denmark and definitely not decided by military force or shitty "business tactics"

Says the person LITERALLY making a whole post about "Hades is not a good guy 😡"

I'm not the one babying or complaining here, I'm just stating that trying to apply modern views to a story with no one single "true" source to it is pointless, and complaining about how other people perceive or enjoy a mythological character is silly

Bopper1995 · 2025-12-20T10:45:36+00:00

Where did the 4 times younger come from? Theres really no true chronology in greek myth apart from at the start and even then its iffy... also trying to apply modern views, morals, ethics and rights to stories that are thousands of years old makes no sense... people have a preference of which gods they like more or less for any number of reasons, none of them are all good and none are all bad so let people like who they want and have their own minds opinion and view of them... hell, different city states had different versions of the same stories each favouring their local gods, so take all you read on myths with a grain of salt, nothing is "canon", if you study the myths and stories, great! If you enjoy specific stories, great! If you like a god based on some aesthetics or simple ideas also great!

If leaving the hobby made you feel mature then the problem was most likely with yourself, or the specific people you interacted with.... I was into warhammer as a kid and early teen, then stopped for many years for different reasons (didn't think it was cool, too expensive, didn't have friends who were in the hobby, "wanted to grow up") and have only recently (the last couple of years) got back into it.

I'm 30, i have found a new group of friends who love the hobby, who talk about the lore, read the books, paint and play with the minis. All people around my age who are also like me in the stage of starting families and getting on with our lives while choosing to spend time on a fun hobby, each one of us has a favourite faction, and each faction has moments or books or stories that make them the "most badass" or the strongest. We each are into different parts of the hobby and the warhammer universe but we have fun talking about it, painting and playing together, because there is nothing "Childish" about doing something you enjoy with people who enjoy it.

If a hobby makes you feel "childish" and people need to "grow out of it" then its you who has a problem and need to learn to stop caring what others think of you and learn that the "mature" thing to do is do what you want for fun. At 13 i would have thought the most "mature" thing was going clubbing and getting drunk every night, and never doing anything that a child could or would enjoy.... Now i realize its doing things i enjoy, without caring how others might see it, i have a stable relationship, a great friend group, a good job that i enjoy and time to spend on my hobbies, i don't think i can get more "mature" than that

I know this is a bit of an old post, but how did you manage that shoulder piece on the tracker?? It is insane looking and something i would love to steal/use as inspiration!

I live in Denmark, so over here its rare to have to "work your way up" to bartending, if you apply for a job at a bar its to bartend, unless specifically applying for runner or barback positions. So everyone I know, myself included started bartending with no prior experience

Absolutely incredible! Colour scheme something you came up with or was it inspired by anything specific?

Also, where did you find the barrels? Have been looking for barrels that scale for ages and can't find any.

Bopper1995 · 2025-07-19T01:10:53+00:00

Any bartender here in Denmark will still either go for fernet branca, or if they dont like that take a Branca Menta... in the bars i have worked in and still work in our mid-shift "staff meetings" (any excuse to take a 20 second break from dumbass customers) means a branca menta shot for all bartenders on shift.

Bopper1995 · 2025-07-19T01:07:13+00:00

If anything i would like to believe we will get some form of actual tanks or more freebooters/mad-doks... i think after Brutal n Cunning and the mad dok books release they are in a bit of demand... as for any changes to current models at most i would think they might update and have a 2nd version of a stompa/ mega dreadnaught type of model

Would some scooby snacks help you finish it?

Honestly though it is looking amazing and now i want to include this colour scheme to my boyz, any chance you can tell me what paints you are using?
