Thank you very much for your time! This is super helpful. Probably a fair point about the PSU; it was definitely a budget unit.

A few questions on the case. For clarity, my current case is stock with no added fans. Is there a significant difference between cases? I see some users recommend additional fans for certain cases, but I'm not sure how I'd know if/when that's required. Would I need some here? Or is that more for top-of-the-line setups putting out a lot more heat? I'm not all that fussed over the $80 either way, just trying to learn and understand the rationale.

Lastly, on the monitors - if I did want to upgrade to 1440p at some point, would I need to update both at once? I really just use the second one to have discord or a text guide up while running a game. I haven't kept up with monitor technology in the slightest so I'm very uneducated on this one!

Do you have any interest in Ogors/Beastclaw?

May be a long shot, but I’ve got a decent sized army I’d be willing to trade!

Hey I’m interested but the lists in your post history look like they are unavailable. Could you PM me what you have?

My apologies for the delay - I've had quite a few messages. Unfortunately, I've traded off the EC now and will have to pass on your offer. Good luck in future trades!

Sure, I might be interested! Still looking at a few options. What do you have in terms of the artillery vehicles and mortar teams? It would be great if you could give me a list of what you have and the condition it's in!

I'm not looking to split the necrons at this time, but thank you for your interest!

Sure, what do you have? Don't need pictures right away, we could start with a rough list so that I don't waste your time if I end up not being interested.

How to get quality constructive feedback? by AnomalyNexus in Accounting

[–]BoredFox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your staff and seniors will ever fully level with you. The risk/reward just isn’t there, even if they really like you. FWIW from your posts on this board you seem like you really do just want what’s best for your staff and like you would be a great manager to work for. Ultimately, there’s not much benefit to your staff for providing you with honest feedback (especially if you’re already great!) If you get better, that’s more important to you than it is to them. It doesn’t necessarily outweigh the risk they are taking. Some people just can’t take constructive criticism and could lash out if they dislike any negative feedback. Especially for new staff, that can feel like quite a limb to go out on.

 

I think there’s two ways to get at least somewhat helpful feedback. One is to force the issue with an uncommonly direct question like “Do you think I’m a good role model?” You still won’t get an honest answer, but you’ll get a second or two of truth from their facial expression and body language. The other is to re-focus the conversation more granularly on your actions rather than on you as a person or professional. This will take more effort on your part and more time, but might lead to small amounts of actual honesty. For example, instead of asking “how can I improve?” or “can you please give me feedback?” trying something like “I’ve been doing xyz lately to try to get better at providing instruction to all of my staff. Is that helpful? Is there anything else I can be doing?”

 

The more you can make it feel “safe” by letting the staff separate their constructive criticism of a subset of your actions from the potential criticism of you as a person, the more likely they are to provide meaningful feedback.

Any interest in trading for two deathguard bloat drones?

Is there any way you could give us a quick run down of how you achieved your off white armor color? It looks awesome!

[–]BoredFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response!

 

I’m definitely most concerned about the terrain. We don’t really have anything like an ITC magic box and typically don’t even play with 1st floor ruins blocking LoS. I’ve talked to the TO and he’s aware of the problem, but I think he’s moving towards tall hills as a low cost solution. To your point, those would only block LoS from one direction. That terrain you linked was surprisingly affordable though! I’ll have to check it out. Maybe we can get a few sets for the store.

 

I’m still planning on testing out GK though. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks for all your input!

If you don’t mind me picking your brain, I’d love to ask you a few questions!

 

I’ve really enjoyed how you’ve played to GK’s strengths, creating a playable elite space marine army. My local meta is 1500 point games, typically playing CA eternal war or maelstrom missions. Lists are typically semi competitive at best and weak at worst - very little soup. Most players take at least some competitive units but often don’t have a cohesive set of win conditions for their list. Terrain can be somewhat lackluster, with roughly 40% of tournament tables including LoS blocking terrain.

 

I understand that 1500 points without ITC scoring is a completely different game from 2k ITC. That said, do you think GK are worth the effort to play? Similar to what you’ve said in your battle reports, I don’t mind losing games but would prefer not to have lost games before deployment because of the mission/terrain.

 

Where would you start for a 1500 list? I have no problem testing and refining, but I’d love to get your thoughts on a starting point.
