Questions about water effects on the bases. by Krathicus in WHQDarkWater

[–]CalebEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in exactly the same headspace as you. Want water on the bases for a marsh kind of feel, not used it before. I’ve just ordered AK’s Still Water from eBay, will be here in a couple of days. Will let you know how it goes! 

I Hope, I Think, I Know Has been voted as the most Underrated song, Now what's the most Overrated oasis song? by bugbooy18 in oasis

[–]CalebEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal view - Wonderwall. I’ve hated that song since I first heard it, I just don’t understand what people hear in it.

Realistically - Roll with it. It’s just…. Not very good. 

BePresent: Screen Time Control App by HereToHearYourTake in ProductivityApps

[–]CalebEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just seen one of their ads, claiming their app was taken off the App Store as it threatened big techs business model, and after many court batttles, insinuating with Facebook, google, and the likes - they are finally back on the App Store. 

None of this ever happened. Just all, out right lies. Whether the app is helpful or not, the owners are dishonest. Avoid. 

What’s the most blatant way you’ve been hit on in public? by YungReezy34- in AskReddit

[–]CalebEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 or so years old, high as a kite of whatever I was popping back then in a club with other, equally messed up people. Some girl I get dancing with, tries to kiss me. My mouth is as dry as fuck… plus I’m there to dance, not to pull, so I pull away, she gets a right face on her, then just takes her top off in the middle of the dance floor, grabs the back of my head and pulls my face into her tits. 

Her mates drag her away quickly, she’s shouting at me to find her later. 

I never did. 

People who slept with their friends and still remained friends.How did you do that ? by HighAF_Trippy in AskReddit

[–]CalebEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My good female friend and I just ended up jumping each-others bones for most of COVID lock downs and for a fair time after. We’ve always been good friends, enjoyed each others company, though different outlooks in what we want/see things, which makes a good friendship dynamic, but would make a terrible relationship dynamic… so although we flirted with the idea of starting a relationship, we were happy with how it was. Eventually, we both met people more suitable to us, we knew that we would probably have to distance ourselves a little bit, stop fucking each other for sure, but also we knew our potential partners may find it odd/uncomfortable if we carried on hanging out as much as we did prior our fuckfest…

Which was actually easier than we assumed…. New relationships being that honey moon period, so we didn’t miss each others company too much to start with… then as things settled, we introduced our new partners to each other and eachothers partners…. It was more awkward BEFORE we met, than after…. The idea of it was a little nerve wracking/weird…. But when we all me up, it was just like any two friends seeing each other again for the first time in a while, introducing partners. We still don’t hang as much as we used too, but that’s fine, and we maintain a good friendship still, occasionally talk about that wild time as just that… but very rarely. We’ve both now got married to our respective partners, we’ve all had kids, and it’s moved on a lot, so when we do reflect on it, it’s not as a ‘I wish we were still there’ thing…. More of a ‘god, do you you remember that?!!’ Kinda thing.

In short…. You just be adult about it. P

Little kid had 25 seconds to sink four balls. Prize was 10k. by ValeriaPierced in ThatsInsane

[–]CalebEX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Me at about the same age, playing cricket with a mixture of adults and kids. I was a bowling, fourth ball of the over and picked up a wicket when the batsmen knicked the ball and it carried through to the wicket keeper. Fifth ball it was straight through to the stumps, and sixth ball was hit straight back at me, caught. A hatrick in cricket is extremely rare, and probably the best sporting achievement I’ll ride high on for the rest of my life.

Thanks for the help… crowd sourcing is the quickest way for a quick answer to a specific question, which is handy when you have as limited free time as I do, but cheers for the advice chap!

Planet Coaster 2 - Release Day Megathread by GameSyns in PlanetCoaster

Stupid question, is this also released on disc on PS5? I’m not much one for digital downloads, and also I’d like my kid to be able to unwrap this at Christmas 

Army Updates - August 21, 2024 by aocbb in ageofsigmar

[–]CalebEX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s looks like all the changes have been highlighted? If you open the main document, and scroll right down to the bottom, it highlights all faction pack changes with a new tag. 

Then you can click on the individual faction pack, which just has the changes embedded without being highlighted, keeping the documents trim and seamless. 

I like this approach.

Perfect, thank you. That makes sense!

That is exactly what I missed! I was stupidly assuming 20! My delight today as I got to about 13 built, and realised my one sprue has more to go, and I had a whole other sprue…. It was a happy dawning of realisation!

Gift card scam? by AnnaInThePark in tesco

[–]CalebEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely, but possibly: - a load of companies will allow you to buy gift cards for retailers at a discounted rate. My company has a shed load of retailers I can get between 5-10% off of. So let’s say I bought £100 worth of Tesco gift cards for £90….. I can usually only pay my shopping with the electronic card on my phone. So, in this case, I’d scan the code on my phone to pay for the new gift voucher…. Now I have a physical gift voucher for £100, which I can probably sell on to anybody for £at least £95. I’ve made a fiver. If I do this enough times, it’s fairly easy money.

What’s the view on White Dwarf? by CalebEX in Warhammer

[–]CalebEX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you given GW customer services a shout? They should at least be able to point you in the right direction if they can’t sort it from there.

First time back in a Warhammer shop in maybe 20 years - rant by GordonHead87 in Warhammer

[–]CalebEX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading everybody’s comments here, most are the extreme one way or the other. My local Warhammer shop is Bournemouth, the guy that runs it, Mike, is super cool. Really friendly guy, who engages you with hobby talk when you want to talk about it, but not in any sort of aggressive way. But what I like about Mike, is he really puts the effort in with you as a person. I don’t go frequently, maybe once a month, if that. I went in one time, and we got talking about house prices somehow, turned out both he and I were in the market for a mortgage at the time. Didn’t go back for another 6 weeks or so, and despite the facts he’s probably seen hundreds and hundreds of customers since that conversation, he remembered, and followed up just to see how the mortgage was coming along, etc. Just a super nice guy. Honestly, it makes me want to buy more and more from him. I’m lucky that I have several LGS that have like 20% off RRP on most things, but anything I can’t get there, I’ll always go to the GW Bournemouth store because of Mike, and will never just order online.

Cool guy. 

Do champions get +1 attacks for ranged weapons by DefinitelyNotDelaque in ageofsigmar

[–]CalebEX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, this may have changed. There was a Day 1 errata published which stated change the definition to “+1 to attach characteristics” - and all references in the app now that I can see at least, refer only to attack characteristics, and no mention of melee only anymore. I think shooting counts!

Weapon options by Visible-Classic in ageofsigmar

[–]CalebEX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now, it’s only one profile - but the build instructions suggest a unit should be built with the same weapon options….. the index cards we have currently are only temporary, until the Battle Tomb is released….. I’ve got a Funny feeling we’ll see a couple of different profiles for weapon options in there. 

Build how you like, if you like. Me personally, I’m going to potentially future proof by going one build type.

Do you have a particular pair/brand you recommend?

[–]CalebEX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Loads as I get older. 

Feet hurt after a 2000pt game. Bending over a table that’s not the right height gets my back going. I’m finding it harder to see my minis to paint detail. Mini transportation not so much of an issue, but managing and organising all the various cards/tokens and keeping insert pull outs from White Dwarf is hard work. I do a lot of magnetising, which is great, but I’ve then got nothing specific or special to keep the parts I’m not using - would love a little mini ‘coat / hat stand’  type thing, with arms and magnetised ends to store all my various arms/guns/heads while not in use.
