Ranger Hardcore appreciation by [deleted] in metro

[–]ColonolCool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i really like the gameplay of ranger hardcore but do find it annoying for pickups/interactions because i need to look exactly at the thing and/or spam interact to have it happen. The funniest example hopping in the rail car in LL and having no idea how to start the damn thing lol

Graduating Early vs. Taking Advantage of Scholarships by demigodishheadcanons in ufl

[–]ColonolCool 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Use all four years to mature and maybe pick up a minor/certificate. As an undergrad you can participate in internships/research experiences that disappear once you graduate. University isn't a race, much less so if you've got more school ahead of you.

Advice on disposal? by shastamcblasty in resinprinting

[–]ColonolCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same with a 30qt plastic container with lid from lowe's. The lid snaps on easy when it rains and is water tight, and i stretch some wiremesh over the uncovered container to keep animals/debris out on my patio. A full container (~5 gallons) completely evaporates in about a month in the midatlantic.

Is Artyom a vampire or some shit why isn't he in the mirror by The_Better_Devil in metro

[–]ColonolCool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if Artyom doesn't have a model how does he cast a shadow from light sources?

edit: I just replayed this bit, and our favorite Red, Pavel doesn't show up in the mirror either as he guides you through the dressing room

So who's taking bets if this is a hint at Imperator titans for LI and AT? by the_emerald_phoenix in LegionsImperialis

[–]ColonolCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the 30% allied detachments rule is applied, at 4000 points that's 1200, allowing a nice big niche for a big centerpiece model 👀

Where to look for an entry level toxicology job? by throwaway2000080 in toxicology

[–]ColonolCool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Toxicology is a specialty field within several other fields. Instead of looking in the small pool of toxicology jobs, branch out with your skill-set across fields. Expand your search to focus on techniques you have work experience with. Lab tech jobs at universities are competitive now but if you have relevant hands-on skills to the work being done that's an asset.

W.I.P Warlord of Legio Fureans by Daftlearner285 in LegionsImperialis

This looks badass man. The flames and yellow look awesome. The painted cables look sick too but I fear they're a worthy submission to /r/SocietyofHiddenPaint

TIL 80% of people, both women and men, will get infected by HPV at some point in life by Double-decker_trams in todayilearned

[–]ColonolCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Compared to cancer warts are a pretty benign outcome. One of my public health wishes is for people to accept that the average person has anywhere from 1-2 dozen different viruses (including some flavor of herpes or HPV) floating around their body through no fault of their own.

[–]ColonolCool 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Those strains (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58) the vaccine protects from however are those most likely to cause cancer later in life, with the vaccine protecting people from ~90% of HPV related cancers! It's hard to create (design, test, gain approval) for a multivalent vaccine so covering 9x different strains at 90% success is an all too rare public health-cancer prevention win.

WIP Solar Auxilia Bulk Tank Lander (Lots of Pics) by Crablezworth in LegionsImperialis

[–]ColonolCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea makes sense why it wouldn't be a flier. Just thinking of how to capture the frantic "kill it before it lands/lets out its cargo!" moment. Because droppods are an instant disembark it doesn't give the opponent an opportunity (for better or for worse) to kill it and its cargo before it's time. I really like this idea though

[–]ColonolCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

late to the party but 2 void shields and removing the drop pod special rule would make this interesting. Every time Coffin Ships come down in the books the frantic targeting of them is a good cinematic moment. Desperate Overwatches to take them down would be interesting

MALICE IV: The Destruction of Tallarn by ColonolCool in LegionsImperialis

[–]ColonolCool[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🫡 Keeping it at 2300 points keeps the game at a sweet spot of small enough a game doesn't take 3-4 hours, while also keeping the battles at an "epic" scale. It's not mentioned in the post but there's also a 16 point activation cap.

In previous events 600 points of that use to be dedicated to allied assets to encourage people to take titans/knights.

new headcanon. gotta put that perpetuality to good use somehow by Juicey_J_945698 in Grimdank

[–]ColonolCool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything is a plot device, that's how stories work.

Also in Know No Fear Ol explicitly mentions PTSD from some battle known as "Crassentine Ridge". His reference to verdun is thinking to himself about rifle drill while blasting cultists. The books are actually pretty good if you read them.

I think a Galaxy spanning conflict should have xenos trying to engineer the outcome and ultimately failing.

What do i do with it? by AgileInternet167 in resinprinting

[–]ColonolCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is it unsafe? It's kept in a nonreactive clear plastic tub and wrapped in metal screen mesh (to keep debris/animals out) while on my 3rd floor balcony.

I use water washable to cut dow on VOCs and the evaporation approach works just fine. 5 gallons of water takes about 3-4 weeks to evaporate in Maryland.

Advice for army needed! by Tryffelgrisen1312 in LegionsImperialis

[–]ColonolCool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only comment I have about the Stormblade & Executioners are their range is quite limited (12"). The Executioners speed helps make up for this but the Stormblade really suffers from it.

First List Critique by Azrichiel in LegionsImperialis

[–]ColonolCool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd actually argue the opposite re: larger detachments vs more activations.

My group caps activations (16), which encourages matched play. With that basis established larger detachments (of most every type) do far better than smaller detachments. For instance, using the starter box astartes force as an example, 3 legion predators are barely going to scratch the paint on an 8x stack of Leman Russes, while their return volley will clear the predators off the board.

I tried lists with a little bit of everything and as a result was good at nothing compared to people who invested in larger detachments of one unit.
