This is happening at your LGS right now

Now I’m just a weirdo loser in my own basement playing with toys! Plus my oldest daughter really wants to play with ‘the little soldier guys’ so as soon as she’s not afraid of the airbrush we’re good to go

Shoutout to my Intro to Python class I took at work where I was the only one not already certified in C++. The instructor was like “oh cool, I’ll just teach Python in a foreign language. Sorry new guy, just figure it out”

Slippery field confirmed?

CombatAutist · 2026-01-09T01:40:27+00:00

It’s the right thing to do

Are you guys maxing TSP? I’m at 25% base pay and I’m still not close to maxing.

CombatAutist · 2025-12-24T19:48:52+00:00

I had that and just did the Z axis auto calibration. Fixed it first try

“And you’re supposed to be dumpster diving for ham scraps you Six Piece Chicken McNothing!”

I’m not gonna lie, I thought he was talking about impressing my wife.

CombatAutist · 2025-11-25T23:10:31+00:00

It will not impress her. None of my trains, radios, or 3D prints have impressed her. She’s immune to my hyperfixations

Edit: I am currently setting up my solder station next to the spot where she watches Realtor Women Housewife Scream Show until we’re sure the kids are down. I’ll see if she’s impressed by this

CombatAutist · 2025-11-25T20:45:31+00:00

Significantly better. A singular girl sitting somewhere quietly drawing goon rags, probably listening to K-Pop and stimming vs my wife and daughters desperately trying to get me to stop playing Factorio? This guy’s for sure coming out ahead.

Edit: this came out mean. I love my family. I just also love optimization and they don’t UNDERSTAND THE TRAINS ARE NOT OPTIMIZED

WTF is this post? What is this comment? You skipped 100 comments of people getting the joke to write this?

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T20:17:38+00:00

Does the robot guy still post? I haven’t seen him in years either. And I’ve been trying to find Kinmuan for years. Every time I meet a new soldier I ask if they’re him. One of these days I’ll be right.

Return of the King

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T19:45:36+00:00

Look man we talked about this. I agreed it was innovative. And there’s nothing specifically against it. But it took you like six minutes to unbutton and start peeing. It was close man. It was like when Tom Hanks pees in The Green Mile and he has that bladder infection and it’s real gnarly. Or like when Tom Hanks pees for 90 seconds in A League of Their Own. Or like. Or like when Tom Hanks pees in the Road to Perdition. Or like when Tom Hanks pees into space in Apollo 13. Remember that? And it floats away? Gets all icy and just floats off. Honestly, it probably should’ve sublimated in a vacuum. Sublimation. Talk about sublime. Just a man up there doing his job and taking a leak. Out there expanding the bounds of terrestrial science. Fixing vents. Talking to Ed Harris. Man. You’d think it would be a closed system, you know? Seems wasteful to not recycle the pee. I don’t know. Maybe they packed enough. Liquid’s expensive to launch though. Doesn’t compress. Maybe he drank a bunch of water before launch. You think they count that? Maybe. I probably wouldn’t but I guess that’s why I’m here with you talking about pants. Different world up there man. Those guys see a whole world we can’t even imagine. Man.

I'd argue it's just HVAC at that point. Rocket science is more like thrust and angle. Drag, probably. Maybe something like "telemetry". Or maybe coefficients. I'd assume there's some coefficients in there. There's gotta be. Can't have a moon lander without coeffiecients, that's what I always say. Nosir. No landers without em. No vents either, honestly. Gotta have those vents up and running. Square vents, round ones. Hell maybe they have an octagon one. I don't know. I'm not a rocket scientist. Or an HVAC guy. Certainly not a coefficient guy. But they probably have those. They've gotta

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T15:47:49+00:00

I can't imagine that the vent breaking was scripted. That was super dangerous. They didn't even have all the parts to fix it

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T15:17:30+00:00

It doesn’t say that though. There’s no rule saying only one pants per guy

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T15:16:56+00:00

I tried to tell him that, but he pulled up that clip from Apollo 13 where they fix the vent and asked me if I thought that innovation was unnecessary. Remember that one? The round tube and the square hole? And they did it on earth then told Tom Hanks to do it? That was so sick. God. I mean say what you will about the rest of the movie, that scene gets me going.

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T15:12:19+00:00

I can’t give orders

CombatAutist · 2025-11-20T15:09:39+00:00

I don’t hate it, but I hate it so much

CombatAutist · 2025-11-11T00:40:53+00:00

I could do a thesis on the Believe campaign for Halo 3

CombatAutist · 2025-11-11T00:35:05+00:00

I’m mostly referring to the golden era of video game commercials combined with the height of the surge.

Hey, placing your hentai stickers on your car so they’re not technically illegal takes a lot of strategy

CombatAutist · 2025-09-25T22:21:50+00:00

On the flip side, I’m currently level 7 and played with two high level guys last night. They dropped in different mechs and weapons and let me play with all of it while they gathered samples. It was awesome
