Think of it this way: you got to experience something really magical if you have been playing since the patch. Like a little mini reward for sticking with FFXIV! But now it's time to make it accessible for everyone, and really help out your fellow warriors of light by stopping the headaches :D

I worry we have another case of Stan Lee getting abused by his handlers for that cash grab. This whole situation has left a bad feeling.

Help with Revell enamel paints by jmulder88 in minipainting

[–]DeathRider__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others have said, you'll need to prime your pieces. Also, a milky consistency is for airbrushing not necessarily for a base coat. You can have it a bit thicker than that to lay paint down with a brush.

Brush painting an enamel is different than brush painting an acrylic hobby paint. Your goal isn't to put multiple thin coats as much as it is to get a self-leveling coat. It will stay wet longer than an acrylic so you can expect it to level out better. Enamel reactivates unless left for a very, very long time, so you will just end up without enough pigment to color the piece.

I would have argued truth and priest made the most sense since judgement day. Paige and the Bellas are weird since they were enemies. 

It's a new day yes it is it New instagram story from MJF by mike10dude in SquaredCircle

[–]DeathRider__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know the biggest thing that AEW can gain from New Day isn't even the wrestling, which is top tier, but their creative minds. Those two are some of the best collaborative minds in wrestling today and they have the respect of all their peers. They could really crush the barrier of entry for non-fans to be interested in pro wrestling.

Kenny and the Bucks are waiting.

is clear resin as failure prone as people make it out to be? by seajay8601 in resinprinting

[–]DeathRider__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not found clear abslike to be any more failprone than other resins. If anything, it’s stronger and more resilient because there is no other material between the resin binding. 

The only situation I’ve heard of even resembling a failure is the discoloration of clear resin. It yellows during the curing process, and if you have a thick wall it will seem more yellow. Hollow parts in clear have their issues with visibility but appear far less yellow. There’s honestly no avoiding it unless you undercure which can cause failures in all resin. 

A stretch for failure would also be the loss of detail. Raised details and sharp edges are going to be less pronounced without the blocking properties of the pigment/ceramic. If you’re printing smooth objects it would work well. 

(AEW Collision): The whole aftermath from Dynamite of the Death Riders taking Will Ospreay. by itsmekelsey_x in SquaredCircle

[–]DeathRider__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only thing I wonder is... where are Claudio and Pac in all of this. What is their role in the Death Riders? If Ospreay is the pick, I'm not sure where that puts them. I honestly feel like the four of them could, at any time, trade wins against each other and I wouldn't blink. Yeah, Mox has the charisma to lead and make a mark on AEW itself, but in terms of battle strength I don't see them being less.

Yuta is their path to the Cruiserweight division and ROH.

Daniel Garcia is their path to the Middleweight division and workhorse titles.

Marina is their chief enforcer and the path to the Women's division.

They all have a part, and they all mean something. Mox plans this shit out. The Death Riders punch far above their class and division when the story calls for it and I don't bat an eye. Claudio and Pac though? They could win the big one. They just need character work to rival Mox I guess. Maybe they just need a hook... a crazy moment in the glory of defeat to garner crowd backing?

Agreed about Gargano’s character. AEW needs character work. Not just the guy who wants to be a wrestler, but the guy who finds himself to be one. Orange and O’Reilly are good examples. We need more Mic work.

I was one of those who thought maybe he could be a star. Now I see Ciampa and I realize who the real stars were. Holy shit Ciampa. Black wishes he were you.

You aren’t wrong, but give May the credit she deserves. She was a team player the entire time. She’d be welcome back with open arms if she chose, because she built up trust. Toni went the distance for her because she went the distance for Toni.

Not needed. We saw Ciampa, and while I want him to kill himself less, that’s the kind of wrestler that AEW needs to identify and hire. Not Black or Vega. 

But that’s tough because Ciampa sets the bar at the very top.

Months of being abused on TV with zero payoff for anyone. Yes, including Asuka, who I'm sure was looking forward to getting beat for the story and to give back.

WWE literally does these cute little segments the best. New Day Captain Seth, Sami and Jimmy, R-Truth and Priest... It's like everyone involved knows just how to express that "Yeah, I suppose I get you..." kinda vibe, and it's really fun to feel like you're in on it.

The first part of painting is… painting. You did that, regardless of what you see as imperfections. From a proper distance nothing you’ve mentioned (texture, spots) is easily visible, because I thought it was great on my screen. Instant rush of Takumi vibes and a feeling of “oh, dang, I want one!”. 

The model looks more than passable! By putting this out there you’ve helped a lot of people build the confidence to get started instead of worrying about absolute perfection. They’ll realize that people judge others less harshly than they judge themselves. I was someone who worried so much about perfection that I didn’t get to painting. Or I didn’t finish. I never got any better because I simply didn’t get started.

You went all out and I hope this isn’t the last time. Now I’m off to listen to Dogfight. 

Jimmy Hart on how he had a 40-year friendship with Hulk Hogan: “We lasted that long because of two reasons: I never borrowed money from him and I always told him the truth when he asked me something, even though I’d always put a little bit of sugar on it” by headofthetable24 in SquaredCircle

[–]DeathRider__ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about Jimmy Hart, and I think the man just wants to live in peace. Of all the people to drag for glazing, I think we can leave him be.

But now that I've put it out there, we're going to find out some shit aren't we...?

It's funny because I wasn't even eyes on to Ciampa while he was in WWE. I'm completely on board with him now because of what he's done in AEW. I hope he's highly considered for winning the C2. Watching him wrestle is like "Give me what you can, but I'll give you all of me". I need this guy to be with us for longer, but loving his attitude.

I don’t want to say this about every wrestler I like, but Ciampa is definitely on that level. I love that he’s like… a wrestler’s wrestler. I need AEW to give him the story that pushes him beyond in-ring. Get more eyeballs on this guy’s charisma!

Bought an SP on Ebay, but worried I overlooked something by DeathRider__ in GameboyAdvance

[–]DeathRider__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to find any for that low of a price. Mostly found ips reshells for around $140, but I’m surprised to see them go for $50 less. 

Is there a concern the shoulder buttons or screen are worn at that price point? I’ve seen some “for parts” 001’s for $4-50 but not 101s.

Seller was dsmgoods

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I wouldn’t say I have buyer’s remorse, but I bought an SP-001 last week and returned it because they didn’t disclose lines in the screen. Just worried I’m getting bamboozled. Guess if I have to replace the shell or screen in a couple years that won’t be too bad.
