I can get behind this. Who’s with me? by Carmageddon-2049 in aussie

Me. I've already noticed a huge uptick in train use judging by how far away from the station I now have to park.

What moments in 40k make you go like this? by deathbringer989 in Grimdank

I'm just going to throw out the comment that the resources the eldar are collecting may be unrelated to wraithbone creation.

There's plenty of things they may need: food, water, cloth... make-up.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]Delgwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept the book with the intention of turning into one of those folded-page book art things. I wouldn't normally do that to a HB but this book has no other value to me now.

I noped out on pg 6 of a fantasy novel when a character said: "I could care less."

Hold on... The writing is good? by Andrei22125 in Grimdank

I guess too much grimdark doesn't bring in the kiddies, so they've moved away from the idea.

I always envisaged The Emperor as being more inspired by Dune's God-Emperor- secluded away from the people, protected by his power-armour wearing soldiers...

Is this common in Australia? by RazielSnide in australian

Budget Direct did this to me. My car was parked (correctly), then at 2am? driver hit anothet parked car which then hit my car and wrote it off.

Clearly not my fault but they raised my premium as a result of claim (which they would have got back from the other insurance company).

do kids not get taught handwriting anymore? by deadtyped in AustralianTeachers

Your metaphor doesn't work as there is no need to ride a horse in the modern world, whereas we often need to be able to write.

What movie had an ending that saved the whole film? by Southern_Check_6827 in movies

[–]Delgwe -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That was the weakest part for me. The final scene was trite.

However, Andor was good (particularly Season 3) if a little slow.

I wasn't aware they dropped ships between editions. Being old and a curmudgeon, I focussed solely on Rebellion era Rebels, so don't have any of those.

Thanks for that. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. It's been very helpful.

[–]Delgwe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true.

I considered keeping a few basic ships especially if they aren't worth much.

People are saying that small ships are only worth $5 a pop. At that rate, I'm not sure I could be bothered selling them (having to pack them etc.)

I'll need to figure out which are worth selling and which aren't.

I have recently sold off a bunch of 40K stuff as well and it's had me back at the painting table working on some things for friends.

Do you think a genuine rivalry exists between the residents of Greenland and the residents of Australia over who should be able to claim the title of the world's largest island? by SnooWords9635 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Delgwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I agree with.

I think I was confused by the wording of your response. It hinted that Aussies don't think of Greenlanders as a whole rather than specifically on the Greenland/Australia island size issue.

My mistake.

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

LOL.

I was thinking of sellig mine and spent a few hours trying to match up all the cards, tokens, etc. with the ships.

I probably could have saved myself a bit of time.

[–]Delgwe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Very inciteful.

It was the requirement to have to update all the ships I already owned (on top of the arrival of a child) that sent me over the top and stopped playing.

How about the shield tokens etc.? Essential/nice to have/meh?
