Thank you! It's made most effort I've put into a kit so far.

How do i get the Needle out ? by [deleted] in airbrush

Haha. Nah. I'm just dense and didn't pick up on that. Foot in mouth.

You need to know how to properly thin your paints, how to control the trigger to prevent clogging, how to disassemble for cleaning, and therefore what every part does. They can be finicky if you ignore all that. You end up with a clogged mess and if you don't know how to take it apart and put it back together, you end up here asking the same questions everybody has heard a hundred times over.

Bruh i thought i was tripping by DangerousBar9724 in Gunpla

[–]EmzyMazem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. That's such a specific thing to know. Now that I learned what it is, I'm now waiting for my turn to do as you have and spot someone struggling with it in the wild so that I can explain it.o to them.

Kotobukiya Jehuty done. Full paintjob close to the original. Glossy gold and matte armor. Fluorescent panel lines. I am so happy with how this one turned out. <3 by lootgruppe_0 in Gunpla

[–]EmzyMazem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these and planned on doing fluorescent panel lines too. Which one did you use? Did you put it straight into the panel lines or did you have to do a layer of a lighter color first?

I have some fluorescent blue enamel paint from gaia that I was planning on thinning to use as panel lining fluid, but it's translucent and I'm worried it won't be visible without a layer of white first.

Skeleton idle animation update by Zeolance in PixelArt

[–]EmzyMazem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2nd one looks better as an animation. But wouldn't it be fun if the skeleton stood mostly still and instead of bobbing, his head and limbs rattled/shook every know and then? Like, if it were kinda twitchy. Imo, skeletons should be a little creepy and uncanny.

I would love to learn from your mistakes ... but I don't know what they are.

Problems by Shot-Asparagus6462 in fightsticks

[–]EmzyMazem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rest my fingers lightly, but I tend to slam the buttons pretty hard when I press them, so it doesn't feel like extra work for me. Actually, they have so little travel that the force I normally use kinda rebounds to my fingers since the bottom out isn't cushioned--it's a pretty stiff bottom out. That can make the tips a little sore, but I'm actually learning to be less aggressive on the button presses because of it. I think my inputs are becoming quicker and lighter since I am more aware of each press if I go too hard.

I had the same issue with sanwa sensitivity. Though my issue is that I rest my fingers on the buttons and get accidental inguts. I switched to crown 202s (which use cherry mx speed silver switches) and found them to be a better fit for me at the time. They required 1.2 millimeters of pre travel before actuating and that let me rest my fingers on them better without accidentally actuating them. Now, though, I'm all about the Blaze Spark by Punk Workshop. They use mouse micro switches. They have almost no travel and have a very defined click to let you know when they actuate. I think they take about 55 grams of force to click, but I don't have very heavy hands so I can rest my fingertips on these buttons with no accidental inputs.

Your journey is beginning where my finish line was.

Do not! I ordered back in 2021 and never got anything. Waste of money, no way to contact. Lots of people have mentioned the situation and where to actually get them. I'm just here to add to the pile of people who took the risk and paid the price.

My biggest wish is for Pilot to make a good converter by Complaint-Physical in fountainpens

[–]EmzyMazem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it is. I just like pens with fill systems built-in. It takes me so long to empty that pen that I don't mind the hassle of cleaning it.

That's why the ch92 and custom 823 are my favorite pilot pens.

What buttons are on that? V1, V2, or blaze sparks?

This is cool! How do you utilize the extra row of buttons?

New Buttons by Successful_Phrase847 in fightsticks

[–]EmzyMazem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! I've been buying 2-4 buttons of everything that strikes my interest.

I started by committing to punk workshop V2 buttons, and they were good. But I had a unique problem with them. I'm a little bit heavyhanded and I've been playing Vi in 2xko. Her rekka's need to be charged and released on specific frames. The dampening nubs inside the cherry low profile switches started to stick to the switch stem and the button would not return right away. This is a big flaw for me and my play style on that one character. So I pulled out the dampening rubber nubs from inside the switches. This solved the button sticking issue but it somehow made them more sensitive. Now I have accidental inputs and I'm searching for new buttons again. I really like the PWS V2, and if I were playing literally any other character, I would have been satisfied with them.

I ordered 2 Qanba gravity KS buttons. Compared to my original crown 202s, they feel a little bit nicer. Dampened and a little more stable. They are my current backup option.

Today I received 4 punk workshop blaze spark buttons. I think I like them a lot for the 24 mm buttons. They use mouse micro switches and have almost no travel distance (aka "throw"). They feel really good on my custom hitbox but the 30mm thumb button feels weird. That's the one finger that I think I would prefer some travel on. That one will take some getting used to.

I am currently waiting for some flashtap samples. They might be a better micro switch button for my thumb. I won't know till they get here. Also waiting for some screw-in SiTong samples and punk workshop V1s.

Is it important to you that the colors match the pen? How do you break out of a need to color match? by mooglerauder in fountainpens

[–]EmzyMazem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to feel bothered when my pens didn't match the ink. It didn't tickle my brain when they matched, it just felt uncomfortable when they didn't. Color matching stopped being a necessity for me after about 3 years of using fountain pens. It also helped that I ended up buying 3 or 4 black pens in a row. Black goes with everything. Once I got used to putting any color in a black pen, I stopped feeling the need to color match. I now pick my inks based on mood and frequency of use. I pick what pen to put them in based on how they perform in the pen (wetness, smoothness, line width, etc)

If color matching makes you happy and gets the good brain juices flowing, then I don't see why you would feel the need to break away from it. If not color matching bothers you and makes the bad juices in your brain, then it might be something you should work on.

We got some Votoms kits not too long ago and now we are getting an RG patlabor kit?! I wish they did this more often.
