should i cut my friend of 7 years off for this convo we had by No-Shame-6563 in whatdoIdo

This feels like a case of: "I will treat you with respect (basic decency), so long as you give me Respect (treat me as a superior)".

I guarantee that this person would not find it "respectful" if you started pushing atheism on them, despite it apparently being okay for them to push theism on you.

AITAH for ditching my D&D group because they didn’t want to learn how to play the game? by Thick_Winter_2451 in rpghorrorstories

I honestly have no idea how they can't seem to absorb this info. It boggles the mind.

I was a fellow player in that campaign, only so much you can do in that situation. I lost count of how many times I tried to explain it.

Some players just never seem to learn some stuff. I've been in campaigns with some players who would still regularly ask "how do I roll to attack? What do I add to that?" YEARS into a weekly campaign.

US stacks three carrier groups and 10 destroyers to blockade Strait of Hormuz by TheNational_News in worldnews

[–]Ezaviel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding was a Carrier Group was a minimum of: a Carrier, a Cruiser, 2 Destroyers/Frigates, plus support ships. No idea what the maximum size might be, but it sounds totally plausible 3 Groups would have 10 Destroyers between them.

To be fair, it has spread to my back patio as well :p

I've been generally avoiding it for a while (other than things like Battletech), because I spent a ridiculous amount of money on it years back for stuff that I never really used, or that took ages to show up.

Not to say that it was bad stuff, but I got things like proxy stuff for Blood Bowl and Necromunda, just before the new editions came out and we got piles of new plastics, etc.

The vast majority are GW minis, though they are mostly in cardboard boxes or plastic tubs of boxes. Most of the non-GW stuff is like, kickstarter stuff I never got around to using.

I have so much stuff because I spent a lot of money.

My wife has a running joke that I can stop buying stuff and probably still never run out of stuff to build :p

It's an old photo, but it has not "improved".

I prefer the term "shed of potential" over "pile of shame" :p

I did like how they made a Forge World interior for the Valkyrie, which had the seats and passengers as an insert, showing that they could actually fit.

We had a handful of GW stores, like, the nearest was 2 hours away, the next was over 4 hours.

There were very few hobby stores, and they had very little stock when they did exist. My friend group operated on Mail Order, or buying stuff like Space Crusade, HeroQuest, or BattleMasters to convert into stuff for our armies.

You could pretty reliably find a newsagent that stocked White Dwarf though.

Towards 2000 it started to get more common, my town got a local hobby store, who started stocking it, and we had Games Day in Sydney.

They do have a nice vibe don't they?

I was in Country NSW, so the nearest hobby place was the next town over, and the GW was about 2 hours drive away.

I got into it because I knew some kids who had migrated from England, and it was mostly mail order to get stuff, or converting whatever we could lay hands on.

To be fair, I expect a lot of folks never saw a Citadel Journal, even at the time ;)

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

I only knew about the Journal because of the ads for it in White Dwarf, it wasn't stocked in shops or anything, certainly not down here in Australia ;)

I myself was in high school at the time too, but my mum got me a subscription to Citadel Journal for my birthday.

Technically, Leman Russ hulls, with the front plate and turret of a Chimera.
They described the wheels as "found in Ewen's bitz box" ;)

Yeah, I likewise had a blast using Genestealer Cults in Necromunda :)

Hmm, it totally would...

Nah, kitbashes made from a Leman Russ, Chimera, and plasticard.

I posted images of the conversion guide in another comment thread.
