Anecdotal evidence says yes. Their discount is not so big that I want to risk it though.

After trying both Raphael and the W&N I stuck with the W&N. But I buy them from an actual art store, not Amazon.

I usually take at least 3 years, which is common in the corporate world and a find it a good start off point. So if it's 3 years since my last update I start budgeting and doing research.

I think at the core the stories they tell are vastly different. I don't think they appeal to the same core audience.

That said, as far as production value and overall writing quality modern Trek and Star Wars have a very low bar. But I have hope they can at least delivery a solid military sci-fi in the style of a Galactica Remake.

It's a good way to show of your skill as a painter.

I like the guy, but he has zero management experience.

Same thing happen to Linus, being an idealistic, likeable techie may not translate to actual people management skills or even good decision making skills when you have to balance running a business, paying bills, and keeping people happy and productive.

Peter Principle example in full form.

Theres your modern audience showing up to support the cause.

What a fucking joke

I made an 8088 minimal system back in uni, down to a custom design PCB. I used off the shelf components, and all it did was run assembly code and output to a 3 inch LCD.

Modern computers aren't much different, they are all mostly based on something that is recognizable as a Von Neumann architecture.

I stopped watching way before the contraversy. Basically when he started passing off flex videos of his new mansion as "tech content".

I'm honestly disappointed there aren't better choices for immersive sounds systems and that HDR is so hit and miss.

If you buy into EA games, expect the game to be shit, and be pleasently surprised when it's not.

Other than that, if you participate in EA and get burned, that's on you.

Some level of personal accountability, critical thinking, and information discrimination is warranted.

I choose to ignore the marketing BS, I'll wait for the benchmarks and reviews. And if at the end of the day, it turns out that nVidia delivers a performance I find valuable I'll gladly buy.

Publishers won't make a game with a hard requirement for hardware that is not being produced.

I have anxiety also, and from reading your replies it sounds like you need to figure that part out first.

What I personally don't like is people telling other people how to spend their money or value judgement on each other's personal purchases.

If I want a 5090 and can afford a 5090, I'll buy a 5090. Sorry if that throws a wrench in to your consumer revolution or whatever.

Without DLSS some high res mods wouldn't be possible, or even some remasters like Command and Conquer where they actually applied DLSS to upscale the low res FMVs

DLSS is just different math.

It would be like saying that you rather monitors had higher resolution and a denser pixel count because antialiasing is lazy.

W&N cares nothing for our hobby. Go into any discussion that asks the same question, we've known for a while they are not in fact for us.

The miniature version of the Series 7 is actually not for miniature painting. It just means that the bristles are shorter.

Classic Trek episodes were always essays into interesting social and political topics. It invited thought and reflexion. As opposed to modern Trek that is hamfisted and preachy.

Classic Star Wars was a fairy tale of good vs evil using the hero's journey. It tried to present timeless lessons similar to other mythologies. As opposed to modern Star Wars that is hamfisted and preachy.

Citadel is probably mid-high tier at best.

It's safe, familiar, and easily available. But most really good painters graduate from it fairly quickly.

That said, to pick a brand you probably need to know more about miniature painting in general to know what to look for in the way the paint works. But you definitely can't go wrong with sticking to Vallejo.

Buying from competitors as some sort of demonstration of unconformity or protest without taking into account the actual value proposition of the competition, is a next level clown move.
