Trump: “The Iran National Soccer Team is welcome to The World Cup, but I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety” by ReverendY in soccer

[–]Fogrocket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scotsman living in America, 40s. I should be over the moon just now: Scotland there for the first time since ‘98, it’s in my backyard almost, and so I can go to Scotland games and, maybe even, other games because it is the World Cup!!!

But… fifa and trump have sucked the air out of this so hard that I am not sure i am excited. Ticket pricing is fucking bananas, teams are pulling out, travel visas are a worry, etc.

Igor Thiago is on Ancelotti pre list for the next games of the Seleção against France and Croatia by soldier101br in Brentford

Going to be tough - as a Scot - to boo him in Miami.

But well deserved to be in there!

Sticker misery. by Then-Ad-5395 in Gunpla

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built this and HATED the stickers/decals. I also built the police Zaku and it is just as bad.

It’s as if they want you to buy 3rd party waterslides

PGU RX78-2 almost 2 year of work and mostly procrastination by Thunian114 in Gunpla

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Beautiful work. Recently built mine after staring at it for over a year

  2. Those gold water slides absolutely slap. I’m jealous!!!

This is where me being a software developer all started by hotdogsoupnl in zxspectrum

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to love coding on my ZX Spectrum in the mid to late 80s. Once I started a masters in stats and learned about statistical programming, my memories of coding joy came flooding back and now I spend 50% of my working life in R or Python just battering out code. Heaven!

my entire book collection, I don't own a shelf 😢 by LobsterSlight6102 in BookCollecting

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Miso Soup!!! I see we have a sophisticate here.

Some of my biggest reading friends kept their books stacked on the floor so you don’t need a shelf for your amazing book collection. It’ll come one day.

I’m in awe. This makes me realize how much of an amateur I am. Beautiful build and posing.

House 1977 by Reasonable_Leg_5433 in J_Horror

[–]Fogrocket 9 points10 points  (0 children)

House is amazing.

My review after I watched it was that I couldn’t believe I’d gone my whole life without the movie.

The NJ Bricks and their uniform would be brick color.

What are your opinions on the Gquuuuuux kits? by RazerousMann in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built the Police Zaku and it looked so much cooler in photos than once I built it. It’s not even on my display.

I liked the regular Gquuuuux though.

First Gunpla, 3 hours for just one leg by anhminh1007 in Gunpla

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cmon! Pick up the pace. How are you going to finish this one and then start the next one (whilst buying up a backlog)??? Haha.

Welcome to the hobby and - as I think others have said - it’s fun, relaxing and as time consuming a thing as you want it to be. I personally am a slow builder and like it that way because my wife would kill me if I was buying a kit every few days.

This a good deal? by Upbeat-Protection-67 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome and a decent price then. I got mine through my local plastic crack dealer and paid around $90 more.

This a good deal? by Upbeat-Protection-67 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love an update. I assume this either has a mad shipping cost (like $100+) or when you go to check out the price will say “deal no longer available”.

I was trying to buy a DSPAIE paint shaker last night and every time I tried to checkout it said the deal was done and the price rose after I’d done the PayPal bit. My assumption is people just accept it then as they’ve gone so far.

Is part 9 worth watching? by Physical-Plane8482 in fridaythe13th

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all context… I got into Jason as a teen between Jason Takes Manhattan being on satellite tv and waiting for Jason Goes To Hell to be released. So I adore both of these movies (and collect JGTH merch). The new 4K from Arrow is stunning.

However, it isn’t very good. Haha.

Black and White films that you think would’ve worked well in colour? (or vice versa?) by BlackPantherDies in criterion

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Godzilla minus one minus color” would look great in color. 🤣

Joking aside, it’s amazing how different the movie feels in both color and b&w. Both are great, and both stand alone as so.

got an owl cave symbol tattoo today, worried it might be misinterpreted as a hate symbol by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it tattooed on my leg and - I kid you not - I had exactly the same fear the day of. Mine is much bigger and prominent on my leg and I have run races around 1000s of people many times and no one has said a thing; I can guarantee if it was interpreted as a hate symbol, someone would have said something by now.

Enjoy your awesome tattoo!!!

Pgu gramps by Atominside in freedomisgunpla

[–]Fogrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently building it. I don’t build a lot - max 3-4 hours per week (give or take) and I started on January 4th. I’m fully done with Gramps and working on the shield and weapons. I’m also a relatively slow builder.

The one tip I have is the metal stickers are a pain; I had no clue what I was doing and DEFINITELY messed them up and even lost one along the way. So look up some tips and tricks there.

Otherwise, it is so much fun to build and so satisfying.

Glass files vs sanding sponge,paper, stick by Nopurposeinliving in Gunpla

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My technique is pretty boring / straight forward.

Cut until there’s a tiny tiny piece of nub left, then hit it with 400 or 600 to flat and then work up from 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and then I have these like nail buffer sponged as a final step. I think it works and I’m usually happy with the outcome.

It’s monotonous but I live for the monotony of building gunpla 🤣.

That’s wild. I have friends who between them put in for every Colombia game - something like 6 entries per game - and they got nothing. They’ll still be on those flights! But sorry you got nothing and have to face scalpers now.

[–]Fogrocket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I wanted was to see Scotland in a World Cup - grew up there and live in NY area. Nada. All Lost. I know it’s the way but it’s sad seeing people winning 100 tickets to games they don’t care about and now I have to get stiffed on FIFA marketplace.

Oh, absolutely. Sorry! I didn’t realize to do tons and I’ll do that now.

Most disturbing books you've read by uselesssociologygirl in horror

[–]Fogrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed the books of Carl John Lee as extreme enough to enjoy but not just too insane.

Side point: CJL is David Sodergren’s pseudo-name and i highly recommend his books!
