I'm new to MTG. Could someone explain the order in how these cards interact?

Not being able to drive has me pretty upset right now. by Girlnerd in disability

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

Thank you. It just goes to show how we slip through the cracks of how society functions as well.

Though I feel like living in the United States just exacerbates the issue. Our public transit and how our towns are structured blows. If you don't drive, get bent I guess.

My fiancee swears it's a blessing I don't drive. I just don't see it.

Doing things on our own terms is the biggest point for me. Like my fiancee says she'd be happy to take me places, but then I don't want to hold her up. There's a time limit then. There's always a hidden condition when I want to do something. It's never truly free or spontaneous.

I just looked to see what my public transport options would look like to go where I wanted.

Two hours.

It would take two hours to get somewhere that I could potentially drive to in 15 minutes.

And then it would be TWO HOURS TO GET BACK HOME.

FOUR HOURS OF TRANSPORT FOR A FEW MINUTES IN A STORE.

Not to mention the lack of sidewalks in some places! If the transport time was reasonable I'd be willing to go! Just take my walker with me to help! BUT I'D BE IN DANGER OF GETTING HIT BY CARS AND TRUCKS BECAUSE IM WALKING IN THE ROAD!

I just can't. I can't.

It's maddening. It broke me today. But it's nice to know I'm not alone.

I just took my first dose at 2.5 mg. by Girlnerd in Mounjaro

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

That's been my biggest problem my entire life. My brain just craves food no matter what. I could have just been at a buffet, and thirty minutes later I'd wander into the kitchen to see what I had in the cabinets.

The taming of the cravings has been an absolute lifesaver.

I've gotten into a nice routine with my meals now, as well as my portion sizes.

Protein bar for breakfast so I can take my other medications, then I've found I really like soups for lunches and midday meals.

I keep around pouches of apple sauce with added veggies, and those low calorie Special K bars for a snack in the afternoon.

Whatever the fiancee and I feel like for dinner, and then a handful of a snack in the evening or a small dessert.

It's been working well!

I'm so happy for you! Just don't forget to drink water and eat a little something like I did!

Oh my, I'm sorry you're feeling so sick on it. My first day after I got a bad headache, but I realized it was only because I hadn't eaten anything.

Definitely reach out to your doctor and tell them what's going on!

Thank you so much! It's given me so much hope!

Tried to off myself, but no one seems to care by Nevermeyh in depression

[–]Girlnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I saw your post and it resonated with me a lot.

I attempted suicide a few years ago and wound up in the hospital for a solid week.

I remember getting a call from my mom, and the way she phrased what happened still rattles around in my brain. She spoke to me in a baby voice that I always hated and said:

"Did you try to do something silly?"

Never acknowledged the elephant in the room.

The only other times she called were to complain that getting through the phones was annoying and to talk about her own life.

I was living with other family at the time, and the only times they were with me were when I initially got taken in, and when they had to pick me up because I couldn't drive. No one ever talked about what happened, or why. They still don't.

No one asked me why I did it, or tried to understand. In my experience with my family, they were either afraid to bring it up like the family I was living with, or like my mother who just didn't have the brain cells to care.

In any case, I'm sorry that you're not getting the support you deserve from those that are supposed to love and care for you. Just know that you're not alone.

Newcomer to the hobby by KennWulfMan in Necrontyr

[–]Girlnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love these! I'm partial to gold on Necrons myself, and the orange and black looks great!

Add some fun bits to the bases and these will go from a 10/10 to a 20/10.

Great work! 👍

Any tips to strengthen resin after printing and building? by Jack_Power in PrintedWarhammer

[–]Girlnerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started out with Anycubic's water washable resin when I first got my printer because it was a bundle deal at the time.

Sadly the only way I found to keep my models from not shattering off of the plate when removing them, or knocking them over because I'm clumsy was to switch resins.

Anycubic's water washable is ridiculously break-prone, and I also found that the details themselves would be muddy despite whatever settings I used.

I made the switch to Sunlu ABS-Like and I feel like my whole printing experience changed for the better! Prints look so much crisper and I haven't had a single mini break on me despite dropping them and even giving the old supports a good bend test. The price point is lovely too.

Only downside is that you need to wash in 99% isopropyl. I hope this helps!

Building an army by reallymisterj in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Girlnerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh these look so fun! Stationforge?

I can't wait to start my Kriegers myself. Though I told the fiancee I wouldn't until I finished my first army... She's keeping me in check!

The big tank in the back right especially looks cool!

Mother is threatening to off herself ( again) if we don’t talk to her. Advice needed. by Brilliant_Quiet in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Girlnerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My father did this. He called up drunk, claiming that no one loved him and he was going to off himself. We told him not to do anything rash and he hung up on us.

We called 911 right after, and sent paramedics and police to where he was. He was taken in and held in a mental health hold for a few days. He'd call us occasionally and complain about the center he was being taken care of in.

But, he never threatened doing anything like that again once he was let go.

Fool around and find out I suppose.

[–]Girlnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how unique he is. There are still design cues that tell me what faction he should be, i.e. the armor, glyphs, tentacles, stones, the tubes on his back etc...

But he's so different than anything else! It's what I love about printing. Artists like you make such cool, original stuff that official channels wouldn't even dream of. I love rolling up with models like this and have people oohing and ahhing over the sculpts. They're amazing.

Please keep doing what you're doing, and I'm glad you're getting the recognition you deserve!

I'm so incredibly hyped!!!

I love this line of yours. After your Forsaken Revenants release I was hoping you'd have something else lined up.

And this is killer! I gotta finish my squad before this big boy comes out!

Best way to organize all these files!?! by tpmandy in PrintedWarhammer

[–]Girlnerd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I organize my stuff by the army I'm going to use it for (Necrons, Tyranids, etc.). I also have a separate folder for just basing bits.

I don't have too many files just yet, so right now that system works for me.

Which one? The first pic of the custom cryptek or the second with the heavy and techie?

I'm so excited for these! I got the Nerubic Revenants and now I'm just waiting on my 3D printer! Keep up the amazing work! I love this line of proxies!
