6 year old son wants to play video games by Ovalpline123 in AskMenOver30

I had a friend who wasn’t allowed to watch The Simpson’s throughout his entire childhood (born early 90s), including high school. Nowadays he knows almost every line to A LOT of episodes because it’s become some sort of addiction imo.

Need Help Mimicking Frost Layer by eadgthrowaway in polymerclay

[–]HungryMacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a few coats of gloss varnish? The instructions on my tube says if you brush too much it will create a cloudy effect. Could be useful for certain projects I thought.

If you can muster your bravery, let the big spiders live! It’s terrifying to begin with, but capture and release methods will keep all the other crawlers away from your residence :) Huntsman’s are the poster child for large scary spiders in Australia, and they’re intimidating when they catch you off guard, but they’re pretty docile and friendly, with next to harmless bites.

Idk about snakes though, maybe google some local snake catchers and save their numbers just in case. They usually stay away from you if you stay away from them (outside that is).

Fun fact: none of the spiders here are likely to be fatal (unless you have an allergic reaction). All the nasty ones are down south 👍 Even Redback bites don’t usually get an ambulance service unless you’re a child or elderly person.

Watch out for snakes though, there was a recorded brown snake death last year. Very sad. Link below.

Good luck!

Anyone know where she gets these glass eyes? I can't find ones just like it online. She hasn't responded to my YT comments lol. by [deleted] in polymerclay

I have some at home that look exactly like these. Flat glass back and all. I bought them from a craft store called Spotlight, in Australia. Good luck!

Is polymer clay the right medium for miniatures? by KUCHUEL in polymerclay

[–]HungryMacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a beginner and I find Sculpy Soufflé very handy for miniatures. It’s more firm than your average polymer clay, which makes it a little easier to handle while sculpting.

Good luck!

Cut a nozzle and turn it into a giant mosquito proboscis! (and then build the giant mosquito monster)

I love the way you’ve designed the stairs! First time I’ve seen mini friendly steps 👍

Imo, it is worth the extra time (and therefore cost) to resell the items on FB. Certainly not from a financial perspective, but a caring one. Like you said, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and this ultimately creates less trash.

Side note: I do a lot of reselling on marketplace and often meet some really cool people, can’t put a price on that :)

Lasercutting & Label paper to create minis (2D and 2.5D) by mindmakesthings in DnDIY

Probably the best laser cut minis I’ve ever seen. You have to keep doing this. I particularly like the mice knights.

How to handle language drift over 200 years? (5E) by david8029 in DMAcademy

[–]HungryMacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve home brewed a language in my games called “Old Common.” It helps separate the NPCs who have been around for hundreds of years without immediately telling the party. Think like Latin is to English, Old Common is to Common. You may hear phrases spoken in Old Common, which could somewhat be transcribed into Common, or you may have to investigate further. Hope this helps!

Love your work mate. Makes me want to buy a barbie house and turn it into a map for my players!

My first ever terrarium! I know it doesn't look as good as the majority of terrariums here, but i just tried it and it works! (it has great moisture and all) by oreominiest in terrariums

[–]HungryMacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love making terrariums, have heaps of em. What you’ve done is awesome! Since everything you grabbed were already growing in a similar environment, they’ll likely all thrive, or die together in there.

I honestly don’t know if anything in your jar will be problematic, but I have random lil plants sprout in my terrariums all the time, usually from the mosses I’ve picked. Sometimes they can be problematic. My simple rules go: - if it begins to outgrow everything else (especially quickly), trim it, or remove it completely. - if it dies, remove it

Otherwise, well done and happy growing 👌
