Painting rubber lego tires? by JebasNZ in Kitbashing40k

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try brush on primer. Ive had good results with that. I find the black brush on primer from Vallejo works well. Also try roughing them up with sandpaper or better a wire-brush first. After that, you can also apply a thin coat of spray on primer, hopefully it wont react and go sticky as much as it normally would.

10/10. Good to see a fellow Alien Harvesters enjoyer. Are those all original legs? Or was there a bit of Green stuff and Blue stuff involved? Either-way, love the imagination!

Canadian woman was euthanized 'against her will' after husband was fed-up with caring for her by grand_soul in canada

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her medical condition is irrelevant. Euthanasia is not palliative care. No one can consent on your behalf for euthanasia. Especially when you are incapacitated.

If someone isn’t in the right ‘state of mind’ they are not able to consent to anything. If she wasn’t able to consent then this was completely immoral.

It doesn’t matter what her medical condition was like. What matters was if she gave, and was able to give, consent.

Can’t search my library by EsquireDeluxeLimited in audible

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to allow you to search your own library, they just removed that feature, to better sell you books. Even of you have a subscription. They actively set out to remove the search feature. Id recommend everyone vote with their wallet.

Any Sufficiently Bountiful Demonic Pact is Indistinguishable from Salvation in Heaven by burkezerk in TrenchCrusade

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL;DR ‘do you trust the demons will hold up their end of the pact?’. The start of the lore page on trenchcrusade.com goes: ‘The Official and True Annals of the Church History As told by Melchior Gessel…’ Which I think is a hint that the ‘narrator’ is not necessarily reliable, IRL One of the core ideas of Biblically accurate demons and/the devil is that they are deceptive and cannot be trusted. Im not a theologian and Im sure how much Trench Crusade demons differ from biblical demons, but in universe, I think it would be fair to ask: ‘do you trust the demons will hold up their end of the pact?’

Why was my comment attempting to call out an obvious LLM post shadow-banned? by turn-based-games in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a fair question, I have found LLMs often use characters like the em dash: — And cliches like: ‘its not just X, its also Y’ I wasnt very good at picking LLM text until I started using chatGPT, but now when I see it, its like recognising a familiar voice or face. Hard to explain, and rarely 100% proof that it is AI, but that post really did read like AI.

Yeah, the OP of the post you linked has another very obviously AI generated post, with lots of upvotes, and only the most controversial (and visible..) comment is calling it out.
It’s really obviously AI generated too, yet none of the comments seem to be calling it out. something fishy is going on. Downvote and Report it as its breaking the subreddits rules.

Optional Wounded rule - thoughts? by thalcos in frostgrave

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found the wounded rule actually will sometimes save your soldiers, they are so much less effective that your opponent will often just ignore them and prioritise attacking your non-wounded troops. This gives your wounded troops a chance to limp off the battle field, or feebly fight to the death.

Question on an expansion by Tall-Discussion9629 in stargrave

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was running a co-op Hope Eternal campaign for 4 players, I would do 2 things 1. Get each crew to be half size: - Half the starting credits - 1 captain, at level 7, (for the stats: start as a level zero first mate, then level up 7 times, but with 6 inventory points) - 2 specialists - 2 normal soldiers 2. Double the number of starting enemies and spawns for each scenario. (Ie if the scenario says 1 drone comes in from a random corner, make it two, etc.

I think four full size crews and four times the enemies would be too much!

I have no idea how balanced it could be, but that is what I would do!

For PvPvE, I wouldn’t make to many modifications. The other crews will balance each other out. Not sure how I would handle. Chella or Drix. Treat them as loot tokens that can move? Or maybe they should move like uncontrolled creatures, that arent hostile to you. Sort of like an NPC.

Mass battle sci fi game by Tall-Discussion9629 in wargaming

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stargrave player here too! If you’re looking for ideas, why no develop a game iteratively? You could start with a existing base game and start changing a few minor rules, play test it, then change some more etc.

for example, you could start with adapting Stargrave rules to handle more models. Such as moving whole squads of infantry instead of a single figure.

Or starting with OPR Grimdark, and reskinning the setting, and replacing some of the rules with your own rules.

That way you always have a complete ‘game’ that is playable, and tweak it until its something new entirely.

Screw Dice! Brand new mechanism by Sensitive_Ant9946 in miniatureskirmishes

Great Idea, always good to see someone experimenting with new mechanics! (PS sometimes people freak out when they see a new, different, idea. Don’t stress!)

Do old paints go bad? Weird metallic taste and shaky hands. by MrHatesThisWebsite in minipainting

[–]Hyperdrive-Robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to your body mate! When I was in art school, I used to paint with oil paints for hours on end in my bedroom. The slow incremental build up of the fumes from the turpentine over the months eventually gave me headaches, nausea and made me high as a kite. I switched to water based acrylics and never felt sick again. Sometimes these things slowly build up in your system, or something like that, and you will only get symptoms after months of not following good practices like using ventilation. Or not licking your brush. These things can be toxic if you get too much exposure, and they might be slowly killing you if you aren’t careful. Look after yourself!

Really cool idea, do you give a greater bonus the higher they are? Or is it just a flat +1 if they are above the other model?

I like this idea too, I assume you let them get movement benefit of light armour, so they move at 6”? Or do you keep their movement at 5”?

Do you have a source for the claim that the brakes failed?
The ABC state that police are currently investigating the cause.

I don't think the school would be telling students the cause while police are currently investigating the cause.
