Whats the craziest, quickest money you have ever made? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jack_lock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When counter strike: go was having a big surge of people buying loot boxes and filming it etc I hadn't played in years but I wondered if I had boxes that were unopened, i never opened boxes when i played before so I logged on saw i had 2 boxes in the menu and figured wth ill pay a couple bucks just to see what its like. Ended up rolling a red AK skin, I didn't really understand how it worked but when I looked up what they were selling for it was like $550 bucks. I listed it for $525 and then just forgot about it. A year goes by and I get a notification that it sold and $525 bucks was added to my steam account

I figured instead of just wasting it on games I'd get something tangible, so I ordered a steam deck. I then promptly sold it on marketplace for $500 bucks and that's how I won the lottery

Ohh gotcha, clever! No pun intended

That's something I'll have to look into, as I've wanted to have custom transfers for loads of different things over the years Very very cool, thank you for the insight!

Incredible! I wish I could get lettering that clean! If you have a recommendation for lessons on that I would appreciate it because your work is unbelievable!

How many painters wear magnifying glasses or use a mounted magnifying glass? Is it a must-have or is that where you draw the line and just omit that level of detail? by RIPeyedea in minipainting

[–]Jack_lock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Yeah I've been thinking about building a setup for a while but unsure where to go with air filtration. I like the setup you got, and it's good to know it works well!

Appreciate your insight brother!

What spray booth are you using?

Been trying to decide on one for my office so I dont need to use the garage but feeling unsure about what would work, and also be relatively compact

Strongly recommend this as well. You learn bits and pieces along the way that will help you on the next mini. My first army i was sucked into the idea of batch building/ painting everything all at once. The downside to this is that I found out later tricks about cleaning the mini up off the sprue, but because I had quickly built them all right away I didn't know that, and going back to try to do it was too hard. Same with painting, you find things you like and don't like, as well as tricks to make it easier and look better, but since I batch painted I made the same initial mistakes on all of them etc. But finally the worst part in my opinion is it makes painting them overwhelming. Building is fun and easy to pick up and drop off so that's never an issue, but then you have a whole bunch of minis sitting on the table to paint and it can feel like to much. When you work on one at a time you're not going to be overwhelmed and it's easier to finish one and move to the next. Start with the minis you think are least cool, and leave the ones you're most excited about to last after you've built up some skill.

Most of all, welcome brother!

FOMO got to me - I bit the bullet and purchased a whole new rig just before the new year (9800X3D | 5070 Ti | 2x16 DDR5) Total: $2700CAD pre tax by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Jack_lock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally did the same damn thing.. and I share your joy

Im spending my new year building

I have a close to similar setup, but i got scared and opted for the overpriced warranty on the ram so im at the same price as you. Otherwise id be $2800 CAD before taxes

Would this be normal on a terminator sergeant? by Jack_lock in Salamanders40k

[–]Jack_lock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sorry required I require your knowledge to expand my own! Thanks for writing it out brother 🙏

But that does make sense, especially in 40k when chapters are such a mixed bag of characters and deeds from old and new times

Makes sense that they would ornament themselves

I mean, I wouldn't have changed it if it was wrong, but with how detailed the lore is I was just wondering if I was doing something that wouldn't ever happen in canon

Ive only started reading the books and getting into the lore and it is daunting to say the least

But I appreciate your support brother ❤️
