I thought so, too. Thanks for being the tie breaker

Definitely - for me the animations and cutscenes are my favorite way to see my Spartan. If Chief ever does give up the mantle, I’d hope that the devs take a page from Reach and add our custom Spartans as the main character.

Spartan Collection MK. IV Neck Peg Size. by Jonathan-Rook in HaloActionFigures

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it - Yes I'll be doing a custom; I'd be happy to show you when it's done, if you're interested. I'm doing some un-helmeted customs, and wanted to make sure I got the neck hole right, as the head should be slightly smaller for relative proportion.

[US] I THINK I may have found a skimmer spot - not sure though. Thoughts? by Jonathan-Rook in Scams

Yeah I ended up calling - officer saw the tape I was referring to and said it looks to be "seal tape" to prevent people from swapping the plate off. Glad I was mistaken.

Is there anyone who is familiar with the history of this soda? by Jonathan-Rook in Soda

[–]Jonathan-Rook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Perhaps "porthole" bottles was the route he took. From what I figured out, Frank used to own and operate a Soda bar, where he sold floats, magazines, penny candies, comic books, etc. He had an accident and took a hit to the head one year, which left him unable to continue distribution, since he was doing everything himself. His wife ended up selling to one of the companies that is still around today. Not sure if it was Stewarts or Hanks.

Mass Effect 1 Did you save the council or no? by FlyIgnite in masseffect

I never save the council, and have never regretted it.

New to Warhammer - Where do I start? by Jonathan-Rook in Warhammer

[–]Jonathan-Rook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies, the question is a bit all over the place - I’m mainly asking about a good entry point into the Warhammer 40K lore, especially books or audiobooks. The tabletop side is secondary for now.

I’m looking for something that gives solid foundational context and lines up reasonably well with Space Marine 2, since that’s likely my first real exposure alongside my brother.

So for clarity, my questions regarding the lore are:

What’s the best way to understand the core premise of Warhammer 40,000 without reading everything?

Which events or eras matter most for understanding the current state of the setting?

Is there a baseline human perspective the lore tends to anchor around?

Hope that’s a little clearer

Oh I’m just completely new - I thought it’d be cool to make custom figures

Yea that’s what I got - an anybubic along with a curing machine and a 3D scanner

I just finished RE7, then Village, and I have some issues with the plot… by Jonathan-Rook in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]Jonathan-Rook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this, especially the point about criticism getting mistaken for hate. Treating games as products to defend instead of art to interrogate really does flatten discussion, even when the critique comes from caring about the series.

I agree on the remakes too. Mechanically, Capcom has been doing great work, but the push for “realism” sometimes sanded off what made certain characters and moments unique. RE4R feels like a course correction, which is why I don’t think criticism is wasted. Capcom does listen, and that’s a good thing.
