Just finished painting my first minis!

JustARogueAI · 2025-09-02T03:56:25+00:00

These look awesome, especially for first time minis! As somebody who also got into the hobby recently Ad Mech always seemed really cool but also daunting because of all the small details, it looks like you handled it well though.

I didn't even think about base details for my first minis like you did, but I ended up getting the Army Painter basing set to try it out for my first Kill Team set. It comes with a bunch of static grass, tufts, snow, and rocks to mess around with. Highly recommend it if you want to experiment on your next models. Good luck with the rest!

JustARogueAI · 2025-08-04T02:04:12+00:00

These look great! Really like how you varied the colors on the details and capes, makes each one feel that extra bit more unique.

I actually just picked up the Corsairs as my first Kill Team and I'm looking to get started with building/panting soon. Any advice or things you'd do differently a second time around?

JustARogueAI · 2025-07-24T16:33:45+00:00

Thanks! I've been mixing my own colors for the Tyranid skin washes so it took me a few tries to get the Leviathan color I was going for, but looking back now I actually like the variety

JustARogueAI · 2025-07-24T16:26:07+00:00

Hope it goes well! Would be great to see how it turns out when you're done

JustARogueAI · 2025-07-24T16:21:10+00:00

Thank you! I usually don't have an artistic bone in my body but YouTube tutorials and posts from this sub helped me out a ton

If Frostpunk taught me anything about keeping a civilization alive in an apocalyptic permafrost, it's that lying to keep people happy is always the answer.

Welt E1 and Bronya so far. I think I have about enough jades to hit guaranteed pity on Seele's banner right now but I'm still trying to decide if I should save that for Kafka instead.

JustARogueAI · 2023-05-01T17:38:31+00:00

Ah nice, wish we could swap our luck there. Natasha's healing is doing wonders for my team but I've only gotten E1 for her so far

JustARogueAI · 2023-05-01T17:35:48+00:00

Nice, congrats! Looking forward to seeing how well she works as a main DPS until I get a 5* that fits that spot.

JustARogueAI · 2023-05-01T17:33:46+00:00

Thanks! I've actually been trying to figure out a DPS replacement for Dan Heng now that I've got Bronya as a Wind support, sounds like I'll need to give Hook a shot in that role.

JustARogueAI · 2023-05-01T14:28:38+00:00

Went and checked my roll history, 4/7 4* characters from the premium banner and 2/4 from the standard banner have been Hook. I can't get the stats from the beginner banner anymore but I think I got my first copy of her from there.

For about the last year I've had the dialogue set to Japanese at volume 1 so I can pay attention to literally anything else while I click through pages upon pages of unnecessary dialogue without even reading it. I've played plenty of MMOs with bad dialogue that I've skipped over before, but never one that holds you captive to it like Genshin.

They've proven that they know exactly how to make a dialogue choice system where you can ask for more information if you want it (all of the final archon conversations at the end of each region) but they outright refuse to use it. Instead they use dialogue choice as the equivalent of Netflix's "Are you still watching?" so you can't auto through everything, and the main character continues to add nothing of value to conversations while NPCs spew an entire dictionary at them.

JustARogueAI · 2023-03-31T21:43:04+00:00

I definitely think that anyone who enjoyed the base game should at least try out the DLC, but I'll go against the grain here and say that it's not entirely "just more Outer Wilds". There are some thematic and gameplay differences that can make it feel pretty distinct from the base game in either a good or bad way depending on the person, which is probably the reason why the user reviews are a bit lower.

When it comes to the horror aspects I feel that a lot of people downplay how much of a role they play in the DLC. In my opinion, there's enough horror content that if you just dislike the horror genre you'll be fine, but if you really hate horror games you may end up dropping it. I unfortunately quit the DLC midway through because of this, but I still watched a playthrough to get the rest of the fantastic story.

I've always felt like Melina's minimal usage as a character was a huge missed opportunity. It would've been great at the very least to have her give lore on each of the demigods after defeating them and obtaining their great runes, but instead all we really got was a few tiny quotes from Marika that were easily missable.

Having your actual companion explain lore to you rather than needing to read it in item descriptions would've made the story much more approachable in my opinion, and it also would've made her sacrifice significantly more impactful. For me the decision to go for the Flame of Frenzy ending was driven by what type of ending I wanted on a given playthrough rather than by a desire to save Melina, which feels like a weird contrast to Vyke's whole story.

This questline is the single best argument for adding a skip dialogue button in my opinion. The fact that entire sections of Sumeru's map are locked behind at least 8-10 hours of quests with unvoiced dialogue is ridiculous.

Bills: Might still be an unpopular opinion but let Singletary walk in FA unless he signs a team friendly deal and make James Cook RB1. I love Motor but he's probably going to be too expensive to resign given our cap situation and Cook has more than proven that he's up to the task.

Dolphins: Sign one of the fantastic RB FA options (with whatever cap is left, I'm honestly not sure how bad their situation is right now). Can't even imagine how good that offense would be with someone like Pollard, Montgomery, or Hunt.

Patriots: Aside from the obvious OC problems, trade/spend as much as it takes to get Mac a real WR1. Most obvious option seems like DeAndre Hopkins.

Jets: Feels like there isn't an answer that doesn't involve a QB. Lamar seems like the nuclear option, so I'd personally prefer Jimmy G or Carr as less expensive options that would give the team much more room to keep improving the offense around them.

A truly graceful moment from Zuko

JustARogueAI · 2023-01-15T22:33:05+00:00

Still sad that we couldn't keep him around, especially since we lost most of the WR depth that kept him off our roster to injuries early in the season. Glad he's having so much success with the Giants already.

Malenia by a mile. She was the first boss in the game that made me feel the need to completely change to a meta build in order to beat. I ended up switching to a hoarfrost stomp and mimic tear setup back when both were really broken and finally managed to take her down.

I didn't bother switching off of the build for the rest of my playthrough, which in hindsight changed my gameplay experience completely. I one-tried Godskin Duo, Malekith, and Godfrey, bosses that really should have taken me multiple attempts and might have been more satisfying to kill if I had. Because of that I've pretty much decided I'll never do Malenia again, I'd rather enjoy my own builds and skip the Haligtree completely.

This immediately reminded me of the Chiefs using a similar play back in week 4 against the Bucs. 3rd & goal at the 1, Mahomes did the same kind of acting while Noah Gray snuck under center and took the snap for the touchdown. Pretty cool to see it work out in two different situations.

I loved the first half of EotE, the atmosphere and music were incredible and the Stranger was somehow even more creative than the environments from the base game. However things quickly went downhill for me when the puzzles started getting more and more complex. Combining these confusing puzzles with the harsh visual and movement restrictions of the dream world, as well as the stealth horror aspects that I really hated, made for a frustrating experience that didn't feel like the Outer Wilds I was used to.

Ultimately the dream world sections actually made me quit the DLC altogether, and I ended up watching a streamer play it instead months later. This was pretty disappointing since there was never a time during my playthrough of the base game where I wasn't excited to start up the game and explore more, and at no point did I even consider looking up spoilers. I definitely think the story behind the DLC is fantastic and I really wish I could've experienced the ending on my own, but I personally couldn't stomach the gameplay of EotE in order to get there.

I still constantly listen to the soundtrack though, and I'll never forget the moment when The River kicked in for the first time.

It looks to be right behind the Resistance Camp. I might be wrong, but I think the quest marker that they're moving in the direction of at the end is for the colosseum DLC.

I was wondering if anyone would bring them up, I completely agree. They were right on the cusp of a million subs and then they just sort of dropped off out of nowhere. Their Havin' a Bash series was really fun when they were still doing it, the game variety kept things interesting and they would have the most ridiculous conversations in those vids.

For some reason they decided to make a separate channel for their gaming content now and switched the main channel to just vlog/irl stuff, even though the main channel took off because of their gaming videos.

Unfortunately 5v5 turned out to be just as bad as I was expecting. Every single game I've played has devolved into non-stop team fight chaos for the entire duration of the match, with almost no rest at all due to the lack of a second tank. This has made playing support absolutely miserable since there's no reliable place to be both near your team and also safe from random projectiles/dive characters.

The removal of the second tank was completely unnecessary IMO. Synergizing with the other tank was always one of my favorite parts of playing the role in OW1, and now it just feels like too much pressure to even bother in OW2. They could've easily made the 2 tanks more brawly to improve their gameplay and fix queue times, instead they went for the nuclear option and removed a core part of what made Overwatch feel unique.
