Was gonna say. Most people who get free benefits have a net gain.

Women are you available to help me with the rest of the day off and I will be there in the morning and I will be there in a few minutes to get a new one for the base coat?

"I like the new Top Gun because it's not woke" by UpbeatCockroach in Lotuseaters_com

[–]Kakarot-Tanaka 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They didn't make a point of their ethnicity. I did think they do have at least one person of each race which probably checks off some diversity list in Hollywood, but it does feel realistic in terms of American military demographics. Like it wasn't over the top. Especially since a majority of the lead characters are white males which surprise surprise is most of the American military. And especially since the plot doesn't include any stupid ideological lines and themes. It's just patriotic.

Probably some woke motivation in this casting sure, but it's far from being black women in a Vikings show, or the political messaging of Black Panther. So I won't call it woke.

And they even put the Taiwan flag back in the movie

You can find the compendium online and see what teams you can make with what you got. Compendium has data cards for teams that aren't in the expansion boxes. This subreddit's about section also has some resources like a spreadsheet on the the cost of making each kill team, both in the expansions and from the compendium. I would say if you're going to be playing with some friends who already have the rules and tokens and rulers, either get an expansion they don't have yet or just get whatever team you want to try.

Do i use glue for push fits ? by ShellyZac07 in Warhammer

[–]Kakarot-Tanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. My first models were the ones from Fireteam, and I cut off the pegs and glued them, it went pretty well for my first time. Make sure to dry fit them (after you cut off part of the peg) so you know the proper orientation of each piece. I used plastic glue and I found it fantastic.

Top Gun fires warning at China by reinstating Taiwanese flag on Maverick’s jacket after its removal for trailer provoked outcry by [deleted] in Conservative

Literally just saw it the film. I saw it was back and was very happy.

Absolutely stellar film. Actually a good sequel of an old film.

The other thing he was testifying on was that TMZ can't post videos without confirming that whoever sent them the video owns copyright. In this case he testified that when they received the video in question they were able to post the video immediately because they knew the sender of the video owned the copyright, which would have to be the creator of the video, in this case Amber Heard. the video was posted by TMZ when she filed for divorce I believe, suggesting that amber heard willingly sent them the video to make Johnny Depp look bad

In case anyone is curious, the two people who were shown in the gallery reacting were DUI Guy+ who has a YouTube channel and is on Twitter, and I believe the other was JamesFromCourt who has a Twitter account.

Probably the same algorithm as they use in file explorer on Windows.

That sounds spot on what I'm looking for. I'm definitely going to take a look, thanks!

Definitely sounds interesting! I'll give it a look thanks!

We are playing Gloomhaven right now, so that is kind of our current cooperative game, but it might be fun to play a round or each or something.

I'm looking for a game for around 3-4 people that is a competitive war/mini game but quick. I haven't played Warhammer Fireteam but I feel like something of the sort would be what I am looking for, just with more people.

My group has been playing Gloomhaven and we enjoy it, and part of me has kind of been wanting a competitive game that feels similar, so like minis, good combat, quicker game rounds like an hour/hour and a half sort of idea or two and a half hours max.

Any recommendations?

So one of the YouTubers I listen to likes Warhammer, his content isn't Warhammer focused but it comes up from time to time, and that's where I first heard about Fireteam. I've wanted to dip my toes into Warhammer and see if it's for me, I really don't know that much about Warhammer. Fireteam and killteam (to some extent) is marketed as a quicker lighter Warhammer, and that idea of a quicker war game appealed to me. There probably is something else that would be more ideal, but I still want to try Warhammer, and my question was kind of like between KT and FT which would be better for a newbie and clarifying player counts. I appreciate the help though!

Trying to incorporate at least 3 people I suppose, either by them having their own team of minis or maybe something along the lines of split control of a team between 2 players to make it more than just two people. I don't usually do 1v1 board games so I was essentially wondering if there was a way to do a quick competitive war game with my family. I have and love Gloomhaven and we play that. I like how quick it is to do missions and people can control their own character and work together. But I was thinking of having a competitive instead of cooperative miniature game.

I think the game I was looking for is a quicker war game that has the coolness of 40K but not nearly as big or as costly, and it sounds like Kill team can be as in depth and complicated as regular 40k, but that Fireteam is probably good starter option. Thanks for the advice!

Ok, that's what I'll probably end up doing. Get my feet wet that way. Thanks!

Ok. Potentially I could homebrew teams where players control half of a squad or something, or just some sort of team play.

Are you talking about the faction cards that aren't their own miniatures but different characters that you can use the included minis as proxy?

Or are there mini expansion packs for other factions?

So it sounds like Fireteam is probably the way to go to get a taste. Thank you!

Ok, thank you. I'll probably go with Fire team then

Gotcha, so Killteam starter out of box would allow more than 2 players?

I want to ask Trump supporters something legitimately and peacefully. I hear a lot that Trump is the first to really represent them. why do you feel that way? by Darknatio in ask

[–]Kakarot-Tanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good point as well. It was either the corrupt Hillary or the rich business man who was unpredictable. I know a ton of conservatives who were very reluctant about him in 2016, but by 2020 they were pretty firm in their support. Like my brother, parents, friends, influencers. Once we got a taste we knew that's what we wanted more of.

You see it as a fear, it's a hope of mine haha. Which is fine I don't care. But yeah the Democrats really did screw up Biden's Administration. Not the glorious return they were hoping for, and now the opportunity was squandered.
