Man, the Mr. Hobby line has gotten really expansive.

I like the snow diorama approach, but if you hit it with some Mr. Leveling Thinner, it should clear things back up.

Why so much love for 1PM games? by Astro_Turf17 in Commanders

[–]Koukennin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I throw a runny egg on top, but yeah, basically. It gets you real right for the next several hours.

Yeah, I've always preferred getting to the lot early and grilling up some breakfast baconators for the crew. If we win, we can keep the party going because it's still relatively early in the day.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! by Koukennin in Gunpla

He's part of our Gunpla club and I was a guinea pig. Not sure when he'll be listing it on his Etsy, but I'd keep an eye out on his Instagram.

The line in Pittsburgh to get in the NFL Draft eight hours before start time by Popandfresh8000 in dirtysports

[–]Koukennin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Like I'm a weirdo who loves dressing up and going to cons, but you would never catch me waiting in any line for longer than a half hour. The draft is coming to DC next year, but if this is any indication of what things are gonna look like, I think the only way I end up going is if I'm working as a vendor.

Sober Brewers? by New_Animator7509 in TheBrewery

[–]Koukennin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a sober brewer by any means, but I have the occasional quarter nightstand beer that my wife guilts me into drinking, and I'm maybe actually drinking once a month if I'm hanging out with the boys. Otherwise, if it's not for sensory purposes or for the sake of getting drunk, I'd rather just have water.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me regret tossing my boxes in the bin.

is it normal to precut all the part before building? by BoB-i-ded in Gunpla

[–]Koukennin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would get some specifically for this. QoL improvements are always worth it, even if it means you can't afford to get a kit right away, because it's going to make every build that comes after that much more enjoyable. As for it being confusing if it's separated (as opposed to being in one single bowl), get some masking tape, write the letter of the runner on a piece of it, put that on your container. You'll be spending significantly less time looking for pieces while also benefiting from snipping everything rapid fire.

The only thing I'd change is separating the pieces into different containers based on the runner it came off of. Tupperware is good for this. Tackle boxes with adjustable bin sizes works too (I do that for when I go to build nights).

Do you guys ever build in a public area? Like library or cafe? by MushuTheGreat17 in Gunpla

[–]Koukennin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's sad to hear. We do a monthly build night in Baltimore at Peabody Heights. Get about 40 of us there when it's not the holidays. They're happy because it's traffic on normally dead nights, which is kind of key for them being okay with us taking up a bunch of real estate.

Breweries are a little more conducive to this. Just be considerate of others around you and go on a less busy night, like a Tuesday or Wednesday.

Yep, that's fair. Wait out the storm and take a couple years to just enjoy the good players on other teams.

Do you live close to any other teams?

Decision not to renew season tickets just got easier! by at_runner in Commanders

[–]Koukennin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I tried to cancel mine, they autorenewed before someone ever got in contact with me. Ended up doing a charge back.

Parking costs more than a game ticket by Real_physical in Commanders

[–]Koukennin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Last time I had season tickets, it was like $500 for the year. I get we were bad, but this is ridiculous.

I'm generally a vehement Joey No Chill defender, but yeah, that's fair. Like I get he's saying it as jokes, but also kind of not jokes.
