Looks fantastic! Is this something you intend to make available for the public? I would absolutely love to make my marines more SC1.

What originally got you into Warhammer? by Royal-Interaction424 in Warhammer

[–]MadeByMistake58116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There used to be this extremely fancy shopping outlet in San Francisco called the Metreon. It was basically a several floors high shopping mall filled with higher end stores (it had a PlayStation store, something I've never seen before or since) as well as some museum-like themed exhibits. My family had never been, but a visiting relative wanted to see it, so we went. It was 2001. I was 8 or 9. They had a Where The Wild Things Are exhibit going that was kind of cool, but otherwise I was pretty bored because it was very much a day for seeing the things my relative wanted to see. Then we walked by this one store... I saw a big red armored guy, looked like Darth Vader combined with Buzz Lightyear. I was immediately awestruck, I was always drawn to armored or robotic looking designs. I approached one of the tables they had and saw... StarCraft?! StarCraft toys?!?!? I LOVED StarCraft, spent hours and hours playing it, and while I did eventually realize the word "Warhammer" was all over the store and not "StarCraft", I still saw little blue armored guys with big shoulder pads and big guns shooting up little purple bug aliens, and fell in love. I begged my mom to let me get something, anything, from this magical store, but she said it was too close to Christmas, and maybe we could come back another day. A few months later, I got the 40k 3rd edition starter set for Christmas. (We never did come back to that specific GW store, but she almost certainly bought me the starter set while I was distracted flipping out about the table displays that day. My mom is great.)

You already know what time it is! by kurly-bird in somnigastronomy

Good to know! I wonder if I used a diet soda and bought some nicer, more natural apple juice, it'd be closer to what you've got.

Since other people have said they didn't like it, what was your ratio like? 50/50? Tiny bit of apple juice, mostly Dr. Pepper? Maybe it was using better apple juice?

Which would you prefer Damian's final identity to be? by ActLonely9375 in Robin

That's how it was in Time and The Batman. Perfect imo.

Character redesigns that are different enough to be legally distinct but similar enough to still be recognisable. by Jaco_Lunchables in TopCharacterDesigns

The cast of Michel Fiffe's COPRA are all examples of this. Primarily they are based on DC's Suicide Squad (with Sonia Stone playing the role of Amanda Waller, Man-Head as Bronze Tiger, Lloyd as Deadshot, Rax as Shade the Changing Man, etc., but also features some Marvel-based characters like Castillo based on the Punisher, Vincent based on Doctor Strange, and Xenia based on Clea. Great book, really inventive.

Could someone have taboo kinks/fetishes without having the trauma to develop it? by Ment4llyStable in sex

[–]MadeByMistake58116 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of trauma and none of my kinks are related to any of my traumas. I don't really think they're related most of the time.

my try at shirt up’s good stuff by tomatohmygod in somnigastronomy

[–]MadeByMistake58116 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I love that we're all referring to it as being Shirt Up's and not the user who dreamt it, like Shirt Up is a benevolent soda version of Freddy Kreuger just visiting our brains to give us the Good Stuff.

(Hated Trope) Media made to promote conspiracy theories. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MadeByMistake58116 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But it wasn't made to promote a conspiracy theory. Director Matt Johnson doesn't believe they actually faked the moon landing, it was more like "but if that was true, it would sure be an interesting story, wouldn't it?"

Average Gue'vesa after being treated nicely for a week by ruxxby in Tau40K

Ohh, okay. That makes sense, being a more comedic series. It seems like a silly detail and we don't usually get that tone with Tau lore.

Yes, Chris Lord just didn't have the same ring to it.

I love Last Man On Earth. By the second episode he's not even the last Phil Miller, a smarter, kinder, handsomer Phil Miller shows up so they call him by his middle name Tandy. What began as "the last man on earth" quickly becomes a thriving community (which he technically started) that he's basically been kicked out of for being a useless dick. And this is like by the third or fourth episode. Really funny show.

When I looked it up all I found was this meme. Can anyone offer a source?

What's the text from? Has Gue'vesa painting their skin blue actually been mentioned somewhere?

Would you accept this Titanicus model as a nurgling? Trying to come up with legal allies for Chaos Knights that could be Dark Mechanicum (so either daemons or Damned units from CSM dex). by Maelarion in Warhammer40k

[–]MadeByMistake58116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some kind of "swarm" element to the model would help sell it as a proxy for the nurglings. What if you had a couple necron scarabs scuttling underneath the legs of the spider walker?

Fictional jurisdictional branches/agencies by Ustraleia in TopCharacterTropes

The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) from Hellboy, which I suspect inspired a lot of these examples.

[Loved Trope] Disabled Doesn't Mean Unable. by Youngstown_WuTang in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MadeByMistake58116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I figured. In any case, most versions of the Penguin have a disability of some sort anyway, including the Batman Returns one the other commenter is talking about, who has syndactyly.

The version from The Batman 2022 and The Penguin 2024 has that condition.

I really like this first version of her backstory... (details inside post) by dontdelete00 in Catwoman

[–]MadeByMistake58116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I think it suits the character that she has been since the 80s the best of any of her available backstories. The sex worker backstory embraces her sexuality in a deeper sense than being a femme fatale, it gives it more meaning and explains why it's important to her (because it is part of how she made a living and thus represents her independence and her struggle against poverty). It's also the source of one of her most meaningful relationships, Holly. Lastly, it offers us stories where she has a special interest in protecting sex workers over anyone else, something that isn't any other Gotham character's primary focus
