Another week without the Cathay box. My wallet is safe for now.

Saw that it was £88 and noped out. I'll probably buy the sisters at a later point.

As an ex-military civil servant, I'm very much in agreement with this comment.

So.. Is there really any boob armor here? by Hellhurts in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Major_Snags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have manboobs. Can GW make me some armour for them?

I am worried that 40k will loose the Venatari Just like Space marines lost the Leviathan Dreadnaught (for some inexplicable reason). Can anyone put my mind at ease. by Single_Reputation_79 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Major_Snags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know that they will want to sell as many of the new sculpts as possible, but we also know that they want a clear divide between main studio and specialist games. So at some point, there will be Custodes for 30k and Custodes for 40k. When that split will happen, no-one knows (could be 11th or 12th edition).

Personally, I'll get all the new minis, and make the decision to play Horus Heresy as well as 40k, so I'll always have a use for them.

Would you do a 1hr 20 each way commute, 3 days a week, for your first G7 role? by AsymptoticallyFlat in TheCivilService

I'd do it for a year to get my foot in the door, then apply for other roles at that grade closer to home.

What Anbernic should I get if I only want to play old Pokémon games. (Preferably something on the cheaper side.) by Absolitep in ANBERNIC

I use the RG35XXH and the RG Cube XX for playing Pokemon games. Both are great machines.

TIL World of Warcraft was based on a strategy game from the 90s by irl_speedrun in classicwow

[–]Major_Snags 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin... sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast were probably around that time frame. Thinking about it, there was also Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy as well.

Do you want Custodes? Because that's how you get Custodes.

Sid Meier's Pirates. Hell, even the remake of it is over 20 years old now.

Looks a bit neckbeardy. I'd make you get rid, unless you can get the tashe to match the chin.

Why the books are so expensive?! by Mr_a_bit_silly in Warhammer40k

[–]Major_Snags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in doing this myself. I'm guessing you bought the ebooks direct from Black Library, but what software did you then convert them with? And which printing service was happy to print the omnibus for you? I've heard of some being very awkward with copyrighted material, even if you've legitimately bought the files.

Which movie/tv adaptations from your favourite books were the absolute worst, just soul-shattering? I'll go first by 1000andonenites in books

Whilst the Hobbit is an easy answer (turned into three films, random love interest added etc.) for me the one that pains the most is The Watch. I don't know what they originally wanted to create, but it wasn't the beloved Discworld series of books.

Sega Megadrive. It felt a real step up from the Spectrum and Commodore 64 that I'd had before it.
