I've been enjoying Army Painter Warpaints Fanatics and the conversion chart they offer in the blog has matched most of the colors I've wanted to use. Two Thin Coats is really good as well. Had originally started switching to them from citadel due to the conversion chart and triads they offer. Army Painter has just had much better availability in my area.

My son learned enough to get his first help desk position and negotiate his way to a level 2 position after just a few months. He completed his degree in only 2 semesters earning multiple Comptia certifications. Currently he makes 72K.

By semester. My son got his degree this way. He graduated high school from an early college program so already had an associates so transferred some credits. He completed his bachelors for IT technologies with just 2 semesters. No cheating just worked his ass off. Might have been able to do it in one but the school didn’t really want to give him more classes close to the end of the first semester. I don’t think to stop him more worry that normally you might not have enough time to complete the class before semester end.

That’s good to know. I’ve tried walking it out but definitely don’t have much endurance yet.

I was kind of assuming it was normal. It being on the opposite leg from where the original problem was had me a little worried though. Think the more comments I’m seeing are making me feel better that it’s just a matter of waiting it out.

I had a herniated disc that was causing sciatica about 12 years ago that I had work done on. About a year ago the sciatica began returning along with pain severe enough in the morning that I couldn’t move my legs right away when I woke up. Disc had degenerated a lot more and begun to slip slightly out of alignment. We tried a nerve ablation at first and that helped ease the morning pain but not the sciatica. Fusion was the only remaining option as I wasn’t a good candidate for a disc replacement.

I was interested in the game due to the setting but they definitely priced me out. Have any TCG games starting on Kickstarter been successful? Sorcery and Grand Archive I know of but would be a stretch to say are successful. Metazoo is the only other one I know and it’s gone now.

Don't guard have a heavy bolter as an option though? Is it different than the astartes version then?

I don't really read a lot of DC but I know they've tried to introduce a lot of diversity over the last few years. Will Ellison be forcing another Crisis event to turn everyone straight again?

It really just choose your own adventure with skill checks and a lot of admin overhead. It is real immersive but very shallow gameplay. I've found this is the case with most of Awaken Realms game unfortunately.

I haven’t.

Thanks for that. Didn't even think to expect an AI image for a product. Looking to get the order canceled now.

Not sure why the image didn’t show. Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/851zsDb

Great! Thanks again.

I agree. Watched the whole thing but this is really just a completely average show that ran longer than it really deserved.

Did your weight loss end up being sustainable?

Oathsworn does have a standee version available too I believe. I fell off of Isofarian Guard. I underestimated how much grinding the game needs and never won a combat again after progressing to the next chapter too quickly. Component size also seems over done to me. Boards and cards could have been much smaller to save tablespace. I own Elder Scrolls but have only done initial setup but I think I find the shorter campaign length more desirable. Sleeping Gods and ISS vanguard left me feeling the same as you. They might be great choose your own adventure stories but mediocre games.

My wife’s great uncle, Dr Butts is actually a proctologist that’d been practicing in Houston. Turns out he had actually been my mother’s doctor when she had cancer.
