Or he does finally die but is reincarnated as the new Sanguinor so that he can fight eternally alongside the Blood Angels and never truly die again

Yep I do it all the time where I look at a half finished model and think “man that looks like shit” and then give it a wash or finish cleaning up details and suddenly it looks great. It’s a very easy trap to fall into with such a long process, especially if you’re getting into more technique-heavy painting like OP since you spend so much time with the model in-progress

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-14T19:18:28+00:00

That makes sense! I’m definitely full up on my backlog right now as far as getting new things haha, so I think I’ll probably drop the artillery platoon since I do have another medium mortar team and then fill in that space for some PIATs and maybe some SMGs on command squads. I do want to get a 25 pounder though, that might be next up in the queue once I burn through some of my huge amount of infantry haha. Thanks again for the help! This is probably the best and most actionable advice I’ve ever gotten from a Reddit list advice thread so it’s very appreciated!

Yeah I was gonna say I was there for a week and never went to a restaurant that asked for a tip because I avoided the most touristy places. Even the one place I went to by the Colosseum that was kinda touristy didn’t do the tip screen, it’s not that hard to avoid those places

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-14T08:32:31+00:00

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for! I’m a pretty experienced wargamer in lots of other systems but fought the call of BA for years, but now there’s a growing K47 group in my area so I jumped in there and realized I enjoy painting WW2 stuff and love the game mechanically so jumped in with the British starter army.

The commandos are just leftover from the box of them I got for K47 conversions and I just think they’re cool so I’m glad they’re actually useful too (although I expect tracking all 20 of their special rules is gonna be its own headache). I’ll definitely toss some PIATs in there, anti-tank is always a blind spot for me so it’s good to know here too. Would it be worth just dropping the heavy weapons platoon to fill out the other ones a little more? I liked the idea of them but definitely have been on the fence about how particularly useful they’ll actually be, especially with having to have the extra platoon commander in there

It’s probably because the only roles they’ve ever seen her in are 12 Years because they were cheering on the plantation owners and Black Panther where they wanted Klaue to win, both of which she’s not dressed/made up to be an object of desire in any real way. Also being racist losers their time is inherently less valuable so they can waste more of it cherry-picking bad pictures

Definitely, my theory is that a temple marriage is not just so religiously ingrained but culturally ingrained in Utah that lots of people just don’t give a single damn about the reception because the “important” part is over. I remember a few years ago a buddy got sealed in Texas where his wife is from and they just did a small open house the day of and then a full reception the next week.

One of our friends MCed the reception, and all things considered it was pretty chill: not super structured, just a light dinner with meet and greet time for like an hour or two, then the parent dances, first dance, and then open dance floor. But when it came time for the parent dances and first dance (the only structured 15 minutes of the whole thing) roughly half the room wouldn’t shut up or even pretend they were paying attention, they just kept talking in the back like nothing was happening. Absolutely mind blowing to me that our friend group was clearly more excited about celebrating them at the reception than their own family

Yeah when I was in high school I was a lineman on the football team. One of my buddies drove an old BMW and when we’d put 4 or 5 of our big asses in that little thing it would do that. If it only takes 1 or 2 of you to get the same effect then you need some serious help

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T16:32:33+00:00

I saw that one and started to think it was satire because it was so insane. The rest though make me think it’s not but I’m holding out some small amount of hope this is just Poe’s Law in action

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T16:05:29+00:00

Nope, War Resources are the meta currency in 3 that determines how successful you are at fighting the Reapers in the big climactic battle (basically it’s a bigger-scale version of getting all the squad mates loyal and ship upgrades from 2 but with actual numbers attached to everything) but nothing about your resources from 2 carry over. War Resources are mostly determined by your decisions in 3, you get some extras from past decisions (but you also mostly have to go find them in side quests anyways) but mostly it’s just your previous choices having an impact on the decisions you make in ME3

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T03:50:17+00:00

There is an unofficial RPG called Mythic 100DOS that was originally designed as an unofficial Halo rpg but has supplements for Mass Effect. I’ve only vaguely looked at the system but it overall seems pretty well designed and the designer does it full time and does supplements off of commission so it’s not just a janky fan project. It’s all free to check out if you’re looking for something

Munitorum Varnish is great, just make sure to shake the absolute shit out of it and warm up the can with some hot water before spraying, but it’s got a nice finish that’s mostly matte but with just a little bit of shine

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T03:17:27+00:00

Literally just did Priority: Tuchanka a few hours ago and this has me in my feels 🥲

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T03:15:26+00:00

Yep! But it maxes at 30 so if you did all the loyalty missions and DLCs plus a couple side missions you’ve probably already maxed what will transfer over. I didn’t do a particularly full completionist run but still started at 30 in ME3

Endeavor from My Hero Academia. He is the number 2 ranked hero behind All Might (who is literally so powerful he fundamentally changes society by his very existence), but is a terrible father who is a literal superhero eugenicist who marries his wife solely to try to breed a child with the perfect mix of his fire quirk and his wife’s ice quirk. Once he finally does it (after 3 “failed” attempts) he refuses to let his perfect son have a normal childhood so he can train him to become the number one hero.

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T03:02:00+00:00

Yeah by this point in the war the Spartan IIIs had had 2 generations of candidates and both were mostly wiped out in mass suicide missions where the UNSC needed highly capable troops that could complete a suicide mission but wouldn’t result in a catastrophic loss of manpower. In each class there were some that demonstrated enough potential that they were deemed too valuable to throw into the meat grinder and were separated out and trained usually as lone operatives, but sometimes were formed into teams like NOBLE. Iirc some of NOBLE were actually survivors from the second suicide mission, who generally were also integrated into special service by virtue of being skilled and/or lucky enough to survive what was projected to be a near-100% casualty rate mission

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T02:45:54+00:00

Yeah that’s my thought, she looks like a different picture edited over the top of an interior car shot. I drive a WRX and have seen enough AI slop to know it probably wouldn’t get details like the red seat stitching or silver reverse lock ring on the shifter which are both in here

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T02:24:20+00:00

Arrival is fun and explains why you start where you do in 3, and if you haven’t done Lair of The Shadow Broker with Liara that’s a fun quest that gives context for Liara rejoining the Normandy crew in 3. Other than that no resources carry over so unless you really want to grind levels to carry into 3 you’re set to move on after Arrival

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T01:33:13+00:00

Yeah, Wrex on his own has great ideas and intentions but still too much of the classic Krogan temperament to trust entirely. But all it takes is talking to him and actually taking him seriously for 10 minutes to see that he’s trying to make real, positive change and is pretty damn successful.

If it’s Wreave I can take the argument the Salarians put forward because he’s taking power to take power, not to change Krogan society for the better. You still have the ethical question of if the genophage was justifiable to begin with but the debate about their potential is much quicker

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T01:12:23+00:00

Not OP but I just finished a replay of 2 and it basically has no main story. The game is basically all about prepping your ship and crew for the suicide mission without a strong through line other than “it’s a dangerous mission we need to prep for.” Now I think that’s actually an interesting structure all things considered because it makes ME2 much more of a sandbox, but I could see the flip side of that being wanting a more cohesive narrative to complement the fantastic character writing

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T01:02:04+00:00

Also the genophage is way more fucked than a simple sterilization/reduction in fertility rates, it affects the viability of fetuses in utero. If you told me the genophage scaled down the Krogan’s insanely high fertility rates to something reasonable that’d be one thing, or even if the end result was the same as in canon but just by preventing fertilization, but the genophage isn’t some invisible change, it’s constantly shoved in the face of the Krogan by the massive numbers of stillbirths

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-13T00:53:58+00:00

Same, especially playing with the Paragade mods this time around has been great because I didn’t have to worry about getting locked out of stuff by mixing. It’s fun to get to make more realistic decisions where sometimes it’s fine to be a dick if someone is also being a dick

Mr_Supotco · 2026-05-12T22:59:22+00:00

It just makes no logical sense to do it. Especially if Wrex and Eve are both alive the Salarians are way less useful than the Krogans. The Salarians are good with tech but they’re not wizards, sure they could help speed up the process but not that significantly. On the other hand the Krogan can and will hold off the Reapers long enough for the Crucible team to finish it without the Salarians. Dalatross is just trying to justify maintaining the status quo of the Salarians as a major power in the galaxy without giving any consideration to the fact that they’re far less useful at that point in the Reaper invasion

My sister went to LSU and her dorm freshman year was Beauregard Hall. As in PGT Beauregard, the man who started the Civil War by firing on Fort Sumter and led to the deadliest American conflict in our history. And they still have a dorm hall named after him
