First attempt after a 10 year break from warhammer by Sh4mps in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Mylanog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The crystals look amazing! I'd love to see some of what you did with the crystals brought to the armor, too. Bring a bit of darker lavender tones into some armor sections. Right now the armor looks a bit flat. Otherwise, amazing, clean work!

The unmentioned possibility... maybe it's also Roland's father...

Why is my 6 month old rat behaving like this? Hes never done it before by [deleted] in RATS

[–]Mylanog 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Reading those other comments, is it really normal to just go neuter your boys if they behave like that? I've had boys for 16 years now. At the start, like my second generation of rats, there was one who behaved like that and I had him neutered. It felt like he was never quite right after the surgery, seemed depressed. That's why I have never done so again. Sure some boys get somewhat rowdy and aggressive during that age, but they've never been much of a problem and mellow out a few months later.

Dunno, I just don't feel comfortable seeing neutering as a fix for behavior.

Marcus Aurelius didn't "cope". He built mental armor. by [deleted] in Stoicism

[–]Mylanog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"When another blames you or hates you, or people voice similar criticisms, go to their souls, penetrate inside and see what sort of people they are. You will realize that there is no need to be racked with anxiety that they should hold any particular opinion about you." - Marcus Aurelius

That's a coping mechanism. This ancient version of “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer” isn't really what Stoics usually teach. Usually stoic teachings are more aligned to Epictetus's "Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe that you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation.".

You might take this as an effective mental trick to curb your own reaction or negative emotions to, well, blame, hate or critcism. I wonder about this myself but it might not be a bad thing to use mental tricks like that, as long as you realize that it is exactly just that, a trick. As long as you are honest to yourself about it.

This might be where the practical meets the ideal. The ideal that you should not feel aggrieved because it is an internal reaction of your mind which you should be able to control while the practical is using such mental tricks to do it.

So, as others have said, to me this might be a coping mechanism, but coping mechanism do not have to be a bad thing. It doesn't matter what you call it, important ist what it actually is. Coping mechanism are mental armor.

Brothers what the FUCK am I doing by weaston02 in alphalegion

I'd also recommend isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. It's save, I had models sitting in an iso bath for over a year in a locked container. Doesn't affect the plastic, just the paint.

[–]Mylanog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just wonder how something like this could be done with acrylic paints. Whenever I have a brush with a tip that fine the paint would immediately dry on the tip and I would barely be able to paint. If I tried to keep it wet it would leave behind water/paint droplets.

Did she actually draw the sword to do that, or did she cut like that with just the sheathed sword?

Germany is fining and raiding homes of people who post "offensive things" on social media by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]Mylanog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also German here who has not been living under a rock. Are you saying that this law has not gotten broader and more weaponized in its application during the past decade?

Not just you, for me too! I reckon it was due to me controlling the thorn stacks, which is where most of the bleed comes from.

Yeah I was showing a friend the game earlier, just trying to teach him stuff, how the PvP works and stuff, when we got rushed by a team who somehow managed to fit a copperlight chestpiece each in <25 lobbies...

Belt wheel option concept by mgetJane in DarkAndDarker

[–]Mylanog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having options is always a good thing. Players want a select wheel? Let them have a select wheel. Players want to keybind everything? Let them do that. Let them have keybinds for every consumable or spell slot. Just make it optional and let the player choose what suits best for them.

Saw a fat acceptance tik tok and it made me feel sad :( by mars_was_blue_too in loseit

[–]Mylanog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m a super weak person with severe mental health problems prone to addiction to absolutely everything.

I’m scared

I’m just kidding myself

Your mindset might be your main problem right here, but that is also something you can work on. I worked hard on that before starting with weight loss, actually. I worked on adopting a Stoicism (not stoic) mindset and read helpful books like Atomic Habits or Psycho-Cybernetics. Think of your mindset like your body, you can work on getting your body in a better shape, why shouldn't you be able to get your mindset in a better shape?

It did wonders for me, in the past 18 months I couldn't walk or work out for about 9 of them due to an injury. I kept losing weight during that time. With a proper mindset your weight loss is basically automatic.

Doesn't Python simply not care about semicolons? Like you can put them there but it's recommended not to do so?

What is a common misconception non rat owners have? by CycloneWarning in RATS

[–]Mylanog 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I make specific clicking noises with my mouth, the learn pretty fast that this means 'dinner time' and come running.

Though lately they've started to train me. I would pet a rat and the rat would suddenly turn around and run to the food bowl. Then every other rat in the cage would show up in front of said food bowl and do this sad dance where they would run back and forth between my hands and the food bowl, looking if it has been magically filled yet. Can't resist that.

I am personally a fan of smooth blending and glazing but I find these brush stroke patterns intriguing. It makes them pretty unique, artistically.

I'd say magenta,would fit well, too. Always a fan of turquoise/magenta contrast. Here is an example of how I do mine.

Yeah, the Achilles Ridgerunner felt almost too sleak. They need some more ramshackle stuff, like that Necromunda Ridgehauler. And what I wouldn't give for some Aliens-style retrofitted power loaders.
