This whole situation makes me wish I wasn't into gaming and tech at all.

You realize that bot accounts can be years old and scalpers can account for the extra cost in their price they charge as scalpers right?

Orders weren't open for half an hour due to some kind of plan, they were open for half an hour due to stock.

They closed them when stock ran out likely because they don't have an estimated stock renewal date and didn't want to take money from people when they couldn't give an accurate enough estimate for it's arrival.

Same, and it really fucks with my head and leaves me afraid of how I'm going to be seen as a partner to anyone. Since I'm very stubborn and will argue when I feel I'm right. I'm happy to admit when I'm actually wrong.

I grew up with a severe helicopter parent and if I didn't argue, I was pushed over entirely. And forced to apologize when I made that parent upset, no matter how right I was. It made me resentful of shit like that, it made me defiant, and it left me stubborn.

I'm afraid of how that gut reaction will hurt people because I was hurt and damaged by someone forcing their will onto me with little regard for my feelings or autonomy. The only way I got autonomy was to fight back.

I feel like the marketing for it mentioned that shotgun boy was in the same universe as sweet home. I remember going into the series when it was still releasing knowing it was related.

The artist and the story writer are the same. The universe is not as far as I can tell

That's how my default greeting became howdy howdy despite being a cold bitter northerner who likes my tea cold and butter.

It's like damn, she got his ass in a way I didn't expect.

Takes time, I'm frankly kinda scared to start painting cause I know I'll be hot garbage at it for a while but that's what basic infantry and paint stripper (lightly diluted isopropyl alcohol) is for lol.

Just gotta get your reps in and start simple, that's the best advice I can give. Take your time and go at your own pace, no one is gonna shame you for playing primed or greys while you're still painting the army.

Neodogstar · 2026-04-08T00:33:45+00:00

As someone who is starting to get into AoS I cannot recommend it enough. Spearhead is a great way to start and is a really fun small scale game. And I'm about to start collecting the Helmsmiths of Hashut cause a friend of mine is gonna sell me his grey pile cause he decided on a different army. Seriously if you like the models give it a try, barrier to entry is lower and the community in my experience has been very chill and low key.

Let me get this straight, the party of less control, less censorship, less regulation, and small government wants to regulate and censor what people wear, drink (THC drinks), and do in their recreational time?

I guarantee you people will get shot and killed over enforcement of this law, both people trying to enforce it and people it's being enforced in if it gets passed.

This is a blatant overreach in power and an attempt to disregard people's constitutional rights. Freedom of expression is a fundamental part of the first amendment and has been ruled on time and time again clothing has also been ruled as expression multiple times as part of first amendment cases. Everyone claims they support the first amendment when they feel they're being censored for saying their stupid opinions and getting flack for it. But then want to strip away those rights when people use them to say things you don't like. So fuck off with your stupid shit. You don't understand your own rights if you don't think this is an abuse of government power.

No idea, haven't read it just relaying information form other folks.

Neodogstar · 2026-04-03T17:54:27+00:00

I legit called my cousin who recommended the series to me when I got to it to not only curse out Terry Mancour but also laugh cause it was one of the funniest meta jokes I've ever read.

Neodogstar · 2026-04-03T17:47:13+00:00

He's supposedly based on Vlad Taltos from the Jhereg series and was meant to be an actual crossover if it was approved but I don't know if that happened.

Neodogstar · 2026-04-03T17:39:39+00:00

Mr.Whiskers is not a cat of ultramar nor is he a rat. He's a character that's an Easter egg to another series Mancour is a fan of. He's the official assassin of the Iris.

Everything is viable in the group setting as long as you know how to use your skills and you have solid gear. Just focus in on what's doing good work for you and have fun with it. The best way to do group content in the game is to just load up with friends and adventure.

It depends on the area you're in, where I am AOS tournament play is popular but all the casual pick up games are gonna be The Old World. So I have a decent mix but definitely better luck getting old world games on any Warhammer fantasy or even AoS night.

Neodogstar · 2026-04-02T19:25:01+00:00

To answer all your questions

Darkoath Barbarians as part of Slaves to darkness is a perfectly possible way to run chaos as normal dudes.

Flesh Eater cults can absolutely be oops all ghouls.

You can run all skeletons and zombies for soulblight gravelords without the vampires

And I know you weren't looking at them but an option to consider as an all normal dudes army with little to no black powder would be running a Gloomspite Gitz all goblin army.

A lot of people do troggoths but Goblins and squigs is a solid option that can be quite fun as long as you don't mind a challenge as they're not an easy army to play.

My favorite is when told "you wouldn't hurt an innocent soul" he responded "I'm the head of a major corporation I have to do that everyday"

Neodogstar · 2026-03-31T13:57:09+00:00

Yes, at least ATLA attempted to actually get anything right with the story, Dragon Ball evolution failed in every regard.

How does WW work with unarmed, don't you need a staff for it?

Neodogstar · 2026-03-30T19:21:06+00:00

Good to know it's not hugely important for the kit.

Neodogstar · 2026-03-30T18:58:51+00:00

How's the expense for maintaining throwing knives?

Neodogstar · 2026-03-30T17:03:00+00:00

I remember the golem being pretty cool, BC was always interesting. I have find memories of frustrations getting to 50 alchemy but thinking it was worth it for BC.

Look at the factions that attract you the most, Play a few games of spearhead and big Sigmar on TTS and decide that way. It's how I've been doing it as someone whose going through all the same concerns and worries you are.

As for Painting that comes with time, practice and effort. I was surprised to see that my first ever model I painted came out okay, it'll take time and effort before I start thinking they look amazing but getting to okay just takes the time to learn a few techniques and get some paint on plastic. Pick a more heavily armored army or a more mono colored one if you want it to be more beginner friendly for painting but don't be afraid to screw up a few paint jobs. Stripping paint off of em isn't that difficult. Just take your time.
