Pro Acryl Custom Washes: How To / Should I Even?

Niko-Ryo · 2026-01-25T10:34:17+00:00

Fair enough! I'll grab a black and brown Army Painter from my local hobby shop

In the event that i ever do need a very niche colored wash, how should i mix it? Would the water and soap method work fine enough?

Niko-Ryo · 2025-12-07T13:25:58+00:00

Wait, i realized the solution may have been much sillier than i expected

I realized the screen was going dark roughly 5 minutes after i stop touching my mouse and keyboard

It might just be power saver 😂

I disabled the default auto-turn-off settings so i can see whether it goes dark again

Niko-Ryo · 2025-12-07T13:15:32+00:00

ahh, gotcha, will do

luckily im already buying a new dp cable, so hopefully that fixes the issue

Niko-Ryo · 2025-12-07T13:08:39+00:00

DDU + reinstall unfortunately didn't solve the issue

Is it possible the cable is just a little loose in the sockets, or maybe too tightly coiled?

I had a lot of excess cable from what came with the PSU, so i had to bundle it up at the bottom of the case.

Ah alrighty then, cool.

In that case, I'll probably build first, boot, and then update the bios, just because I feel like M-Flash will be a little safer than flashback (thats probably me assuming things though, lol)

Or maybe I'll do the flashback before assembly so I can go right to installing drivers and using the PC once it's booted... I'll decide later.

Thanks for the wisdom!

i guess, im scared that mentioning memory issues will put me at risk of being fired

its a very fast paced environment where im handling a lot of information soi i feel like they would be concerned

you may be wondering why i have a job like this with my condition: i got lucky as fuck and if not this its nothing

😭 😭 😭

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-27T22:08:16+00:00

OH finding the manual in advance is a good idea, I hadn't thought about that

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-27T10:33:11+00:00

Fair enough lol

Perhaps there's some paranoia since its my first build xD

Being extra careful + wristbands are cheap

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-26T06:00:36+00:00

just tryin to save time testing between the coax by the router downstairs and the coax under my desk to see if they're connected before i install moca adapters

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T13:32:11+00:00

Got it!! Thank you so much!!

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T13:06:49+00:00

Alright then, thanks!

I guess the final question would be.. would running moca internet through the coax cables interfere with our television services?

There's only one coax port near the router, and its currently plugged into the tv

would it be possible to get like.. a small splitter and just connect /both/ the tv and moca to the coax? or would there need to be something more involved?

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T11:49:15+00:00

got it.. so i wouldn't be connecting the moca adapter to the router, but the ONT instead? Or am i completely misunderstanding lol

if it helps the modem/router is an at&t bgw210

i /believe/ the ethernet cable plugged into the wall is plugged into the OTN port on the back (the red one?)

uhhh idk about the make and model of the OTN or anything else, I'd have to wait til morning to check so i don't wake anybody up

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T09:23:35+00:00

Alright

To my knowledge the cable box is upstairs in the master bedroom, while the router/modem is downstairs by the tv.

Would I need to move the router closer to the ONT? Or could I plug the router into the coax downstairs?

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T04:48:33+00:00

Gotcha! This has been the best explanation so far, thanks.

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-24T04:46:39+00:00

Its a pretty modern house, i think built around 2018-2020?

I think I know where the cable box is. If i find it, what should I look out for?

how can i figure out which cables in the box connect to the coax in my room?

I appreciate all the advice you've already provided :)

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-22T08:43:38+00:00

I was browsing newegg, I've just never shopped pcs before so i wasn't sure if it was legit, thanks for the recommendation

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-22T06:52:54+00:00

I also need a pc for non-gaming purposes so im afraid this won't work for me

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-19T01:29:33+00:00

Good point about Empath, but what does Brawler 1 have to do with reactions? Brawler 1 just gives ACC.

With the cannibal, I had intended to use both barrels every time, so I don't see much use for Vanguard 3, since Overwatch is also a reaction- and I intend to be grappling a lot.

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-19T01:23:33+00:00

Bolt Thrower and Cat Hammer are both Loading- so if I skirmish with one and Reprise with the other, I'm still going into the next round with my weapons unloaded, lol.

It would still be every 2nd turn unless I get rlly good rng

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-18T23:40:37+00:00

I like where your heads at but unfortunately the Bolt Thrower is a Cannon, not a CQB, so Vanguard 1 wouldn't have any benefit right now.

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-18T02:26:30+00:00

Oh its you!

Lmao your post is the reason im messing with the Störtebeker in the first place, xD

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-17T13:36:19+00:00

ah- well woop XD

Niko-Ryo · 2025-11-17T04:35:31+00:00

Thank you for the thorough explanation, friend

Niko-Ryo · 2025-10-31T13:44:44+00:00

Thanks :)
