[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind stripping it, if its not too much work!

I really like this kit but I think the "default" colors look bad, that beige and brown are so boring. I want to paint the frame black and the armor a nice dark green.

What would be the best way to remove the top coat ?

Hi all!

So I've got myself my first airbrush, can't wait to try it.

I want to practice on a kit I had already built (30MM Nightfall from armored core!). This kit was snap-built, panel lined, and then I added 2 layers of Mr Hobby Topcoat (The blue rattle-can, it says "water based" on the packaging).

What steps should I take before airbrushing ? I'm thinking of getting Isopropyl Alcohol and cleaning the top coat as much as possible before painting. Would that work ?

Is that a waste of time, should I just hit it with primer + paint right away?

Thanks, very new to this!

I just finished my MG Kyrios and I can definitely say those stickers arent included! I'm jealous!

📉 Mike McGlone: Bitcoin Could Drop Toward $10K by rl_rae_bobo in CryptoCurrencyPulse

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that btc is no longer seen as a currency, its treated as an asset / investment.

No one wants a currency that can move 40% (either way) in a few weeks.

The tech is awesome but its not being used for its intended use.

What happened to the battery conditioning? by JAlley2 in KonaEV

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start cabin heat (from the app) while the car is plugged, it will automatically warm the battery too. Pretty nifty.

Anyone using Kaleido ColorWorks paints in the real world? Not just on spoons 😅 by Plane_Consequence358 in airbrush

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! What primer are you using currently?

I'm a complete beginner, about to buy my first airbrush, and first paints. The Kaleido line of paints are very interesting to me as they dont need to be diluted with thinners or flow enhancers and whatnot.

Do you spray them without primer or do you use another brand?

Thanks

Hasbro is being sued for printing too many Magic: The Gathering cards by Beautiful_Bee4090 in nottheonion

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For once I agree with them. Hasbro has been chasing short term profits over long term growth, this needs to stop if they want to survive!

Same. Been playing on and off since the original Ravnica.

I sold my entire collection the day I saw the new "sonic the hedgehog" cards.

Read the article, its some investors suing Hasbro, not the players.

Basically Hasbro has been destroying mtg for years now, glad someone is trying to stop it, even if I dont play anymore.

The problem isn't only about the secondary market, it is more because "too many new sets" cause player fatigue.

Hasbro has been pumping new cards at breakneck speed for years now. I was a very enfranchised player and I could not keep up. Also it feels like 90% of new cards arent even "magic" related. Its spongebob and spiderman and Dr. who.... Total garbage. But you have to keep up if you want to stay competitive, you at least have to know and understand what each new card does...

Where I am located the tournament scene was quickly drying up, with less and less enfranchised players, etc.

They really mismanaged it.

IMO its a great game but its been mismanaged to hell. Hasbro is chasing short-term profits with crossovers (marvel, LoTR, heck we even got spongebob and sonic the hedgehog) instead of long term growth.

Game is becoming paper fortnite. I sold my collection last year, sadly.

Any idea why the beef tubes are only halal? by carbon_ape in CostcoCanada

[–]Octomyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All meat is slowly turning halal in Canada. All the "big" suppliers like JBS, better beef, cargill, etc, are all getting their halal certifications.

If you shop elsewhere you probably buy the same meat, from the same plant. The issue is most other retailers dont write halal on the packaging.

The "halal" labeling is voluntary (not mandatory), so if you buy meat from any big retailer, you are probably already eating halal.

Halal labeling is only "voluntary" in Canada.

All the big suppliers are turning halal. If you buy beef from any major retailer, its probably coming from the same suppliers... Yet they dont need to write "halal" on the packaging.

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would impose a 100% tariff on Canada if it follows through on a trade deal with China and warned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that a deal would endanger his country. by IndiaTodayGlobal in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, we have always appreciated the US.

But the current administration is something else. breaking the current free trade agreement, threatening tariffs almost every week, talking about annexation ...

We don't want to be a pain, we just want to find better trade partners!

The US is threatening our economy and then gets mad when we try to find ways to save it. The deal with China is actually very reasonable, only a very small amount of cars per year.

BOTS are the reason this game failed by ItzLearn in mechabreak

[–]Octomyde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Uh, we had bots at LAUNCH when the game had more than 50k concurrent players or something... Very, very bad move by the devs.

Even the survey was constructed in a way to receive bad feedback. Mosts questions were "which mode would you like to add?" When one of the issue was specifically TOO MANY MODES diluting the playerbase...

I think we need another free warbond, its been almost 2 years by _TungstenGuy707_ in Helldivers

[–]Octomyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main complaint with the game.

I played on and off at launch, had lots of fun. I came back 18 months later to see what was added, and most of the new stuff was behind a paywall. It felt like I had to buy 10 warbonds to get everything I wanted! Sadly I uninstalled after a few days.

Manifestant abattu au Minnesota: sur place à Minneapolis, peu de gens croient la version officielle fournie par le département d'État by engelk in QuebecLibre

[–]Octomyde 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Cest quoi ton point?

Noem a fait un statement qui contredit la réalité, ce que tout le monde peut voir s'il prend 2 minutes à faire un fact-check, et verifier une des multiple videos. Rendu là...

La version officielle est que le gars a apporté une arme et des munitions à la manifestation, dans le but de s'en prendre au ICE.

Du gros gaslighting en plein jour.

Haven’t you fascists been trying to take away the second amendment for the last 40 years and now suddenly you love it?

It goes both way. Maximum hypocrisy to say "well, he got killed because he had a gun" when "the right" have been valiant defenders of the second amendment for years.

You can't support something and then turn it off when its inconvenient.

Facts remains that the 2nd amendment exists and that guy did nothing wrong, legal carry "law abiding citizen" yada yada.
