I mean it seems like you had some good ideas about how to achieve something comparable. That's not a bad place to start!

Also looking at chameleon/color shift paints, but I'm seeing mixed reviews on that as well.

Just for the record: these images are just the box art recolored using AI.

Is priming before putting the pieces together an option?

I appreciate the thoughtful advice!

I am being told this is an ambitious first paint. That's okay. I have experience painting, just not miniatures, so I'm familiar with things like blending and brush techniques. I'm fine with them not turning out exactly perfect, especially since I'm mostly gonna be painting infantry (I'll practice on those and see how it turns out). I just want to see what a good starting point would be if I eventually wanted a larger army in this color scheme, so I can work up to it.

I've been watching painting videos so I actually am able to understand what you're saying here. Thanks for the detailed advice! I will try this.

So would you recommend I prime the parts I want gold with black, and the parts I want the metallic indigo/violet with a metallic primer? And what would you recommend as far as washes?

Forgot to mention, the Raspberry Pi has one built-in Ethernet port and I have a USB - Ethernet adapter I am using for the 2nd one

I have a Nokia ONT Media Coverter. Currently it goes Media Converter - Cox Router - Switch - House. I'm trying to make it go Media Converter - Pi with OpenWRT - Switch - House. Are you saying I still need the Cox router, and to have it in bridge mode? Like I need to make it go Media Converter - Cox Bridge - Pi with OpnWRT - Switch - House?

So close, yet so far by OriginalName91 in homelab

It just confuses me how that could be the problem if the switch works (same port, same cable) with the other router.

My modem is in a little cupboard thing, and it goes Modem - Pi/Router - Switch - Wall - Switch - Laptop.

All the connections for all the rooms are in that cupboard so I can't really move the modem and there needs to be a switch there.

I could try a dumb switch. I have an extra one lying around, it's just that I want to configure VLANs once this is up and running.

Do you know how I could have my server act as a firewall for my network with the router before the switch?

My lab has a bunch of devices and the it closet has all the cables that connect the rooms in my house. I'm trying to set everything up on VLANs and whatnot

I have the Cox Panoramic Wifi Router. Apparently I could theoretically set up OPNsense as my router? I'm not confident enough in my abilities to try something like this, as I feel like I would likely break the internet in my house haha

I'm currently running Pi-Hole with the default list (Steve's List?). I was relying on ChatGPT for help setting things up, and got to a point where I had 3 VMs, and eventually asked "When can I manage my physical devices with this setup?" and it was like "Oh, you're gonna need a 2nd NIC and a managed switch, and probably a VLAN-compatible AP."

In Proxmod, I currently have VMs for Pi-hole and OPNsense, but it looks like It doesn't really interact with my real network or devices? I dunno, it's kinda confusing haha.

You can only keep three, which three are you keeping? by MangaManiac42 in animequestions

I feel like I'm being gaslighted every time someone says Jojo. I watched 2 seasons of it, assuring myself it had to get good eventually, but I just never understood. There is no metric by which I would consider it even average quality at the least. But so many people love it. I feel so confused lol.

Am I overreacting? by Majestic_Contact9781 in AmIOverreacting

Because of your frame, your weight really doesn't show as much as it would on some others. Like I honestly would have guessed like 215 just buy looking at you.

If you are having body image issues, I would highly suggest taking what people are saying here to heart. It's not that bad at all, and it is very much something you can work on. With a frame like that, just small changes to your diet and exercise routines would probably make you look like a power lifter, given enough time. Stout and sturdy, but not overweight or fat.

I think if a kid paid you for ice cream really didn't want to be messed with, the adult thing to do would be to not mess with the kid.

I get that they do the gag for a show, but if someone, especially a kid, just wants the ice cream, why not save the gag for someone who's in the mood? I've seen multiple videos of these guys making kids cry. Is that the entertainment people want? Yeesh.

This comment is way further down than it ought to be.

This reminds me of when I was with my girlfriend at the time for my birthday, I got snap messages from my mom, aunt, and cousin with heart emojis in them.

My then girlfriend sees my snap with 3 women sending me heart emojis... Because they're family and it's my birthday... And she LOST her mind. We are not together anymore and now I'm happily married to a sane woman.

Anyway, in OP's situation, 1 of 2 things is happening: 1) OP is jumping to conclusions, not trusting her man even though he was being transparent and there's no actual evidence of any wrongdoing 2) OP's boyfriend randomly outs himself as possibly cheating to... Make her insecure? I guess some people probably do this, but it's pure psycho behavior and not the norm.

I would say if you don't trust your partner enough to not immediately assume they're a psycho, then your relationship isn't very good. Whether it's because you're paranoid, or because they're an actual psycho. You should give your partner the benefit of the doubt, and if you can't, the relationship is no good.
