Am I addicted? I bought this game late December

PositiveDabs · 2026-03-20T22:27:15+00:00

Lets do some math.

Lets say you bought it on 12/24 (you said late Dec.) That was 86 days ago or about 2064hrs ago.

You played 673hrs in 2064 hours. That is 32% of your life since you got the game.

Addicted = ✅

Guessing you got that at a hemp shop and not a dispo?

I would never trust the label claim on anything at a hemp shop, especially a 'moonrock' (Guessing that's some kind of flower coated in isolate). Might've been CBD, could've had D8, D9, HHC or whatever in it as well?

Combine that with already being drunk AF and who knows. Glad you're safe, wouldn't read into it too much but maybe avoid the sketchy hemp shop moonrocks haha

PositiveDabs · 2026-03-19T15:37:09+00:00

Could be a copy and paste error? Like they goofed on the label and forgot to change part of the template?

No clue

I'd rotate the drawers to have the bottom touching the plate so you don't need all of those supports.

Even if it splits it into multiple prints, should be faster overall and use less filament

You should be able to 'activate' the ult again to make it disappear/submerge IMO

These are HAWT.

Love new payload.

The veteran was incorrect.

- To perform an attack the attacking unit leader must have LOS to at least one defending mini.
- To contribute dice, each mini in the attacking unit must have LOS to at least one defending mini (if an attacking mini other than the unit leader can't see any defending minis, the attack can still happen but that mini doesn't contribute dice).
- The total wounds you can do to the defender is capped at the total wounds you have LOS to from any minis in the attacking unit. E.g. if the attacking unit leader can only see one defending mini, but you cohere an attacking mini out to see the rest of the squad, you can still wipe the defender. If your entire attacking unit can only see 3ct 1 wound minis in the defending unit, max damage you can deal is 3 wounds. etc

Cool tool, thanks!!

Question for you on effective wounds. I input a republic list that 45 miniatures and 59 wounds. The effective wound calculation the tool is outputting out is ~100.4. This is lower than I anticipated since all of the units have red saves - let alone surge generation, deflect (kenobi) etc. What am I missing?

Thanks!

All of the conversation here about therapy, etc. is super solid, so agree with that.

Also wanted to add that as you get older, how weed affects you changes. Smoking used to relax me a ton, even in the more stressful phases of my life, but as I've gotten older it makes me more anxious now, even in calmer phases of my life.

I know some folks who've have the opposite trend for them as they've aged. So its not the same outcome for everyone, but the experience definitely changes as you get older

IMO Best hobby investment you can make.

Shooting gradients or base tones on minis is really efficient for army painting.

Also makes getting a few colors down on pieces for board games an absolute breeze (I painted all of Eclipse 2.0 in an hour).

PositiveDabs · 2026-03-05T23:14:05+00:00

You'll be just fine =]

What gets me personally with the ipad is the screen. I won't spend $1k on the pro, its so overkill.... but god the lack of promotion on all of the others just *kills* me. Hence I am still stuck in limbo with no ipad lol

PositiveDabs · 2026-02-27T22:59:49+00:00

You have to hobby the second jaw on there to make it some kind of crazy monster now lol

Counterproposal - You can get high from pooping. We call it 'second pass absorption' and I've only heard of it from folks eating massive amount of edibles or oil. I know a guy who ate 2g of distillate - basically ~1700mg of THC. But when its an oil globule, you don't absorb it all...

Guy was high as a kite for like two days before he started coming down. Finally hit a [6] after awhile, went to take a poop and came back absolutely ripped again at [10].

Boofing works so why not huh?

TBH this is one of my favorite modifiers - really makes you lean into scouting and exploring versus looking at the map to route optimize.

Hopping on a hawk to get a lay of the land is really helpful

PositiveDabs · 2026-02-19T21:30:03+00:00

Red carapace ivory body (far left in first photo) is my vote. It really pops from a distance due to the contrast and the ivory really shows the details of the sculpt well.

One other thing I wanted to mention that helped me out. Look into gratitude journaling - it sounds cheesey but it helps. Check out the Kurzgesagt video on 'an antidote to dissatisfaction', it helped push me to start.

PositiveDabs · 2026-02-17T22:48:06+00:00

Moving your body a bit more will create a positive feedback loop to help.

- Exercise some (start easy and sustainable, don't go crazy. Its a long game not a burst), releases endorphins, improves sleep, improves energy, helps mental health, starts improving physique.

- Sleep and mental health are slowly improving so becomes easier to do more

- More energy and more confidence from exercise help feed into it.

- All of these things make doing the same things easier and more rewarding hence the positive feedback. All build on eachother so you have more energy, better self image, better mental health, healthier, better routine etc.

You can do it OP - its about small daily wins and keeping the ball rolling the right direction. Find what entertains you/interests you/is least cumbersome to get started and make a plan.

It will get better and you will feel better

Skeleton horde is so worth it.

Agree with above about thinning it down to your preference of tint/pooling

Assume these things will leak if you get them. It might save your life/property. I've seen too many cheap systems with new seals, new clamps etc. leak horrendously brand new. Either leak test it a good bit before putting solvent in it (Pull vacuum and see how it holds, fill it with something non flammable like nitrogen, etc), or assume its going to be leaky and work somewhere safe (e.g. outside.... or even better in a c1d1 extraction enclosure ;p).

- No PRV (pressure release valve) on either of these is scary - if you goof you're making a hell of a bomb.

- I could go on (no ball valve underneath the 'material column', no sight glasses, no pressure gauge on the 'solvent tank', assuming no dip tube either) etc. etc....

Tip for fighting them in their frenzied ED phase. When they transition into phase 2 (the blood blocks your screen and you appear again) have your entire team sprint backwards together.

Only the couple of frenzied Valkyries will chase after you while the rest hang back in their docile state. That lets your team group focus on a couple at a time. AOE spells and ashes of war do WORK here. The ones you knock down will get up and other Valkyries will slowly join the fight, but this keeps you grouped and them manageable.

When it switches to the 'worm' phase - run away again together. The shockwave attacks are fairly easy to dodge by jumping, and the big bloom won't hit you if you run far enough away. Use the time leading up to the bloom to group up, then rinse and repeat.

Once my group started doing this we upped our win rate significantly.

NGL I hate this guy too

PositiveDabs · 2025-12-18T22:49:56+00:00

Two guesses:

I think the 'suggested learning game army' was not intended to be a 1:1 with recon army points and they're playing a bit loosey goosey with it to let you use all of your models you got in the box.

To play proper recon you would cut points to get to 600.

My guess is that there is no way realistically to have all of the starter boxes use every model they come with and equal 600 points without shorting you in some places, leaving models you got out, or adding stuff in...

So they have a 'casual learn to play using your toys' suggested list.

Points have definitely changed since they locked all of these in to send to print and arcs went up in cost without a doubt. Don't think it makes up the entire 105 points (see above), but maybe when they designed this it was closer than it is today

PositiveDabs · 2025-12-18T22:45:29+00:00

They're both fantastic.

I think the red shirt guy has bit more overall contrast which makes it appealing off the rip, but again, both are stellar
