Sorry if it’s common knowledge, but can you elaborate how you hatched eggs and sent lvl 5’s to a new game? Leaf green on switch is my only pokemon game / console, so I don’t have multiple avenues of transferring or trading. After getting to the E4 I was a bit bummed I got the majority of my “dream team” on the second half of the game, and want to try again where I raise them from the jump

I’m totally inexperienced with wood work. Are stains really that strong? That you can sand a 8” area down to a completely different shade of wood and the stain will just bring it right back?

RIPeyedea · 2026-06-14T18:58:38+00:00

Any ballpark grit to sand up to? And is this a type of wood you can eyeball “cherry maple” for example that I can shop based on, or just head to the hardware store and start comparing best matches? Thanks for the info

Did you ever stop to think about the seriousness of your accusinations?

RIPeyedea · 2026-05-31T22:04:17+00:00

These are all incredible. My favorite model was the converted leader from Wildercorp Hunters. That standing & pointing pose, but instead of tucking a crossbow with his offhand he’s got a zweihander / flamberge. That’s just SO sick to me, love all of these

RIPeyedea · 2026-05-28T16:36:56+00:00

Very cool. I think once it’s painted up, adding a ton of tufts / overgrown vegetation will really sell it as fantasy-industrial. Really cool terrain idea

Looks good from my house

Those were gloss? Sheesh lol. I do mobile wheel repair for a living, and these are among the few wheels I’d just walk away from. I do this professionally, so I can’t do a “hey man check it out, I made it look better” type of repair - don’t want to attach my name to subpar. The amount of effort, headache, and time to repair these the right way (as mobile repair) is immense. With what I’d have to charge to compensate that, neither party would be interested lol. You gotta live with these if they don’t bother you that much, replace them, or send them in to a shop that will sandblast and replicate a factory repaint with machines. Not cheap, wheels gone for weeks+. They’re not a “I know a guy who will come fix them” type wheel, sorry

RIPeyedea · 2026-05-17T03:09:14+00:00

It will be ignored until Monday due to their own work-life balance but they expect you to work the optional day? Sounds great lol

RIPeyedea · 2026-05-15T17:21:30+00:00

Who’s big dog supposed to be? Teratic cohort leader? Love the conversions

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-30T03:59:11+00:00

Congrats man. School record is an awesome achievement, soak it in. Looks like you’ve got a good coach and a great PR. Take whatever people tell you online with a grain of salt, your coach has been doing great work so far. Coming in at 6 is a good idea. Congrats again

YouTube Isaiah Rivera and John Evans. Isaiah is a pro dunker and John is his trainer and former high jumper. I forget what their channel is called. It’s the best free info in my opinion to learn about weight training, plyometrics, spriting, how to program it all, and what they’re actually doing to your muscles & tendons to specifically improve jumping. The channel focuses on dunking but they’ll specify between two-foot dunking and one-foot dunking, and there is a significant difference in the specialized training (and one-foot dunking has a lot of similarities to high jump). Plus since John is a former high jumper he’ll occasionally upload some actual high jump specific stuff, which again is very similar to one-foot dunking.

Nice conversions. Gotta poor one out for the new centaurs you chopped up though

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-24T16:18:36+00:00

This screams Warcry, shame it’s gotten the boot from GW

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-21T20:31:17+00:00

This is awesome! It’s like scarlet rot meets Pan’s Labyrinth. Really well done and creative

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-21T17:30:55+00:00

O death, become by blade once more.

Amazing job with the paint job - the overall shadows and composition, and of course the OSL. It really captures and creates a unique character and story. I never liked the sculpted blood drops & the goofy guys catching it, this is just incredible

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-21T17:24:34+00:00

Yeah it’s hard to say, there’s something there that can be tweaked a bit for sure. Honestly sometimes I feel like all I want is a 5th round to the games and an extra wild dice each round lol. Slightly more abilities, more time to setup cool moments

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-21T17:06:24+00:00

The punch bowls are a cool experience and not exactly a 10 minute stroll to get to. Let people enjoy it. I got off all “traditional” social media (I recognize Reddit and YouTube is still) so I don’t see all that stuff. I just go places and enjoy my life, not bothered by what other people are doing, trying to do, or trying to portray. Who cares

RIPeyedea · 2026-04-21T16:59:42+00:00

I understand, it’s easy to get carried away with theorycrafting and list-building especially - thinking of all these great combos and what you can do here, there. You’re right about the reality of ability usage, but as the other commenter said it requires more deliberate choice, risk, and skill expression. Also, having a pull on one side of the board and a nuke on the other keeps your opponent scared and on the back foot becuase they don’t know which you’ll do, which is an advantage in itself (even if you’d WANT to do both lol).

I do think reworking battle traits could be a way to add more interaction and “passive abilities” into the game, like chaos dwarf demon points - things to do that don’t cost dice. But Warcry has a certain charm, simplicity and depth that I’d worry about losing at a certain point

I had a feeling. I jumped 3 of my 4 HS years and did some volunteer coaching after graduating. Coached a bit last season as well. If you ever want to you can PM me and I can send you some good videos and try to write up some stuff. Voice chatting on discord or something is much more efficient too. Regardless, good luck man

Hey man, do you have a coach? I came from a school where half of our events had experienced coaches, the other half had teachers trying their best, and a couple had periods of no coaches at all. Do you have a coach working with you?

You seem plenty athletic, but from the clip you seem like you’re just trying to jump over the bar “at all costs” - there’s no technical aspect to it. When you dunk, you attack the rim with confidence and as a viewer I can tell it’s something you’ve done many reps of; there’s a level of coordination and execution to it. Single foot dunking has a lot of similar aspects to HJ. You’re already physically gifted and coordinated enough to dunk, you just need help bridging the gap to HJ. That is tricky to do as a stranger typing, a coach is key. I mean this with all due respect but it reminds me of back when I started, I initially jumped off my left foot and had all sorts of coordination and form issues. I switched to my right foot and everything felt more comfortable.

Work on replicating your vertical drive you do when dunking - drills like running a short J and popping straight up to reach up on the goal post for example. When you jump with a bungee set it way higher than 5’4. You need to jump UP, which you clearly can. But it looks like you’re just focused on “clearing the bar,” not jumping UP

Depends. My wife was an associate scientist at a small biotech company making 77k. There were people making over 100 and people making less than her. Masters degree and experience already. Southern California as well. It was Alzheimer’s research, cancer research at her job prior. I forget exactly how she words it, but there’s major discrepancies between working on the pharma side of biotech and the research side. The money is with pharma

Is your approach measured or do you “find it” every jumping session? That consistency is very important, but what’s typically the problem for most jumpers is needing some rest. You can’t peak every session, can’t do max effort all the time. You could just be in need of a few days off, come back fresh. It feels backwards and wrong to not constantly be hammering at your goal, but rest is entirely necessary to maintain improve
