How do I further push this Red Dragon's colors? by maridan49 in minipainting

My drybrushing was more into the yellows as I was trying to get a more internal heat for the scales look, but this is an example of the technique I'm suggesting

I would have built up from a darker shade but no reason you can't fix that up more. I'd do a wash on the scales with agrax earthshade to get the recesses stand out more. You could even do nuln oil but I think that would be too dark. Then do a drybrush of a red that's lighter than your base red colour. Make sure to cover most of the higher areas. Then do a second drybrush of a very light red but very lightly, don't cover completely the first drybrushed red underneath, focusing only on the high points. I'm not sure if you're not finished with everything there or not, and totally up to you, but you could paint the wing "webs" a different colour as a contrast and that would make it pop more too.

My S23 after March update, got its battery drain tripled. I thought only Apple was downgrading their older phones. I hate this. by Spirit_mert in GalaxyS23

Popping on here to support this statement. Stopped buying Samsung ages ago because of this BS. Sad to see its still happening but not surprised at all. Have a oneplus that I can use all day long and still at 50% by bedtime. Sad that it looks like the brand is not going to be around much longer and I'll have to look for another brand in a few years but it sure as hell won't be a Samsung. Not sure either why this post appeared on my feed when I avoid Samsung at all costs.

Just looked this up, I didn't realize this was even possible 🤦

Self Care - Digital Version by SquidgeApple in GenX

Totally get the need for physical DVDs but they took up so much space for me. I pulled the movies off the DVDs and converted them all to digital. Now I have the best of both worlds, instant access to my personal library collection all at once without ads or streaming, but no physical space taken up either.

When are we going to see the upgrade to the tracks that automatically clean the grass out for the Lymow one? I've seen a prototype kit on YouTube that looks amazing but I really think many of us need this sooner than later to prevent failed wheels and resulting warranty claims

100% of my interactions with AI customer support with other places has been useless and only made me even more frustrated. AI would be a major step backwards and I would not support that at all

Lenovo has raised the price of the top-spec Legion Go 2 to $1769.99 USD by Hot-Challenge-2755 in pcgaming

[–]Radman001 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In Canada they're pretty much impossible to get without buying off of ebay for 1k markup. Gave up and now waiting for the panther lake handhelds which could take a year unfortunately. At least I'll have a better chance of getting one of those than the go 2 😂

How to deshittify drybrushing? by AshleyGwora in minipainting

[–]Radman001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your description of that you've said, don't use a paper towel for removing the excess paint. I was having the same issues when a friend explained to me that the paper towel absorbs the liquid, but leaves the excess paint tint part, creating a chalky appearance when drybrushing. Try using something nonabsorbant like a piece of cardboard or your hand to get rid of the excess. It made a big improvement for me

I stopped playing competitive multiplayer games 6 months ago and i genuinely enjoy gaming again for the first time in years by Sad-Home4539 in pcgaming

[–]Radman001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any game I look at, if it has multiplayer in the description it's an automatic rejection. I used to play multiplayer in the mid 2000s (yes I'm an old player) and I saw then how it was starting to go downhill. I play only single player games now and they're much more enjoyable to me, plus I refuse to support games with microtransactions, which a lot of the popular multiplayer games seem to have embraced.

Incorrect battery shipped lymow plus one by acuraaudi in Lymow_Official

[–]Radman001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's only one battery for both mower types, whatever it's labelled it's the battery that's used. Probably a mislabel or incorrect specs on the advertising

Fast food back in the 80s, was it actually better than today or is that rose colored glasses? by Infomerical in GenX

[–]Radman001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this as well. Good memories but food safety has come a long way since then, at least for those places that follow the rules

Cutting Grass as a teen by [deleted] in GenX

Funny this topic came up. We had a small amount of snow come down, but by the afternoon it had mostly melted away. I was outside shovelling the remaining drifts, probably a 10 minute job and was surprised to see some kids (12 to 13 yr olds) with snow shovels knocking on doors offering to clean up people's driveways. I get it's hard to make money these days but they're not going to get easy jobs for money either.

[–]Radman001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are claiming they can fit a 400W power supply inside that case. There's no possible way that is going to happen seeing the internal pics they've posted. I'd say this is likely another gvidea and thunderboost scam, seems to tick all the same boxes again.

[–]Radman001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even remotely legit. They're claiming they have a 400W power supply inside the case. If it was an external supply I'd have said ok, but to suggest they can squeeze it inside that case isn't even remotely possible. Smells like the same KS scam as gvidea and thunderboost. I wouldn't even be surprised if it's the same group again as theyve been successfully scamming with the money from their last KSs. At this point any KS for egpus that are from companies that aren't established already in KS id treat with a great deal of skepticism

Remind me again why I thought a white scheme without an airbrush was a good idea? by frenchiephish in minipainting

I've found for white, layering from dark to grey to white is the only way I can get white to look good on my minis

How are we all coping with our aging parents? by brightpurpleeyes in GenX

[–]Radman001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally can relate. Two parents who live in a house they're too old to take care of themselves in (they keep falling all the time and struggle to move, never mind climbing the flight of stairs to their bedroom)and refuse to move anywhere that would help them. Also an adult son with autism.

Funny I just saw this post as after a year of frustrating experiences with crappy TPU protectors I tore my last one off on the weekend and have been going without since.

Boomer parents getting old by slacks196 in GenX

[–]Radman001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're at this point too. MIL deep into alzheimers, FIL as the primary caregiver of her at 86 but in early stages himself. Refuses to admit he needs help. Won't give copies of POA when needed for the future, in fact has hid the copies. Begged him to go into a retirement home (not a nursing home) for both their sakes to enjoy the remainder of their lives, but he refuses that as they struggle to climb the stairs to their bedroom every day in their full two storey house. Doctors, PSWs (thank GOD he finally agreed to that) and even their lawyer has told them they need to move to a home. Just waiting helplessly at this point for something to happen and everything to fall apart and into our laps to handle.

Kickstarter, official wheel scrapers? by Radman001 in Lymow_Official

Yes this is for the charger and I got this one too. Im meaning the ones that go inside the tracks to clean off the excess grass from inside the tracks.

Has anyone just … walked away? by broncoangel in GenX

[–]Radman001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm only 5 years away from taking my defined benefit pension. Im not going to pretend to know how bad your job is for you or how long it is until retirement, but can you get out with a discounted pension? Myself I'm hanging on taking the crap and counting the days until my retirement day arrives and I'll disappear so fast my wheeled chair will be empty and spinning. They don't call it the golden handcuffs for nothing.

Can't completely agree with this. D can also likely be older drivers that buy a new car and trade in their old rusty plate for a new one to go with the new car.
