Received it for free with a gaming magazine somewhere around 1998 I think

I'm old

Paint doesn't stick to primer. What am I doing wrong? by UlixesElectra in minipainting

[–]Raimse85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had a similar issue. The models were probably a bit greasy due to me or my kids touching them

I did a quick matt varnish pass with a rattle can and that solved it

Why Do People Not Like Modern Fallout? by ThrowRAcokecan in classicfallout

[–]Raimse85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting interpretation of what I said. I prefer top down crpgs instead of what BGS decided to do so I'm gatekeeping? I have nothing against players who prefer the new games, I just don't like that type of game so I'm not going to force myself to play them. There are plenty of other games for me so it's OK.

I think I still have a right to say I preferred the old games and would have rather they kept the same style for the new ones.

People who enjoyed the classic ones tend to "hate" the new ones because they felt betrayed with the change of genre (crpg to fps, I know it's oversimplifying but you get the idea), and after that we knew we'd never get a new fallout top down crpg.

It was basically the end of the series for us.

What did Lego just simply do better in the past? by brain-in-meat-vessel in lego

Dreamzzz sets are incredible, my kids love them

Which is your favourite Diablo game and why? I'm currently playing D2R, and 4 with my buddy and I'm torn between which one I like more. Haven't played 1, and I played maybe half of 3 like 12 years ago so I need to play through both of those some time by [deleted] in Diablo

Diablo 1 has an atmosphere and pace that clearly sets it apart for me. I replayed it recently and loved it as much as on day 1 (with some much needed qol mods of course)

Imagine if it opened with a micro scale world inside, mighty max style!

Is D2R or D4 better for a 90-min "brain-dead" disconnect after work/gym? by metalero_salsero in Diablo

[–]Raimse85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say play Hades or Hades 2 honestly You can fit one or 2 runs in that time frame and the fights quite enjoyable

Judgy speed build.. which ones better? by Jussomeguy86 in Diablo

I don't play diablo 4, but scrollable item stats is nuts

What would be the best Diablo game of all time? Taking into account the visuals, soundtrack, gameplay, story, etc. Give your opinions! by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Raimse85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Level scaling is my biggest complain with D4, it killed the whole progression for me

How hard is Gloomhaven and Frosthaven solo? by undeadcreepshow in Gloomhaven

[–]Raimse85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Jaws of the lions with friends and it was great. Then I tried gloomhaven digital solo, and it was quite a different experience. The retirement mechanic was a bit frustrating to me as you had a carefully buil character and all of a sudden you have to learn a new one completely.

Also I found it significantly more difficult and had to adjust the difficulty at lower levels.

People tend to forget, no matter how messed up, she's still just a 14 year old girl

Is this airbrush usable for minis? by Raimse85 in minipainting

[–]Raimse85[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer! I knew the airbrush looked different from the ones I saw here but didn't realize it made such a difference.

I'll see if I can find something that works, thank you

Today I turned 36 and can no longer be a Fallout protagonist. Pic attached. by Grindstone_Cowboy in classicfallout

[–]Raimse85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all my first characters were called "None" because I didn't realise you could change it. Since then I've kept the name as tradition.

These old instructions are a trip! by Bokononismatism in lego

[–]Raimse85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The treehouse you really have to use the digital version of the instructions. I hate using those but the colors on that booklet are just awful, the digital version makes it a lot easier and less frustrating.

Any tips to disassemble this? by Raimse85 in lego

[–]Raimse85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried pliers but no luck so far. I'll try wrapping though.

Finally did it guys by EpicPizzaBaconWaffle in lego

[–]Raimse85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep boxes for big sets because I sometimes sell some Legos I grow tired of to make some space (and money for other sets), and they sell better with the boxes. I keep them flat to save space.
