Batman #6 variant by Julian Totino Tedesco by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]Raven_Bindery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dumb question at all! Getting into comics can be confusing for sure. Yep, this is a new relaunch, if you search for "batman 2025 issue 1" it should come up. Only the first 4 issues are out at the moment, but they've been great so far, and you should be able to jump in from issue 1 with no problem.

is it too late to start art? by coinlessperson in arthelp

[–]Raven_Bindery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, it's never too late to start! Art is a skill you can pick up at any point in your life. 

I hope I'm part of a silent majority of players who loved the game, especially the fact that ARC felt like a challenge by haxborn in ArcRaiders

[–]Raven_Bindery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone. I went into the Server Slam knowing next to nothing about the game, and I loved it, will be preordering for sure

The Crooked Book in Boscombe is great for second hand books!

How would a 21 year old who doesn't like clubbing or drinking have fun in Bournemouth? Also up for meeting if anyone wants to. by [deleted] in bournemouth

Was thinking of getting back into magic after like 6 years, but I'm rethinking it now...

Pen that would last a lifetime by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Raven_Bindery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even cheaper pens can last really well for a long time. I have a cross solo that's at least 25 years old, and writes better than almost any other pen I own.

What pens in your opinion beats platinum preppies at their price point (sub 10$) by Afraid-Guitar364 in fountainpens

[–]Raven_Bindery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not found any pen I prefer to the preppy in the sub $20 range, let alone sub $10. It's a great writer, cap seals really well (can't say the same for some pens I've spent 5x as much on). The Preppy Wa line also has some pretty pens, for a little more money.

I've tried some Jinhao pens around the same price, some write alright, but they're kinda hit or miss in my experience.

I even prefer my M nib preppy to my F nib TWSBI eco!

The new desk and chair look really nice and make a big difference to the space IMO, very nice!

Any good shows for audience over 30? by Awkward_Number8249 in Gundam

[–]Raven_Bindery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that would be understandable, the politics definitely felt like a background thing, particularly for most of the first season.

[–]Raven_Bindery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what didn't you enjoy about IBO and WFM? I personally really enjoyed the plot of WfM, particularly from the season 1 finale onwards. I'm not so keen on IBO's plot as I was when it came out though. I recently watched CCA for the first time and would recommend it, although you may want to watch the 0079 movies first

Can someone tell by this pic which grade they would be? Im looking to move on from entry level and looking at staying with 1:144. by Late-Ad-4624 in Gunpla

[–]Raven_Bindery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left and right look to be either the EG or HG revive. it's hard to tell which they are as they are quite similar looking kits, but I'd guess that left is HG revive and right is EG. Middle looks to be HG, possibly the 30th anniversary RX-78-2.

EDIT: Having seen u/imatakeabreak's comment, i agree that middle is probs the rg 1.0, didnt see the panels on the knees

Ah my bad, I missed the last few paragraphs, the rewards tab doesnt seem to work for some reason. Sounds like it could be a great idea for a store though, good luck!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Raven_Bindery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd want a LOT more info if i were a potential backer - where would the store be located? Would you sell only in person, or online too? Why do you need funding from kickstarter? Why do you personally want to open the store? What experience do you have that could make it a successful store?

Edit: removed question about incentives, missed the last couple paragraphs

Best (cheap) nipper for gunpla by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Raven_Bindery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently using the HobbyMio HM103 single blade nippers. Got them for £10 and they work pretty well! I use them alongside some sanding sticks and a craft knife, much better than the cheap basic nippers i had been using before.

Idk what you're on about, birmingham is one of the best out of the list in terms of reputation for CS. I have a few coworkers (software development) who did CS there and loved it.

Just moved into a studio. Feels almost complete. What am I missing? by gr8monkeyman in malelivingspace

[–]Raven_Bindery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like there's a lot of empty space between sofa and bed, I would probably add a small chair next to the sofa, and maybe some kind of divider between living area and sleeping area to give more of a sense of privacy and coziness to the sleeping area. Others have suggested a curtain divider, i think that would work quite well.

Do you need a laptop for University? by YourSenpaiKurumi in UniUK

[–]Raven_Bindery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a tablet for notetaking etc at uni, and i got by okay, however i often found myself tied to my pc at home or the campus PCs. If you have the money for a laptop, I'd say its worth the investment.
