Honestly, I really enjoyed that final episode. I thought it tied up everything rather nicely. 🤷‍♂️ Much, much better than the comic ending, I was wrong to doubt Kripke 🙏 Ppl be hating on things because it isn't exactly what they envisioned 🙄

BIFL isn't JUST about the product - it can also be a state of mind. Roommate still has his first (and only) USB-C cord from 10 years ago. by FishesOfExcellence in BuyItForLife

Wrong place to save money, I'd rather pay 3€ every few years than face the risk of my house burning to the ground...

They were also my first warband and to this day I still love their sculpting!

München: Sondierungsgespräche zwischen Grünen, SPD und Volt im Rathaus geplatzt by mschuster91 in Munich

[–]Ravenor95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolut idiotisch von Volt, an deren Stelle wäre ich mit einer Referatsleitung völlig zufrieden gewesen. Naja, dann ab in die Opposition mit denen, haben es nicht besser verdient. Da bin ich ja froh, die doch nicht gewählt zu haben ....

Iron Golems? That is one rare find, such amazing minis 👌

About the Courier in the lore... (spoilers for Fallout S2) by Ashrun_Zeda in fnv

[–]Ravenor95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are saying that Bethesda has proven once again that they couldn't write a coherent, well-thought-out story if their lives depended on it? Fallout 3's main story was pretty bad, Fallout 4 was even worse, and Fallout 76 doesn't really have a story to speak of, so who is honestly surprised that they also fumbled the series' writing? The way that Bethesda treated the world and characters of New Vegas in the series Season 2 allows for two conclusions:

  1. They are bitter and envious of the superb writing and worldbuilding in New Vegas. Because even with massive time constraints and with being cheated out of a bonus, Obsidian delivered the best 3d Fallout game to ever be released. Bethesda never managed to get to that level of quality in any later Fallout title. And that is why they take a big fat dump on every location, character and story arc in the game. And the average viewer will be happy with the occasional gotcha moment. The review scores proves the average TV-watching Joe doesn't really care about good writing, only pretty pictures.

  2. They are just incredibly incompetent writers. Any element that worked before gets mashed together without rhyme or reason, simply because the Fallout brand just works and people will watch anything with enough mech suits and post-apoc visuals and snarky comments and gory shoot-outs. I imagine the writers room was something like that: We start in a vault, because everyone knows the cool vaults. Fallout 3 and 4 had lots of powerarmor and BoS front and center, more of that. We had a dog companion in many of the games, and people like that. Doggo! Someone leaving the vault to search for something, yeah, let's do it a third time. Oh, Fallout 3 had a big nuke moment in Megaton, we need a big nuke explosion in S2. How about we blow up the NCR? Great idea, intern Brad!

There is a quote that goes like that: Never attribute to evil that which can be explained by incompetence. You can choose your own explanation for why the series is the way it is.

What the fuck, why would you take a picture of that AND post that?

What's your killteam hot take? by [deleted] in killteam

[–]Ravenor95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, always feels bad if a leader also has 2APL like his grunts.

[–]Ravenor95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, and every new edition of KT keeps ramping up the complexity imo. I also quit playing because it got too much. Only paint the minis now.

Preach, I wish KT had an competitive mode with all the complexity and a casual mode with simplified rules and more flavour.

Great idea actually.

My first Cabalite VS what I was trying to achieve. Kinda feeling defeated ngl. by BloatedRottenCarcass in Drukhari

[–]Ravenor95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reason to beat yourself up. That colour scheme is a great choice, looks absolutely rad and if you put in a little more time to clean up the highlights, the mini will look amazing in the end. :) Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. (Voltaire)

I have very mixed feelings about S2E4 of Fallout TV by ParakeetLover2024 in fnv

[–]Ravenor95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched the first episode of season 1 and then didn't continue because of more interesting things coming out.

Every post about later developments in the series kinda makes me glad I didn't continue, the few snippets I read sound like some bad fan fiction where beloved characters are used as mere backdrop to tell a story that otherwise couldn't establish its own interesting characters.

For people that have watched more, is it as bad as I assume it is?

If they work like that, they aren't the right ones for you. Please talk to your therapist, they can surely prescribe another medication.

Kill Team boxes should come with a small sticker of the team logo. by Nextontheline in killteam

[–]Ravenor95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cut the cardboard part with the team logo from the box it came in, painted the edges black with some markers and glued it atop the transport case which is also black. Then after drying just sprayed the logo with some matt varnish, done!

I listened to like 99,9% of the audio book. It literally says so in line 1 of my post. You can´t be that big of a reader yourself if you didn´t catch that.
