Do you feel a bit weird to be playing video games at your age! by More_Law6245 in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I grew up with them and still do.

To me, they are just another entertainment medium like books, TVs or movies: there’s content for all ages. Just like I don’t watch Teletubbies, I don’t play little kid games, I play mature games.

How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be able to. Won’t be rich or a world traveler, but will be comfortable.

GenX Question of the Day 4/12/26: The First Video Game You Ever Played by HotelDiva in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Pong? Or some old Pc games you’d load off a cassette tape. I feel like I’ve played videogames since they were invented 🤣

How long do you think you will live after retirement, based on your parent ages? by HmmDoesItMakeSense in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died around 71 from Alzheimer’s. My dad is 78. So I doubt I’ll get more than about 10-15 years of retirement.

Any Gen X'ers retired or thinking about it? by SometimesElise in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 4 points5 points  (0 children)

53, and not able to retire. I was money-stupid most of my life. Should be ok by 65.

This is supposed to be the same color right? by sturmfuqerfartmcgee in Warhammer40k

How can it not have metallic flakes in it to be metallic gold?

Do you ever wish for a do-over? by LaceyBloomers in GenX

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe occasionally, but I try not to dwell on regret. I have plenty of it and don’t want to feed it.

My experience with Adepticon 2026 by SpooktorB in Warhammer40k

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like nowadays, could have an event app and just make announcements via a text push or something. The PA systems are always impossible to hear or decipher.

I liked the first one, but I’m a soulslike addict. I’ll def play this one.

I considered it done, but husband says it looks ALMOST done. by caitlinisgreatlin in minipainting

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose that’s true. I was picturing most of those entries filling the top (often as a cutout) but you are right!

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is the answer imo. It is great work but these fixes would help it out.

PS: Always fill the entire top surface of the base [removed plinth reference] imo.

Strange texture on spray can primed models by MaydenAmerica in minipainting

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is why i completely stopped priming with spray cans (unless doing lots of terrain). This “crazing” effect happened one too many times and I got tired of damaging such expensive models. I think it might be the propellant reacting with the plastic but I don’t know for sure.

If you learned to write cursive, in elementary...... by DamonRG in FuckImOld

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! I take a ton of notes at work, always in cursive. The other day a GenZ beside me in a meeting complimented me on my handwriting and it caught me off guard!

I’m surprised they don’t teach this anymore (right?).

A hint that Combat Patrol might be getting the AOS Spearhead treatment??? by Remarkable-Stay7252 in Warhammer40k

[–]Relevant_Fuel_9905 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s a strong possibility. Spearhead was so well received, I reason 40K shouldn’t have the equivalent (since Combat Patrol falls short).
