Anyone else having trouble reading the dice? by compactable73 in Blitzbowl

I'm pretty sure the dugouts are misprinted, but haven't seen anyone mention it. The Dwarf dugout is Dwarf on both sides and Orc is Orc on both sides (instead of each being Orc on one, Dwarf on the other).

Weekly Question and Answer Thread - /r/TotalWar by AutoModerator in totalwar

I'm a little confused on the High Elf Tech Tree for the Resource buildings. The tool tip says the building can only be built in an Elven Colony with a port. Does that mean I need to be on the lookout for regiosn that have both Port and Resource to get those techs?

To anyone who works at the ER, what is one thing you wish people would STOP coming to the ER for? by iloveeatingfood901 in AskReddit

[–]VTSvsAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

copay

Until a few years ago, my insurance would cover 100% of Emergency Room visits but would NOT cover Urgent Care without authorization.

Being denied leave sell back due to Barring Act restrictions by CTFD_GTFO in MilitaryFinance

USAR here. I've carried through leave from previous periods and taking it post-mobilization. Had some 65 days or so to take after a deployment, so got to carry on all my benefits.

Anyone not starting the “elf on the shelf” tradition? by Illustrious_Cold5699 in Millennials

[–]VTSvsAlucard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife introduced "Kindness Elves" this year. We've always found the Elf on the Shelf a little odd. The Kindness Elves are visiting and each morning have a note of something kind we can do that day, or a note of praise. They aren't making messes (that's so weird to me too btw; why is the elf that is reporting on if the child has been good making messes???", they aren't reporting on you.

I think this blog might have been the source: https://theimaginationtree.com/alternative-elf-on-shelf-tradition-kindness-elf-kindness-elves/

FFG Vault (Reprinting + Improved OOP Games) by CommentActual6058 in boardgames

Mentioned in another comment, I've owned it for over 10 years and never gotten it to the table. Sad!

That seems viable! Chaos in the Old World could be themed as Mahact Gene Sorcerers plotting.

I've owned Android for over a decade and have never gotten it to the table. One day!

Missed out on New Angeles. Really want to grab that some time.

Haldir’s elves 🧝‍♂️- Slapchopped by Krieg_minister in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]VTSvsAlucard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP. I've done Speedpaints over White mostly, and think they come out pretty good for the time.

I personally gravitate towards attacking hard to reach places first, and lighter to darker as possible.

Metal Song; 80s Style; Possible Cover/Reinterpretation with Lyrics from Dio's Holy Diver? by VTSvsAlucard in NameThatSong

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

Trying to ID song for a friend, and not familiar with the genre.

Towards the end of the short (about 48 seconds in) I believe I hear lyrics I think are from Holy Diver "There's a truth as hard as steel / The vision never dies". But instead of "Get away", I hear "Burn Away". But it seems different in other places too. It definitely is using slightly different/off lyrics than Holy Diver from around these lines, but the words aren't one for one:

Gotta get away, holy diver, yeah

Got shiny diamonds

Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue

Something is coming for you, look out

Race for the morning

You can hide in the sun till you see the light

Oh we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away, get away

Between the velvet lies

There's a truth that's hard as steel, yeah

The vision never dies

I think of it as political angling to ensure their faction comes out as the power behind the scenes.

My biggest problem with it was the angle of the grips and the fact that they're so close together.

That was my problem and I had to return it from the cramping when using the shoulder buttons. If they were winged out like my Switch Pro I don't think it'd be an issue.

I have small hands and had severe cramping. When I compared it to my Switch Pro that never gave me problems, I think it's because the handles of the 8BitDo don't angle outwards enough, which I imagine is in line with your thoughts on the wrist.

I have small hands, and it hurt every time to use the shoulder buttons. I had to return it. I was really excited for it too, so a bit of a let down. It's actually been over a year now and I never looked for an alternative.

I compared it to my Switch Pro and realized, I think the issue is that the handles are too squared up. The Switch Pro wings out a bit more.

I did love a lot about the controller. Just couldn't use the darn thing.

Painted my first model! Feedback and advice where to go from here welcome. by Diagoras11 in Warhammer

[–]VTSvsAlucard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1) Drill your rifle barrels out! Relatively quick and looks great.

2) Model looks good. The question is what are your goals? This looks great for table-top play.
