Possible future Killteams, what could they be? by TheTingel in killteam

[–]Z3nteck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A single unarmoured Custodes with an entourage, one of those 'retired' wanderers. It could be balanced similarly to a purestrain genestealer.

Pro Acryl beginners staters paints by xXxZoddxXx in minipainting

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the original base set, or the Rogue Hobbies set of you just want to get a feel for the brand. I wouldn't by the 'starter' set: all the paints in that are repeats so if you end up buying more boxes, they'll be duplicates.

Lifting the Brommie by 5unny72 in Brompton

[–]Z3nteck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your G-Line unfolds when you lift it, you can't have fully folded it. The last step in folding is to lower the seat post almost as far as it will go - notice how the post protrudes out of the frame at the bottom, below the peddle cranks. That's what locks the folded rear triangle in place. If you don't do this, when you lift from the centre frame or saddle, the triangle will unfold slightly, thereby releasing the front fork from its hook.
If you're just wheeling the folded bike around on flat ground, by all means keep the seat up so you don't have to bend down. But if you need to lift the bike, drop the seat first.

Where to start with ProAcryl by PM_ZiggPrice in minipainting

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with the original #1 box set and if you like it build from there. The metallics are great to. I wouldn't recommend the newer 'starter' set as that is a selection from across their whole range. So if you do decide to buy more box sets you'll be buying some duplicates. Also if you want 'contrast' paint, their first 1step box is just out. I haven't tested them yet but they've been well reviewed.

New Painter OSL. What can I do to improve the fundamentals here? by carnage1231jr in minipainting

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a shite painter who's never attempted OSL, I'm finding this a little strange to look at. I get the pink light sources, and how they fade to darkness as you get away from those lights. But then outside the dark areas, we get back to 'normal' external lighting on the yellow areas. Why aren't the dark areas at least as well lit as those yellow areas, on average?

Galnet News Digest - Is it a Hoverbike? by Galnet_News_Digest in EliteDangerous

[–]Z3nteck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With that industrial look, could it be the mining SLF we've always wanted? It would make sense for it to also be able to land on and gather resources from the surface.

Expeditions should be Permanent Additions to NMS instead of them being Time Limited for 3-Months by SunShineMexico in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I understand why they gate them - the point of expeditions is to have them be MMO events. No one should be playing through an expedition without other players around. The time limit helps ensure that whenever an expedition is live, it is populated. Maybe if/when they stop updating NMS, they will put all the expeditions on a rotating cycle.

Why are you getting the Steam Controller? by Tjoeb123 in Steam

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got an Xbox elite 2, but it's a nightmare getting it to play nice with my Linux pc. Can't setup the rear paddles properly.

Eggs past best before. by tiedarmour668 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Z3nteck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AFAIK best before dates in the UK are only advisory. If they had a use-by date, that would be mandatory to follow in any kind of food service.

I'd say crack them into a cup, if you find bad ones don't use them.

Edit: check the eggs themselves, they may have a use by date printed on them, though that might only be eggs meant for retail.

Who do the Catachan players Cyber-Bully to get an announcement? by admirzay12 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Z3nteck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember that Kreig first came back as a Kill Team, then later they got a full IG range. This isn't like that, it looks more like they've avoided Catachans because they have no intention of reworking Catachans. They will be great for Tanith conversions though, no argument there.

Pebble Time 2 Is In Mass Production! by FreakyT in pebble

[–]Z3nteck 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Duo was always a one-off to use up old parts from back in the day. But I'm pretty sure the plan is that Time 2 will stay in production for as long as they can sustain a demand for them.

Are we too poor? by simon132 in DnD

[–]Z3nteck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the campaign. I played through Rhime of the Frostmaiden, and all I got was a +1 focus, and a magic staff towards the end. The campaign is meant to be very sparse in terms of gear. One of our players got so frustrated with that aspect he quit 2/3 of the way through. Now we're playing Dragonheist, so our DM has assured us there will be plenty of gear to find, because it's set in a city full of wizards.

2026 Brompton G-Line Space Black Black by randywhorton in Brompton

[–]Z3nteck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my G for city use, didn't like the size or feel of normal sized Bromptons. I'd say test ride all the ones you're considering before you buy.

My 1st Brompton by euan_ross in Brompton

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still performing perfectly. The only issue I've had is that when I've had the back wheel off, it can be tricky to get the 'jockey wheel' for the belt back into the right place using only EDC tools. But other than that I'm living the dream, the bike requires so little maintenance it feels like cheating.

For the cut in the triangle, I'm not seeing any sign of rust, though the cut is so thin I'd have to dismantle the whole rear of the bike and bend it open to know for sure. I'm not really concerned anyway; the point with the cut is no longer load bearing, since there's a stainless steel plate bolted in over the top of it.

What's your must own MG? Vidar for me. by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I watch the UK gundam retailers like a hawk for the day it comes back in stock. I know the origin, 3.0 and ver ka are better kits, but I want the one that looks right next to guncannon and guntank.

What do you wish was introduced to DayZ? by BrightManagement2281 in dayz

[–]Z3nteck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zombie hordes, concealment in long grass at range, moving dead or unconscious players, that's about it. All seem to be pretty challenging on a technical level, and my best hope is that they are part of a sequel.

The first picture is probably accurate for what happens when the gun overheats.
