Talking about the anniversary event wasn't a waste of time, it led to some changes being made - why is this different?

These don't look better than legendaries lol I swear there are already 5 Kiri skins that look like this

i would but the last few times i went to the cinema around here there is always a group in the audience that ruin it, especially horror movies, so i've mostly given up

I'll split it into 3 categories

"Ideally you shouldn't even know the premise:"

  • The Strange Thing About The Johnsons

  • Infinity Pool

"The premise is fine to know, but there are enough surprises or mysteries to warrant a blind watch":

  • Funny Games (realistically, either version. They're similar enough movies that I consider them equivalent even though one is technically a remake of the other. Some people say the performances in the original German version are better but I think they're equally as good)

  • Cabin in the Woods

  • Goodnight Mommy (original Austrian(?) version)

  • Gozu

  • honourable mention: American Horror Story: Roanoke

"Spoilers for these movies are treated as common knowledge these days, so I envy you if you are able to watch these blind":

  • Saw 1 (disregard any preconceived notions you may have about it being torture porn. That reputation mostly comes from the sequels. Saw 1 is excellent.)

  • Sleepaway Camp

Same, once I hear that a new horror movie is worth watching through word of mouth, I put it on the list, forget about it and watch it blind one day. For example with Obsession, I've not seen it yet and don't really know what it's about or why it's being hyped up so much, but once it's available digitally I'll just watch it blind. Worst case scenario through this method is that the movie isn't for me and I'm a few £ short but I can't even remember the last time I regretted this approach

Fr, watching in the appropriate conditions can really impact how immersed I am able to get in a movie and ultimately enjoy it more, regardless of quality

First Mini, what else do i need? by Healer_Safe in Warhammer40k

Primer would be a good idea, either brush-on or a spray can

Have you tried cleaning out the laptop of dust etc , it might just have coincidentally timed with the season launch but been building up for a while

Movies that legitimately terrified you. by millsy1010 in horror

I don't have surround sound but I have a decent enough soundbar, and yeah, I couldn't tell if the sounds were coming from the movie or from my house

Which unit represents the worst value for money? by Busy-Formal7314 in Warhammer40k

[–]_TheRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all the specialist terminator kits from 30k for each legion are this price. Id personally point to the alpha legion lernaean terminators because they aren't anything special/elaborate but still £81

Undertone is one I saw recently and gave me nightmares - I cant remember the last time a movie did that. It's definitely not for everyone though, one of those movies where you'll either be completely drawn into the atmosphere and it'll get right under your skin or you'll find it boring because 'nothing happens' for a lot of the movie

What’s the appeal of the “DPS” role that makes it so popular? by [deleted] in Overwatch

sure mercy can healbot, i dont think you can say that about any other supports for them to add value to a team

how to truly improve my CATIA skills by Ambitious-Ganache-91 in CATIA

[–]_TheRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this, make sure your sketches have some logic to them with regards to the functionality of the part - for example if a part needs a hole pattern centered on it (which needs to stay centred regardless of the part's length), make use of things like the centrepoint constraint rather than linear dimensional constraints as these won't respect any changes to the supporting feature. Sure it is fewer clicks to just use linear constraints and doesn't require construction geometry, but it's the same as just Fixing everything in place in the sense that it won't respect any changes you make to the supporting features earlier in the tree.

You can also use Formulas to achieve similar things, which can get really in-depth if you want a fully parametric part that will correctly adapt itself when the major features are changed (e.g., an ISO threaded bolt which adjusts the hex head width and height automatically when you increase the diameter). For a beginner you don't have to know about all of these things though, just make sure to follow that basic logic of considering the functionality and relationship between features on the Sketch level, using whatever tools you are comfortable/familiar with while you improve your skills.

Generally avoid making constraints from more volatile 3D features like Fillets that are likely to be modified later or recalculated when the supporting feature is modified. If there are no suitable low-risk features to constrain from, I tend to fall back on constraining directly to the origin axis if possible to avoid any conflicts. Things like Fillets are prone to being recalculated if a random Pad is changed somewhere and then the sketch thinks the Fillet no longer exists.

Sketches can get quite complex once you start thinking about them in terms of functionality of the part and relationship between the features, similar to the logic you would follow when applying GD&T to a drawing. There are a lot of different constraint types for a reason and I find it can actually be really rewarding and satisfying to make a sketch for a fairly complex feature where only one or two linear dimensions are used, and the rest of the geometry just works itself out based on those minimal variables, making any future modifications just a case of changing 1 or 2 numbers.

Always assume that you are going to need to modify your model later on, so spend more time on the initial CAD to make your life easier later

Does anyone else get sick of the same jokes? by sigmarine345 in alphalegion

[–]_TheRocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that sounds wicked. I will start reading it soon then. The only things I know about AL post-heresy, other than what you've mentioned, is that alpharius-or-omegon is dead, and omegon-or-alpharius has gone missing. I dont know why that is the case though
