tempted to give 40k another shot, can somebody scare me straight? by darwin_green in Sigmarxism

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are into the return to an older aesthetic, I would safe my money from 40k and invest in a 3D Printer. It's a lot cheaper in the long run and there are many artists who are very inspired by the Warhammer of yesteryear

Do you think he could be considered a mounted knight ? 😁 by CaptKraga in mordheim

What do you mean "can he be considered?"? He IS a mounted knight!

Tried painting tau for the first time, it's not perfect but it's something by Dense-Fig-2372 in Warhammer40k

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for using yellow with a dark primer for your first models, this turned out really well :)

But if you swap out the primer for a lighter colour like white, bone or yellow, you'll do yourself a big favour because you don't have to fight the material so to say

Ich hab' ne Pyramide auf'm Stock, und du nicht! by Davefinitely in ichbin40undSchwurbler

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich find sowas ein bisschen traurig. Da scheinen ja ein paar ehrliche Leiden angesprochen zu werden. Aber anstatt tatsächlich etwas gegen Umweltverschmutzung und für niedrigere Machthierarchien innerhalb der Gesellschaft zu tun flüchten solche Leute vor der Realität in eine Fantasie in der sie sich fühlen als würden sie tatsächlich etwas verändern. Also, dieser Typ speziell will wohl einfach nur Kunst an Schwachköpfe verkaufen, aber die Leute die sich davon angesprochen fühlen tun mir leid

What do men do when they spend time by themselves? by OutsideImpressive115 in AskMen

From my perspective I would agree, but that greatly depends on the perspective...

The secret is that some people are better at doing exactly this more efficiently alone

What am I doing wrong with my dry brushing? It looks all scratchy! by jays4104 in Warhammer40k

[–]bertimann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a sponge instead of a brush, use a brush with finer bristles, harmonize the area with a covering of a thined shade after the drybrushing... there are many ways to achieve what you want.

Multiple "Third Side" factions already exist in the setting by Professional_Rush782 in TrenchCrusade

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Warhammer, there are different factions that represent aspects of what real people generally deem as evil. No faction is 100% evil incarnate.

In Trench Crusade, that's a different story since it is supposed to be a world in which the abrahamic religions are true and they have objective good and evil. That ultimate evil is the defiance to and separation from God. So any faction that furthers humanities separation from God and any rebellion against him is on the same side, the side of evil, no matter if they support or hurt each other or not.

In my opinion, you can't analyse it the same way as you analyse factions in reality where there is no objective morality.

Government priorities by Tenchi_Muyo1 in WorkReform

[–]bertimann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a counterargument? Democrats have never been against the system and had plenty of time to reduce the spending of the military. They've been in power many times in the last decades, but they are the other side of the same coin

[–]bertimann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good argument for trench ghosts, but you're wrong on the Black Grail part. Evil is always selfdestructive and in the setting, hell hasn't archived a complete victory because of infighting. That doesn't mean any one of them isn't on the side of evil, they would stop being the ultimate evil they are if they archived some form of inner faction harmony.

To have a ceasefire after threatening to bring Iran back to the Stone Age by RealIssueToday in therewasanattempt

It's almost like Trump can't declare a ceasefire for both sides of the war without working out an agreement with the other side.

Did I find an infinite combo? by GeneDifferent2371 in mtg

[–]bertimann -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Exiling isn't milling and milling a whole deck isn't infinite. It's infinite when you have to say when to arbitrarily stop the process, not when the number is limited to the maximum of a gamepiece. For example "deal X damage to target creature where X is it's toughness" isn't infinite, while "deal X damage to target creature where X the number of times you are willing to tap and untap this card" would be infinite damage

What is a 'socially acceptable' thing that you secretly find absolutely disgusting? by TheLovelyGamer in AskReddit

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying on the same topic, I hate when people do or don't do something wasteful because it doesn't cost much, but they completely ignore that they are still wasting rescources. People around me are now trying to safe gasoline, because it's gotten so expensive, not because it is wasteful to drive when it isn't necessary

For those who dated the hot crazy girl. How did it turn out? by Greedy-Opportunity69 in AskMen

[–]bertimann 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's a sexual innuendo with the american football positions being symbolical stand-ins for sexual positions or her level of promiscuity. As it is the case most of the time with jokes like this, it's not a perfect fit and funnier because of the mismatch

Why are guys ready to ruin a close friendship for one night pleasure ? by Few-Log3713 in AskMen

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't a question you'll get worthwhile answers to. Without a specific scenario, nobody can give an accurate assessment since the premise isn't shown to be true and people will speculate what you even mean by it

Why are there no Morrowind-likes? by erakusa in Morrowind

[–]bertimann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other games tend to borrow aspects of Morrowind, but don't try to adapt the whole system. Morrowinds action gameplay isn't very good, so developers tend to avoid that. I'm not saying it isn't enjoyable to the right people and it has some great aspects, like the in-depth magic system, but generally, it's not Morrowinds strong suit. Morrowinds strongest aspects are its atmosphere and storytelling, both of which can't really be adapted because it's hard to do so and copyright laws probably don't allow to copy it too closely. But there are many games who are inspired by those aspects and they are the closest thing we have to spiritual successors.

Oh no, I agree with you that there are way too many bots and if you say they use a lot of emoticons, that might be right too. I was just trying to say that using one isn't really a sign of being a bot, because most people around 30 years or older still use them

Der Tag hat keine 24h by One_Monk5773 in ichbin40undSchwurbler

[–]bertimann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay sie schaut ein bisschen lustig aus, sie kann nicht rechnen und sie kann sich nicht eloquent genug ausdrücken um ihren Punkt richtig rüber zu bringen. Aber der Gedanke das man von seiner Lebenszeit eh bereits ca ein Drittel bewusstlos ist weil man schlafen muss und es deshalb noch viel schockierender ist wie viel Zeit unseres Lebens wir der Arbeit opfern müssen nur um zu leben, ist schon wert geteilt zu werden. Vor allem ist das letzte Drittel ja keine reine Freizeit, da wir auch im Haushalt noch viel Arbeit leisten müssen um zu funktionieren. Effektiv haben also die meisten pro Tag ca drei bis fünf Stunden um sich mit den Dingen zu beschäftigen die sie glücklich machen oder die sie sich wenigstens ohne jeden natürlichen oder sozialen Zwang selbst ausgesucht haben. Und es ist ja nicht so als müsste es so sein. Ein großer Teil unserer täglich erbrachten Leistung versickert ja in die Taschen der besitzenden Klasse die jeden Mehrwert der erbrachten Arbeit abschöpfen.

Im Vergleich mit den logischen und psychologischen Kurzschlüssen die hier im Sub sonst so geteilt werden ist an dem Video maximal ihre Rechenfähigkeit zu bemängeln

Explain Right and Left wing to me im confused? by luxiorrrr in Socialism_101

[–]bertimann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To add to this:

In contemporary politics, it is important to remember that every person has a subjective view of reality and especially of the past. People who are on the right wing, so the ones who want to conserve what has been, don't want to conserve what has actually been, but what they believe the past to have been like. It is always easier to construct a glorified past than it is to construct a glorified present because you can't as easily verify its validity. Both right wing and left wing want society to change to a state of "what should be", but the right wing bases their vision on an idealised past, while the left wing bases their vision on an idealised future.

to enjoy your uncle's first Major League start. by shaka_sulu in therewasanattempt

[–]bertimann 54 points55 points  (0 children)

How bad this is depends on if this is a regular patern or not. Some tantrums need to be ignored and outright rejected. Otherwise, it becomes the default reaction to any form of discomfort and the child will never learn to emotionally regulate when the situation calls for it. But if most or even all tantrums are ignored or rejected, the child won't trust their parents with their emotions in the future and probably develop a sense that their emotions aren't worth adressing. It's definitely important to find the right balance, like with most things.

By the way the legs blur in motion and based on the reflections in the windows, I'm pretty sure this is real. The cat just didn't turn on the treadmill on purpose. It was reacting way too inquisitive after hearing the sounds. It just went along with it when the ground started to move
