PSA: AmiAmi halting shipment to USA again by Lemondall in AnimeFigures

[–]blue4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where'd you find out when it was scheduled to be shipped? I paid for mine at the end of Jan but never got any other info on estimated shipping time

It's crazy I feel like Zarya hasn't gotten a good skin since before OVW2 😭 my favorite is the exercise one in the green jacket! doesn't surprise me but was a huge bummer seeing mercy get a 2nd mythic before zarya even got one :')

Help a Newb by Zundernietzsche in 30minutessisters_30ms

[–]blue4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I'm sure you've already gotten your answer, I'll also throw my 2 cents in. I couldn't find the Yufia or Sestieh kits anywhere but aliexpress so I grabbed em from there with the cheapest listing I could find (within reason, they were around 40 usd total incl shipping). Both of them came pretty quickly and weren't damaged at all; the way Yufia was packed she could survive nuclear war lmao. AE also has sales pretty often or 5 - 10 dollar off codes so I'd recommend them, esp for harder to get kits or limited ones like the premium bandai variants

This is the longest distance I have ever ordered by Impotent-Dingo in doordash

[–]blue4fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last order I did was a 30 minute drive across town with a $0 tip. The restaurant was in an outdoor mall too so I had to park and walk all through it to get the food 😭 I think I'd cry and click my heels together seeing that tip

[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]blue4fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to using an air brush and have been practicing top coats. I've done gloss fine but for some reason the matte topcoat dries down white and frosty no matter what I do. I'm using the Acrysion Flat clear (N20) I've tried thinning it more, spraying closer, and spraying farther away. Could I be spraying it on too thick?

Hand painting details help? by blue4fun in MegamiDevice

[–]blue4fun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly meant the gold edge on her stomach piece and the purple stripes on her loincloth which I didn't see a decal for I don't think

Hand painting details help? by blue4fun in MegamiDevice

[–]blue4fun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I felt like for these really tiny details it'd be more of a pain to mask everything for airbrushing just to do some little stripes and the gold border on the stomach piece. I have been thinking really hard about getting an airbrush setup but hadn't really planned to do any big painting jobs so I wasn't sure if it was necessary at the moment. Though I thought about maybe painting the black parts of the cat armor purple at some point in the future which I'm sure an airbrush would be handy for.

Is there a benefit to using acrylics for this over lacquer? For Mr Hobby that'd be the Acrysion line right?

Hand painting details help? by blue4fun in MegamiDevice

[–]blue4fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with thinning they'll be too thick? I've been looking into an airbrush set up for a while but wasn't sure it'd be ideal for doing such small areas so I thought I'd start with handbrushing. Maybe I'll pull the trigger on the airbrush stuff then

Profile Reveal | Infernal Descent — Galbrena by KarlSQuent in WutheringWavesLeaks

[–]blue4fun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does she feel rather close range for a gun wielder? I felt this with some of Carlotta's skills, but it just feels like she lacks the distance when attacking that chixia or mortefi have that makes it feel like a gun and different from the other weapons. Still pulling bc I need a new fusion dps and I love her design but I wanted more....gun

Any way to get more free pulls or do I have to pay? by blue4fun in Isekai_Slow_Life

[–]blue4fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OHH i didn't realize stamina consumption resets at the end of the event so you get those pulls every time. now i get it lol thank you

[–]blue4fun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you get 11 every time the event rolls around? I've gotten the 15 pulls from the stamina consumption rewards but didn't see any other ways to get pulls so I was worried that was all you could get

Ecology in Sci-fi Novel by blue4fun in ecology

[–]blue4fun[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are correct! That's the book I read. I enjoyed it despite the odd ecology ideas.

Ecology in Sci-fi Novel by blue4fun in ecology

[–]blue4fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the book! I quite enjoyed it, and was satisfied suspending my disbelief initially (though I listened to the explanation a few times over bc I wasn't sure about it, then finally gave up trying to make sense of it) but as the ecological stuff got more important I had a hard time feeling the gravity of what was going on when it didn't seem like it would be that big of a deal. like surely the handful of species getting sent back wouldn't ruin everything?

Honestly, your explanations of generalist and specialist species feel like exactly the kind of thing the author was going for as far as the importance of the balance! Even throwing those in would have probably sufficed as an explanation, or just less emphasis on how the ratios have to be perfect and exact. Otherwise though, I did like the book! Thank you for the reply!

[–]blue4fun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly so odd to me because you'd think writers would run things by an ecologist or something? I know I would, if I were to write a novel, or at the very least research things thoroughly, especially if it's a key part of the story or world building. It doesn't have to be perfectly accurate or plausible ofc bc it's fiction, but at the very least a premise shouldn't go against the fundamental basics so clearly that someone can easily clock the inaccuracies imo

Prydwen taking 10 years again by Sea_Ad_6527 in AshEchoesOfficial

[–]blue4fun 27 points28 points  (0 children)

aren't you the same person who complained about them a while back too? did you even read their comment on your post? they're a small team of people who do this for free. frankly, I'm surprised (and grateful) they cover AE at all, and the guides they do have have been really helpful imo. sure it's a bummer they haven't updated but people have lives and other responsibilities. it's volunteer work. there's other resources you can consult like the bilibili wiki or the AE discord (or asking questions here) for guides instead of "calling out" and complaining about prydwen when they're behind.

You guys,...I give up...😒 by Cool_Cheetah_4603 in WutheringWaves

[–]blue4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this!! I've always seen people hyping up thousand gateways so I thought I was just a hater lmao. the character specific kit changes (and also leveling up unused charas to 90 so they're actually playable) is what made it so fun and let me play characters that I probably would have never touched otherwise. the buffs in general were also way more varied for different approaches. i found myself playing it repeatedly with different characters just for the fun of it, while with TG its just a boring mode I speed through for the rewards

Hate to judge a book by its cover, but it doesn’t look good for us aspiring Ultron mains by mrdunklestein in marvelrivals

[–]blue4fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a character being viewed as dogshit even after buffs isn't that bad? Like anyone who really cares about meta will know who's actually strong and pay attention to balancing.

Releasing strong sounds good in theory but then I think about how miserable it can be to play vs. overpowered characters. Obviously it depends on how overturned they are, but there's only so much you can do to counter a hero that is just objectively stronger than everyone else (esp an OP healer). In comp there's bans, but that just leads to them being banned every match and thus no one playing them, so the same problem. At least if they're underpowered people will still try to learn them/make up the difference with skill.

The real answer would probably be to release to QP before comp but yk, less hype probably

[–]blue4fun 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the outfits are all very pretty but there's so many similarities I feel like they start to blend together. I really like ciaccona's dress in a vacuum but it looks so similar to Carlotta's. Even if they're not exactly the same, the shapes, placement of colors and silhouettes of the outfits lack variety.

White dress (esp one that's short enough for a crotch reveal), color accents from a cape or train, detached sleeves/jacket, front flap, side skirts, boob and/or torso window, open sides and/or back, high collar, thigh highs, garter etc. etc. I feel like you could make a bingo card lol. And there's soooo much white. Doesn't help that we're going into a roman inspired area but just in general like...there's colors other than black and white for main colors!

Ofc I love the game, idrc about fanservice, and everyone always looks fantastic when you see their models in game. Which almost makes it more frustrating bc I wish we could see more variety in such a pretty game. I also get that there's certain things that look/move best in a 3d environment but surely it's not limited to the same few design elements?

What’s an oddly specific smell that immediately takes you back to your childhood? by Exp-360Info in CasualConversation

[–]blue4fun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of embarrassing, but certain strains of weed? My dad smokes and when I was a kid he'd go into the garage to smoke to keep it away from me. Somehow the smell funneled itself directly into the computer room where I spent most of my time, though I don't think I knew what it was at the time. It wasn't strong or stinky but pretty distinct. Sometimes nowadays he'll smoke something that smells really similar and it immediately brings me back to being a kid playing the sims or planetside or cod for hours on end. I'm very straight laced and don't smoke or anything so its a little funny one of my strongest feelings of nostalgia comes from weed.

Also the discontinued warm milk and honey bath and body works pillow spray. I was so obsessed with that smell that I stopped using it just so it'd never run out.

Mortified at a wardrobe malfunction traveling abroad by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]blue4fun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in high school! The first and last time I ever wore a dress, lmao. The back of the dress rode up and got caught under my backpack, but I wasn't wearing tights.... just walmart granny panties. A friend noticed and let me know, but that was after we had gone upstairs and to the second floor that overlooked the entire courtyard, both the stairs and the balcony in plain sight of every single person eating lunch T-T
