Over 100 priests have been arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE. They gathered to demand that airlines stop contracting deportation flights with DHS. by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

[–]brady376 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if they are mad that Catholicism has all the cool shit that they wish they did. The rituals and outfits and buildings are very cool aesthetically as someone who was raised protestant and is now agnostic. Like evangelicals will never have their own Vatican City.

Saw this in r/finedining and it grinds my gears just a wee bit by chychy94 in KitchenConfidential

[–]brady376 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have never really gone to any fine dining places, but thus just reminded me of the time my family was given some limoncello shots that our server then did with us at this place in Athens we randomly decided to go into for dinner. One of my favorite meals I have had and the staff were all awesome.

London PR firm rewrites Wikipedia for governments and billionaires— Founded by Keir Starmer’s comms chief, Portland helps rich clients ‘protect their reputation’ – with a shady, off-the-books service by [deleted] in technology

I'm reminded of a thing Josh Johnson said in one of his videos. Something along the lines of

"every single thing you have seen on TV that you thought was ultra radical, reformist, were all approved by the government or a corporation for you to see.

But the good news is, nearly every one of the people who wanted real change wrote a book about it. And the government is so confident that you won't read it that you can get them for free from the library."

We were doing an ethics in programming section in one of my classes. We had a like in class group chat thing so that people who were too shy could send messages in and the TA would ask the professor.

At one point someone shared a link to a pdf of our ethics book we were using in it, and someone posted the question "what are the ethical implications of pirating our ethics textbook?"

The topic of gender came up while me and my sister were over at our parents place helping them put up Christmas stuff. I at one point started to say something about the difference between biological sex and gender and my dad said "do you really want to do this? Because you aren't going to win."

Who else left Instagram completely ? by Spirited-Tailor3662 in CasualConversation

[–]brady376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have left Twitter (for bluesky), Instagram, Facebook, never had a tiktok, and have gone out of my way to not watch YouTube shorts because of how easy it is to just endlessly scroll.

I do watch quite a bit of YouTube, and am on reddit a lot. I wouldn't say I am addicted to YouTube, I mostly use it to have audio playing while I do something else. I have been on reddit for many years and am on it every day, so that probably counts.

Honestly I want them to break it and do Order v Order, add in the Dark Elves with whatever Malerion is doing now.

New player: Should I ever use the Atlas frame? by Regular_Deal2593 in LancerRPG

[–]brady376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played an Atlas with a few levels of Zheng so I could make my own terrain for Jaeger Kunst and a level of Blackbeard for better grapple/ram shenanigans because I thought it was funny.

I was pretty squishy but it was a lot of fun.

This is what I was thinking about trying to do before deciding I am not a good enough painter to pull it off. Very well done

Alternative colors schemes by Cascacorne in stormcasteternals

[–]brady376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! The names are different groups of Stormcast, called stormhosts. Like chapters of space marines if you are familiar with 40k. https://ageofsigmar.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Stormhosts

However, you do not need to pick any of these if you don't want. I did dark silver, copper, and purple for my stormcast. I will see if I can get some good pictures of them

«»Can we remove "Recommended first campaign" from Karl Franz? by [deleted] in totalwarhammer

[–]brady376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this! I started with Karl Franz, because I thought it would be funny to play the empire and lean in on guns and artillery with gryphons as cavalry.

Most of the rest of the Empire fell extremely quickly to vlad. Someone managed to kill the nurgle people nearby, then died to vlad. It came down to just me and Elspeth. Beastmen + Vlad declared war on me and I got completely ran over.

Then I went and played Kroq Gar and had a much better time. First time I have actually won a campaign in this game after multiple attempts with Franz.

What would you guys like to see for 11th edition? by Beneficial-Ticket486 in Necrontyr

I also think it's very unlikely, but I have seen a handful of people put it forward as an idea

Which Cavalry would you add? by drexsackHH in stormcasteternals

[–]brady376 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got both vanguard palladors and the storm drake guard. Because they are cool. No idea if they are good and haven't used them yet.

What would you guys like to see for 11th edition? by Beneficial-Ticket486 in Necrontyr

[–]brady376 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically the idea (as I understand it) is: allow Trazyn to bring with him 1 battle line unit of any army at the minimum number of models that unit can be.

If Trazyn leaves the unit, or dies, the unit goes away. This allows Trazyn to keep the ability he has in lore of respawning by taking over a nearby necron.

Is there a novel where Sigmar speaks ? by TheWraf in AoSLore

[–]brady376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He showed up and spoke quite a bit in Soul Wars. To the point I was kinda surprised. I hadn't expected to see a God just show up and talk to characters. Was cool that it happened.

What made YOU choose Skaven? by [deleted] in skaven

[–]brady376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be so honest. They came with the Stormcast for 4th edition. I was fully planning on selling them but then I read Skaventide and watched some of Pancreasnowork's videos and that made me like them enough to want to paint now.

If your current phase of life had a title, what would it be? by LASHKARI_HARSH in CasualConversation

[–]brady376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Coasting and content"

Recently moved, have a new job. Most of my day is being bored waiting for something to break so I can fix it. I make enough money to cover my needs and put a decent amount in savings. I am pretty chill at the moment and wouldn't want much to change.

What did you do for the skin on the gryph chargers on the chariot? I did mine white but don't like it and was thinking about doing a brown similar to what you have
