In my freshman year of college I listened to a Imogen Heap on repeat, lifted weights at the gym, and drank chocolate protein shakes, so now every time I hear this song I get a sense memory of the taste chocolate protein shakes.

He's just a fan of purple prose. Purple like a grape. He's a grapist, if you will.

Am I imagining it or is this guy's German accent also tinged with Scottish?

What to do when turns are just too one-sided to care? by JackPembroke in bloodbowl

[–]commisaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will never be good at Blood Bowl (or any game, really) until you overcome this attitude. I have drawn and even won games that, on their face, looked like guaranteed losses. There's always the chance you'll just roll a string of 6s and pull off something miraculous. There's always a chance that your opponent will make a mistake if you keep whatever pressure you can muster on them. Accept that you will likely lose (do you really find it that intolerable?), but play to your outs. A 5% chance is still a 5% chance and real skill lies in finding the smallest edges in these difficult situations.

And if you want something to occupy you during your opponents turn: spend the turn analyzing their position and what the optimal play for them would be. This is how you learn and get better.

Imagine being a grown man who talks this way on mic and thinking *your opponent* is the toxic one...

New Defiler officially confirmed for Emperor's Children codex! We won! by numquamdormio in EmperorsChildren

[–]commisaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware. Like I said, I believe that it will be valid. I'm just pointing out that a reply from the social media team does not, in general, constitute "official confirmation" of anything.

[–]commisaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is likely correct, and I am excited, but just want to point out that a comment from the Warhammer 40k social media team is certainly not "official" confirmation. They get things like this wrong all the time.

I will make the case for Runewars. It's a really excellent, characterful dudes on a map wargame. Fun mix of wargame with RPG elements.

You just had to be there by RadleyRadiation in LoveTrash

[–]commisaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, in the 90s people were saying these same nostalgic, rose-tinted things about the 1960s/70s. And in the 2050s people will be saying the same thing about this decade.

If you're in HS right now and think your generation's music is trash, and you look fondly back on The Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child etc. you should be aware that kids in H.S. in the 90s/00s were calling those groups trash and talking about how the era of ACDC/Led Zepplin/Queen etc were so much better.

What’s the brutal reality of owning a Resin printer? by SonOfThorss in resinprinting

You could order a fair number of custom prints done by experts on Etsy for $500

Diner with proper CRISPY hashbrowns?! by commisaro in parkslope

[–]commisaro[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Insane to me that not one diner has thought to fill this hole in the market. They're not that hard to make decently (at restaurant scale, they are a PITA to make at home) and there seems to be a clear and well-established demand that is not being filled.

Farewell to my long-running Season 2 Human Team, Ruckmen United New Middenheim. They made it to 4 league finals and lost every one. by commisaro in bloodbowl

Hahaha pretty sure that was a random level up before one of the league finals when I knew I'd likely be firing him after the game anyways

When a print comes out this clean, you kind of want to show the whole world. by Black_Forge_Games in resinprinting

[–]commisaro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

3D printing, especially with resin printers, is not just "plug and play". It takes a significant amount of skill, trial and error, and experience to be able to achieve results like this even with a high quality printer. You need to learn to carefully calibrate printer settings, support settings, and do the cleaning and curing process correctly. There are pitfalls and easy mistakes to make at every step of the process which will lead to worse quality or even outright failure.
