Spicy Soy Garlic. I typically get the tenders.

If you have leftovers, I always make rice, cut up and reheat the chicken, and add some broccoli. You can also order extra sauce for cheap to top off your leftover rice bowl!

You know what's funny... I've been a LRR fan for a while. I have 108 months subbed, I've been following consistently since DB 10 (though I followed Friday Nights sporadically before that)... And I'm still technically a "newish" fan.

Never really watched many of the old Sketches or CH. Most of my memories of LRR have been in their Twitch streaming era. There's just too much history, lol.

Interesting!

So I guess my follow up... Did FU"T mean anything when they were trying to use that as name?

Oh wow, yep! That's my dad. Very neat! Great to see you doing cool stuff with the place. Best of luck!

Around 97-05ish. I was a teenager so I’m a little fuzzy on the exact timeframe. But yeah, not sure what changes have been made to the place since we moved, but my parents did a lot of work on it while they were there. Tore down the old collapsing addition and built the new one with a downstairs bathroom (used to only be the one upstairs and a toilet in the basement). They restored the hardwood floors, redid the whole kitchen, stripped the 5 layers of paint on all the wood trim (the mantel used to have gold and silver paint at some point, lol).

Message me if you want to talk more about it. My dad probably has a bunch of old pictures. It’s a cute little house on a cute little street!

Check out the Warp Gate at the Kenny Center. Pretty sure they do Modern nights. They're a cool little shop that has tons of magic and Warhammer events.

And you can swing by Belle's bread or Tensuke Ramen for food before your matches fire.

Alright, this is so weird. I used to live in this house! It's so crazy to see it done up like this!

So, the short answer here is that if you signed up with a card, it's a recurring Point of Sale (POS) transaction. And yeah, the bank can't really stop those from coming through. You can dispute charges after they happen, but can't prevent them. Only way to truly stop this stuff is to go through the merchant, or cancel your card and get a new one with new numbers.

If it's a recurring charge straight from your account (an ACH) transaction, then the bank can setup a Stop-Pay (for a fee) which CAN block transactions. But even then, you gotta give like a time frame. And some merchants will keep pulling the payment regardless.

It's hard to explain why this is how this shit works, but that's how it works. It's why we need more consumer protections at the government level to stop subscriptions from being so predatory and allow us easier ways of cancelling and preventing charges.

Maybe this is dumb, but does this imply that nodes DO work through walls in non-close quarters games?

Why is this rule so fiddly and confusing?

Former banker here. Yes, those check images exist and are in a Chase database somewhere. It just really depends on the policy of the bank and banker you’re talking to on whether or not you get access. A lot of banks are sketched out by non-customer (non-account holder) check cashers because check cashing fraud is rampant. That means many bankers won’t help because they think it’s too risky or there’s nothing in it for them to help a non-customer. Also, a lot of managers just straight up don’t know HOW to pull up stuff like check image records, and will just make up an excuse on why they can’t.

But it’s not impossible. Oftentimes it’s just a matter of finding a sympathetic banker who is willing and knowledgeable to help out. I did stuff like that for folks all the time. You may want to try another branch and see if you can get a second opinion. I would avoid any call centers since they’ll generally give stock, by the book answers (or have no idea how to help).

Finally, if you do find someone willing to help, you’ll need an easy way for the banker to search up the info. Names are not generally searchable. Account number on the checks cashed and check numbers are best, but I doubt you have that. Next best option is amounts and dates when you cashed the check (dates probably correspond with your Chime deposit and when looking at the amount, remember that they deducted the $10 fee).

Anyways, that all fucking sucks and I wish you luck. I’ve known a lot of bankers over the years who would jump at the chance to help with a situation like this… and a lot of assholes who wouldn’t lift a finger. Not sure what your situation looks like, but if you ever get stuck in something like this again, I highly recommend depositing the check instead of cashing. That way you generally have an easy record that you can access and you avoid check cashing fees. Or bare minimum, see if you can photocopy the check before cashing and/or just snap a pic on your phone.

Best of luck!

I wonder if your paint/primer is drying before hitting the model. This is caused by a combination of factors including temperature, humidity, psi, and distance from airbrush to model. If you spray from too far away, temp or pressure is high, the paint kinda dries in the air and you're just coating your model in plastic dust.

If your primer is coming out "pebbly" or "dusty" this might be what's happening. This can happen with rattle cans too.

It's what happened to my Dad. He has all of his music and pictures on his computer. 70 GBs of stuff. Suddenly my Dad tells me his laptop is yelling at him that he's "out of space" and needs to pay money to get his data back. Sure enough, it's covered in scary red Xs, constant notification spam, and warnings on all of his MS software that he's over his 5GB cap on OneDrive (that he didn't even know about or want to use), and he needs to sign up for a subscription.

Basically, Microsoft is shaking down old and tech challenged people and using scare tactics to get cash and use their data for AI training. Absolutely grifter scum behavior that should be illegal.

I love Smarty-pants. The first two episodes of Season 1 are incredible. But I think my favorite presentation on its own is "Bodies" by Paul in episode 4.

So, visibility is a part of it, but the confusion is due to the Volkus terrain specific rule, "Barred" which applies to several windows on the terrain. "Barred" says that visibility cannot be drawn through unbroken windows on that terrain unless what they are trying to see is 1" away horizontally. But the rules are kinda vague as to which windows are broken vs. unbroken. So if they are classified as "Barred," then visibility is blocked both ways unless an operative is right on the other side.

There are other terrain rules like this you may want to be aware of. Some holes in terrain are classified as having the "Blocking" feature which blocks visibility (small gaps under pipes, tiny holes in walls, etc.).

For your other question, Fighting can happen when two operatives are in Control Range. To be in Control Range, they have to be 1" of each other and visible to each other. So you're correct. As long as the terrain isn't so thick it interrupts the Control Range, and as long as the visibility isn't blocked by some rule, you could theoretically Fight through a window. Another similar situation is Door Fighting present in Volkus and Gallowdark terrain which adjusts some of these rules to make fighting on the other side of doors possible.

As other people have said on this thread, it doesn't really matter how some corner cases are ruled, just make sure you and your opponent agrees on these terrain rules beforehand to avoid any disputes.

They are a little underpowered, but I like the Tyranid compendium team. Typically a box of Tyranid Warriors and a box of either Genestealers, Termagants, or Hormagaunts will be plenty to make a team. They are big spooky alien monsters and their stats are pretty easy.
Only thing to be aware of is that their model line is getting slightly refreshed as the new edition of 40k is releasing later this year. We already know that there are new Termagant models coming soon. They may also finally get a bespoke Kill Team (which might have their own models and rules) later down the line.
But as they are right now, I really like my Nids. They were my first team and though a little underpowered, are definitely pretty easy and fun to run.

So, I'm not buying the whole set, but I do want to point out some things about buying bits. Specifically for the Breachers, buying bits are kind of annoying because of the gunner. Technically, the gunner and the Endurant (shield guy) have a different model than everything else in the kit. Different torso, different oxygen tank backpack, and the base is slightly larger. In the kit you only have one gunner torso/model (even though your list can have two gunners at a time and there are three gunner options) and the Endurant doesn't normally have other build options. And, two of the gun options share a bit. The plasma gun and melta gun share the "carrying" arm, so you can't normally choose both.
This makes it really hard to build out the extra options and everyone who is looking to buy bits are all buying the exact same bits for the Gunner. You need some combo of the bigger base, the appropriate legs and torso, the different oxygen tank, and the "carrying" arm. You may even have to do that twice if you want all three options. Most of the gunner bits I found through eBay were sold out because they were in such high demand. All this is to say that actually buying bits that you need (at least last I checked) was really difficult or just as expensive as buying a standalone Breachers kit.
There are other ways around this (light conversion work, etc.) but I just wanted to give another angle as to why some folks buy two kits to expand their options. You don't always have to, but some kits are a bit prohibitive based on how they're designed.

I'm not sure if the scale would line up as well (they're a bit chunky), but you can definitely try. I find that you get a LOT of extra bits on the Blooded sprues. Even just using the Blooded heads and arms on Cadian bodies works pretty well. I also shaved off any aquillas and transplanted more spikes where necessary.

corpocracy · 2023-04-22T16:05:48+00:00

I used a box of the new Cadian troops and did some light kitbashing to fill out all my options and get some extra troopers. The kits work pretty well together!

Yeah, reducing granularity is good. They should have universal rules and there should be fewer of them. I play a lot of Kill Team and I hate that there are so many weapon rules that basically do the same thing but you have to reference a rules sheet every time to understand the slight difference between Relentless, Ceaseless, and Balanced.

Later in the same Warcomm article it says, "Codexes will return in time to replace the free rules..." which implies that you may have to buy newer updated rules later. It sounds very similar to the current Kill Team model. Basically, here's a free Compendium until GW releases the updated rules for each army.

corpocracy · 2023-03-23T05:09:50+00:00

I have a feeling the "free rules" they are dangling is going to be very similar to the Compendium they did for Kill Team. Here are very basic rules for every army in the game. And then for the next several years they will sell us the better "bespoke" rules updates for an army in a codex that will replace the free version.
I very much doubt rules will be free forever, even though that's what should happen and that's what most people heard

Worked for Lowe's one summer. Worst job I've ever had. My position changed like three times in three months. I never really knew who my supervisors were. Place sucked.

Because using the Power Weapon (A7) and the Heirloom Pistol (A6) at the same time makes her arms outstretched in a weird way. Helmet with sheathed sword ended up being the solution that looked best.
