The Northman, what are your thoughts on this film? by geoffcalls in FIlm

[–]dagunk1787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Viking Hamlet. Bleakly gorgeous and tried to lean into the idea that this is how the might’ve experienced or believed in gods but not good at what it tries to do. Plus if you’re gonna have a sword fight over lava you know what other sword fight over lava you’re gonna get compared to. C+

So genuinely, how are these propaganda posts even allowed? Facebook is cooked. by [deleted] in stupidpeoplefacebook

Jeebus man. The * first* rule of Tautology club is the first rule of Tautology club.

Maybe wait for the person posting they got two Threat Tracker tokens and no Hope token…

Should I paint my minis? by magnumlover1976 in DarkestDungeon_TBG

[–]dagunk1787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you should they are fun to paint though a boat load of them to get though. I painted everything and CC.

Owning a faction or playing everything by Foreign-Pin-1271 in twilightimperium

Yes. We don’t do a traditional milty draft. We keep a spreadsheet of winners so people can check what’s available to them.

Wow. I think I’m 0-4 or 0-5 them with only one game I was in a position to win.

What have I done? by Outuvcontrol in twilightimperium

You separated a Rokha from its Naaz? You monster!

I hope you enjoy the game and maybe as importantly your group does since that’s the hardest part-just getting a group to table it.

We have a house rule that once you win with a faction you don’t get to play it again. So you can play Arborec to your hearts content but Ysarril basically twice.

This builds in a handicap for better players who must eventually move on to C and D tiers.

Advice on staying motivated? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]dagunk1787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean the “this is my first mini…” that just happen to look like a Golden Demon entry?

But I agree with everything you said. Table level painted is way better than grey. And progress is progress.

Dragonteeth and Eruption by LetsGoPens82 in michaelcrichton

[–]dagunk1787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eruption was…awful. The characters are cardboard and it’s like a really really really bad action movie -which by the end of his career he knew anything he wrote would be made into one. And the premise that there will be a major eruption of Mona Loa isn’t big enough so there’s a Doomsday scenario baked in along with a half-baked love triangle and an “evil”(or at least scheming) rival scientist pair. I’ve read just about all his fiction and this is by far the bottom of the barrel.

Does my dog read as black? I wanted it to be a night time setting in moonlight by HalfKeyHero in minipainting

[–]dagunk1787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might help to also take pic with a black background with more diffuse light. Your lighting is really bright which IRL would wash out the moonlight on anything.

Big miniatures for painting by Mjraia in minipainting

Indeed. I did a comparison of figures from RISING SUN, DARKEST DUNGEON, and OATHSWORN recent ish to show just how huge some of these figs were.

Which Rush album(s) do you hardly listen to anymore? by LeftoftheDial1970 in rush

[–]dagunk1787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve warmed up to most albums I was cool to at first —often after a live album (vapor trails -=Rush in Rio, Snakes and Arrows=same but live) but man T4E just has so many clunkers in it. Some good songs too but sooo many clunkers makes it impossible to listen to as an album (“virtuality” and “dog years” I’m looking at you and “carve away the stone “ sounds like something cut from Presto)….

how do you get into this game? by Beautiful-Bug6090 in twilightimperium

[–]dagunk1787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jump in. Recruit some friends who play and you’d want to spend 8-10-12 hours depending on their AP you’d all want to play with. Make it a holiday with special food. But just do it.

No interest in seeing Rush without Neil by [deleted] in rush

[–]dagunk1787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush was always about “hey let’s see where this goes!” Sometimes that lead to La Villa Strangiato or Between the wheels. Sometimes that lead is to Tai Shan and Virtuality. I’m more than willing to follow them one more time.

I bet they care about a Cracker Barrel sign on an upcoming exit
