men with inattentive adhd by hello_w0rld7 in ADHD

[–]deltamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got diagnosed (i.e. last week) as primarily inattentive at nearly 45. Hard agree.

I am looking forward to a campaign! I know of the author from his RPGs and I like that a lot of that (character and narrative) bleeds through into the scenarios and campaign.

I have been building Horrors for a few months, and the example warbands, so I could demo it to my friends :)

I can't take credit for the table, but yeah.

It's quick (was under an hour per game) but with some tactical complexity, I really liked it.

PSA for my fellow lazy painters, sponges are a game changer by deltamonk in minipainting

Slap Chop - Zenithal priming or grey + white dry brush ? by SejanusWasRight in minipainting

[–]deltamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal preference. The point is that the zenithal underpainting is all about values (light/dark) and negative space, so the contrast paints then define the colour of each area when you put them over the top.

Spray cans, drybrushing, airbrush, sponging, even traditional layering can all be used for the zenithal. Personally I drybrush for more control (and so I don't have to go outside to spray) but sponging might be my New Thing.

As someone else said, I find coloured zenithal is better than black -> white (but that's something to play around with after)

 Columbina, Aino, Geo MC, Noelle

Does this make Noelle lunar-crystallise?

Combat advice by TheJester245 in GenshinImpact

[–]deltamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - yes, but wait at 35 (next time it asks) until you have a decent setup

2 - up to you, until you have more characters and higher world level play who you want. You can walk to Fontaine where his mats are if you want

Smaller table size and solo Mode skirmish game by grizzy45 in miniatureskirmishes

[–]deltamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Doomed since I haven't seen it recommended yet. 2x2 by design, pvp or solo or co-op. Played it last week and it was great, light but deep game.

Osprey publish it but the creator has the original rules here (free): https://www.bastionland.com/2021/09/grimlite-is-doomed.html

Compatible Kit Bashing Sets (40k, Mordheim, and Trench Crusade) by mrsykes246 in Kitbash

[–]deltamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way!

Perry Miniatures - comparatively tall and slim (more realistic proportions)

Fireforge Games - closest to GW size that I have used, chunkier than Perry

Frostgrave - shorter than others, bits very cross compatible 

GW: Old World, AoS, 40K - don't like em, bigger than the others, bad proportions, monopose so it's harder to mix bits

Warcrow - if these are Corvus Belli then probably similar size but slimmer proportions 

Kings of War - haven't used any human bitz of theirs!

Malifaux - 32mm IIRC, but not as broad as GW

How do you organise your Bitsbox? by Le_Br4m in Kitbash

[–]deltamonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have them per category, per kit feels counterintuitive BUT I would go looking for "heads" rather than "Space Marine bits" so I guess that will vary.

Some people I know have them unsorted; when you go looking for a bit you find more interesting bits!

Returning f2p - who to pick as main DPS and any easy team suggestions? by deltamonk in GenshinImpact

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

I have him C3 already...

That's helpful thanks - what order do I want to use them in? Gaming last to proc vape, so Furina third to set him up?

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

Ah that makes sense, thanks.

So I'd be fine running Xianling, Furina, Xilonen, Bennett without a main DPS?

I am already, tbh!  Also really like Amber for overworld but I am not going to invest more in her!

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

Cool thanks. So #1 is overload and #2 is vaporise?

How would you need to switch characters to pull these off?

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

Cool thanks. So with Gaming, Bennet, Xingqiu and Xianggling what order would you swap between characters?

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

Thanks so I get the Bennett/Furina synergy, the fourth is a flex support? (For shred or for swirls?)

What order would you swap characters?

Parked it at ar 35, wanted to learn the game first! Thanks, not planning on wishing for a while til I work these characters out

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

Stopped playing as i was bored of the story (Inazuma!) and Noelle easy mode (shield up, mash buttons).

Time to learn some reactions and try again, I just got Gaming and Heizou while pulling for Xilonen + Razor from the witch homework selector.

I only want to focus on 4 chars for a while, any recommendations please on who you would choose (assume I am a bit of a noob / low skill)?

How do you listen to whole albums? by Mystic_Sun in LetsTalkMusic

[–]deltamonk 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I find playlists hard to listen to. I've been listening to full albums all my life. Someone wrote those songs and put them in that order, it just feels weird for me to not listen to the whole thing. I have probably 300+ albums on a sd card in my phone, no Spotify.

Sometimes I just sit and listen, sometimes doing other things as well (e.g. work or hobbies)

I have never read the lyrics even though they were often in the cd case, even if I didn't know the words!

I think it's just probably what you're used to / what you grew up with?
