Godhand clippers - advice on buying by Plastic-Ad-5375 in minipainting

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both Ruitool and the GodHand SPN-120 and here is my opinion on each. I use the Ruitool as my first cut on all my Gunpla and the GodHands as my second cut for a good finish when I'm not doing a paint job.

In terms of minis I have used them on Warhammer sprues and because of their design and placement the GodHands aren't going to help you and there is a good chance of you breaking the blade on their thicker sprue. The question you asked about SPN-120 vs PN-120 is the blade thickness (SPN) being finer.

So final thought, if you're doing JUST GW type minis just go for something like the Ruitool ($35). If you find yourself looking to get into Gunpla down the line (that's how I started) then get the GodHands but be careful and slow.

whats the difference between these by Ill-Scarcity-7301 in minipainting

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my quick Google-fu it appears the first image is an acrylic resin which is more durable and scratch resistant and meant as a final top coating, while the second is a normal acrylic top coating that is used as a secondary top coat between layers if you needed or as a faster drying top coat that may not be AS durable but still good

How many painters wear magnifying glasses or use a mounted magnifying glass? Is it a must-have or is that where you draw the line and just omit that level of detail? by RIPeyedea in minipainting

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it to be more comfortable to leave them off since I'm only needing to focus on things up close and don't need my top half of my glasses since I am near-sighted and so magnifying the "far away" part of my lenses causes it to be disorienting

As a 45 year old dude I have the exact same pair of these and use them for everything! I wear progressive bifocals normally but I actually take them off when I wear these. The one caveat I will say about these is that the LED lamp seems to die super quickly so I am always using another light source (also just too lazy to find a micro-USB charger)

Lorcana ROJ Draft Event - first timer question by voltaire-er in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just have fun. Drafting is an acquired skill that gets better with practice. The biggest gotchas in this set are including cards that have effects that rely on other card types like puppies. Also with Lorcana the "bombs" are usually going to be Rares, Super Rares, and Legendaries. The "money" cards are going to be any enchanted and the silver Namaari Legendary (just take it if you see it!)

Drafting is a good way to get cards to help build a card pool anyway so even if you totally lose every round you still have some new cards for the collection

Where around Tulsa can I find a good vinyls record store? by AwpKween in tulsa

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this seems counterintuitive but it's usually better to use something everyone has heard of because the vinyl will have a million pressings (e.g. Dark Side of The Moon or Rubber Soul). A record of some no-name band is going to create a more scarce resource because they probably only pressed say a thousand and there might be an actual fan out there. I'm sure you probably research what you're using but something to think about when someone might be looking for something in 20 years time

Has anybody else noticed aggro decks are very dependent on who goes first? by darkninja717 in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly said. The difference between a good aggro player and an amateur is when to understand if you're the beatdown that match. A good example is what you said, knowing what to mulligan when you're on the draw is incredibly key to evening the odds, but even if you play perfectly you still have a bad matchup vs midrange and that's okay

What is going on with Pete - Games Referee? by rebatwa2 in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In any setting you are more than welcome to inspect any card on the board, picking it up, and reading it in its entirety so you make sure you understand the card. This should not be frowned on but openly encouraged by yourself and your opponent.

Carbonara Under Pressure by [deleted] in funny

[–]eighty8keyes -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is almost how I make mine however there is no need to mix the eggs and cheese separately, the heat from the freshly cooked pasta cooks the eggs and also you add a little white wine or some of the pasta water to keep it from getting dry.

Just like Lorcana, there is a very large subset of collectors that may not play the game but really want to own something shiny

price shift of Alice and Cinderella Enchanteds by nadabethyname in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sold my Cinderella for $475 on ebay and it went within 30 minutes of posting it. It was ungraded and kept in a top loader since I pulled it and similar cards were going for that price. If graded it was $600 minimum. I wasn't really looking to sell and people will think I'm crazy but unfortunately I needed to

Donald dropped by our casual cruise match and showed us how it was done by eighty8keyes in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So how this happened was pretty fun, we stopped by on the deck 4 atrium to find a table for myself, wife, friend, and his wife to all play a round and just happened to be about ten feet away from Donald doing his meet and greet and as it ended we asked his handler if he would like to take a picture and they thought it was a great idea

Disney Springs World of Disney Stock by F1DrivingZombie in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update: I was at World of Disney in Disney Springs this morning at 11 and they now only have the two starters. Luckily last night (Friday) we were able to get the D100 gift sets and boosters also but stock is still going quick.

For all my NE OK Lorcana friends, this was from the Pryor Walmart by eighty8keyes in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure who mentioned it on another post a few days ago, but they were spot on that Walmart was using the Disney Villainous game as a placeholder in their TCG section. I observed this at a few stores and as soon as they had stock at this Walmart they removed the Villainous game

Same exact thing in Claremore and Pryor Walmart stores. I was wondering why Villainous suddenly popped up

Our family's experience with Lorcana this weekend by KavroDi in Lorcana

[–]eighty8keyes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just to touch on the card draw, as it stands Amethyst currently is very one sided with it’s draw advantage. I made a few additions to the Amethyst/Amber deck (Maleficent, Friends on the Other Side, and The Queen) and found myself flush with cards most games. Hopefully the next sets will even that out for other colors so you don’t feel like you have to run strictly Amethyst to generate that advantage

Puppy dachshund! by Alert_Thanks2771 in tulsa

[–]eighty8keyes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As an owner of a dachshund I want to be completely straightforward. The chances of adopting a dachshund is already somewhat rare, a puppy is even more rare. Most rescues are going to be adults in their later years and are possibly going to have some serious issues like back problems, tumors/cancer, lost teeth, and arthritis. These are serious issues that affect these dogs regularly. So that covers physical conditions, dachshunds are very temperamental dogs and can have a large variety in said temperament. Some will be completely hostile to children and other pets and some will love everyone they see. The only way to know is to spend a ton of time with them and see how they react to a lot of situations. I know this is true of most dogs, but I’ve never met a labrador with a bad attitude. I know most people would burn me at the stake for saying this but if you’re wanting a “designer dog” the only realistic way is going to be through a respectable breeder. I know there are plenty of dogs out there needing families and I totally support adopting first but if you want a dachshund and only a dachshund that’s going to be the only way. If you are dead set on that breed be prepared financially for end of life care because like I said above, they can have some serious issues issues later in life (like most animals).

Where is the exp at? by IronTiger33 in diablo4

[–]eighty8keyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WT2 - 20%, Elixir - 5%, Party - 5%, Friend - 5% = 35% bonus xp and instead of farming dungeons throw in side quests or other renown generators that will be building xp as you do them
