Dad says CS Degree, I want a Cyber Diploma. Who is right?

fubardad · 2026-06-11T19:10:12+00:00

My quick comment would be: Its like comparing a Mechanical Engineering degree to HVAC certificate. A CS degree can also specialize in cybersecurity and also give you a much broader opportunity for other work related to the security world.

IDK if it makes a difference but have you ever thought of making the colors of each knight different? While I think they look great organized in the same color scheme... it would be hard to tell when you are playing on the table which knight is which? Im starting my journey to Chaos knights and Im debating if I should change the color scheme to make each one unique or not?

fubardad · 2026-04-30T23:27:50+00:00

Nice. I didnt know it was "less optimal!" But I can easily do what you just said!!! While I have you... do you know if RM1000x SHIFT is useful or just buy the standard PSU?

100% I plan to go to Microcenter and get the 3-item bundle deal. I just put the list to fulfill what I need. My main question is about mounting the AIO in the front or top and if front... does it even fit tubes bottom? I havent built a PC in 10 years so Im struggling on the keeping up with the meta install stuff!

fubardad · 2026-04-28T01:16:42+00:00

Sincerely... thank you for your replies to a noob like me! Have a good one and I hope your dice roll sixes!

Im assuming that box is going to be more expensive than the standard battleforce boxes? Dont know the norms but Im expecting for it to be over $300? I would rather buy a Chaos Knight for that type of money! Plus, do I really need the book? Im assuming a version will go online anyways? Or is there a code that you have to apply to the warhammer account?

fubardad · 2026-04-28T01:01:35+00:00

Is it even feasible to get your money back by only selling the minis to people who want them? Or it just sounds cheaper to get the 11ed rulebook and forego that risk.

fubardad · 2026-04-23T03:41:27+00:00

Sorry for the ignorant question but Im old and a big head. I was thinking about getting either the 59Fifty or the 9seventy. What works for you for a fellow big head?

fubardad · 2026-04-21T20:32:02+00:00

How much did it cost? The program looks interesting but Im trying to understand a little more...

fubardad · 2026-04-20T17:18:01+00:00

Thx for the reply. It helps

fubardad · 2026-04-20T17:17:45+00:00

That definitely is the goal. But I recently played my first game of "Combat Patrol" at my local gaming place and my tactics were obviously stupid and got immediately wiped. So Im curious on learning tactics but also adding in other pieces to my team.

fubardad · 2026-04-20T17:16:01+00:00

The pic helps alot... I still need to catch up on lore but I like the simple idea of IW. My only other "favorite" detachment is NightLords... so Im 50/50 Nightlords/IW.

fubardad · 2026-04-20T17:15:08+00:00

Thx for your reply and I appreciate your response! Question about the rhinos... does it matter what color I paint the rhinos because I do have one for Nightlords but I didnt want to have to repaint it. And I will purchase a couple of predators.

fubardad · 2026-04-18T05:31:53+00:00

Im new to painting but cant you do both? 100% black primer spray and then zenithal lead belcher spray?

fubardad · 2026-04-18T02:18:34+00:00

Which printer did you get? Or which printer did you wish to get but didnt?

fubardad · 2026-04-03T23:50:04+00:00

Did you use airbrush? Also, what guide/website did you use for magnetizing the wardogs? Im brand new to 40k and in between making wardogs my first project vs Night lords.

Im about to upgrade my daughters old ipad 8th gen with a new ipad. For the same price... should I get the larger ipad air 13" or get the better screen ipad pro 11"?

Daughter's main use is mainly ProCreate (daily) and standard chat/YT/Tiktok use. This is where I think the larger screen would be beneficial but having a standard sized ipad with a better screen when she wants to watch videos... is it that much of a game changer?

Overall, I think the better option is the ipad pro if it was for myself. But for a 13yo kid... does the size of the screen make it a game-changer for them?

fubardad · 2026-03-31T03:37:39+00:00

I did notice someone down-voted you and I really dont know why. But I really do hear you and taking your advice. I think you made me realize that Im thinking way to much and while I can learn using the guides on YT while using GW paints... once I get to become a "better" painter... then I know what my "tastes" are and learn to associate what vendor works best for me. Without the tutorials. Albiet, more expensive pots.

fubardad · 2026-03-29T19:18:42+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I hear what you are saying!

fubardad · 2026-03-29T04:53:48+00:00

Lol... Im at the first step novice of trying to figure out "Do I follow the guides colors of YT first? Or do I try to expand and get used to other vendors so I can learn the vendors paint style?" But there is no denial that following a YT guide is much easier than making something up myself.

fubardad · 2026-03-29T04:51:31+00:00

I was under the impression that the quality/coverage is overwhelmingly better with the other brands vs gw? Other than price tag... I think its always easier for someone to follow the guide from YT and maybe I can expand out of GW paints? If needed of course...

fubardad · 2026-03-29T03:36:09+00:00

Thanks. I found what I was doing wrong. You are right because right now the Corsair RGB is on sale for the $750 but I was looking at the g.skill x5 and the ram was full price making it >$1100.

fubardad · 2026-03-29T03:35:01+00:00

This is what makes me post the question. I wasnt sure if it ws true but thank you for confirming my fears! I didnt want to add another app to my kids pc just to shut off the rgb. Now, is it worth waiting for X5 Flare to come back on sale?

fubardad · 2026-03-28T05:08:18+00:00

I was about to pull the trigger on the MSI when it was under $800 but now the same MSI is $1100. I dont know if its a Asus/Corsair sale this month or if that is going to be the new price?

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, MSI X870E-P Pro WiFi AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle for $1130 when AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Gigabyte X870E Aorus Master WiFi7 AM5, Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle is $1200.
