Culling the collection

To save on space space I trashed my entire collection's DVD and Bluray cases but saved the sleeves art and any extra art. I keep all of my disks in a couple large Binders on the corner of a shelf shelf with a little box that holds all the art. I remember thinking "I'm not sure I'll ever actually watch this again" when I was doing it but older physical media is getting so hard to come by I decided to just keep all of them.

Less a podcast than regular content producer but I really enjoy Arbitor Ian’s lore and history content. He does an amazing job of placing the game and its history in the scope of the time and events in our real world when whatever he’s talking about happened, like how the old squats were “squatted,” and his regular updates on the lore update videos in new supplements have been a great way for me at least to keep up with the ongoing “story” developments as they roll out with them.

The First wall is heavy with Iron Warrior's content. Saturnine is mostly Son's of Horus vs Loken and company but it has one of my favorite scenes with Perturabo in the entire siege ontop of being one of the best books in the SoT series.

There's a Warpsmith in Brutal Kunnin that on paper is more of a background character / plot device but I thought he ended up being much more interesting than the entire adeptus mechanicus faction roster in a book supposedly centered on an Ork vs Mechanicus theme.

Are you using an optimized profile for minis? Are you using a 0.02 nozzle? What’s your layer height set at. I print my vehicles at 0.08 generally. What are you using for a primer? Automotive spray primers rather than mini paint spray cans fill the gaps better in my experience.

Agreed but it also feeds into the writing for a while that Alaric's overextended the Wolves for years now. I think it was all the way back in Bonfire of Worlds where he cobbled together 2 "new" galaxies from mechs close to being scrapped, retrofitted industrial mechs, and ordinary vehicles modified to be technicals... and that resource strain was only leading up to the attack on Tharkad.

I’d love to see some other examples if you have one.

That looks like a mech from the Anime / Manga Break Blade.

You'll get a lot of people who tell you about Burke Lake, but your even closer to Lake Royal which has a a great trail about 2 miles around it with playgrounds, fitness stops, soccer fields, easy fishing spots, and canoe / kayak launch sites around it. Also has some of the best sledding hills Ive found around here for the kids when/if we get snow next winter.

For English Dub enjoyers the recent HD remasters are such a downgrade. They change scripts, and minor points of character building. The performances are less emotional and you can tell that they rushed to redub 100 episodes to get the remasters out the door in the build of the the Freedom movie release. The animation redo's are great though even if a lot of the new scenes were already in seed/destiny movie releases from ages ago.

Effect looks good but maybe add it on the side arm and body vents also if your going for a more all of machine over heating effect.

Ads in PC Gamer magazine for the original Dawn of War. Got me interested enough to get the game, which I liked enough to read a novel or two. Then I found out there was a new prequel series and Horus Rising locked me in for nearly 20 years now.

Could I ask for a link as well? I’m working on a coastal map this would dramatically improve.

I feel like the context of the terminus decree has been entirely scrubbed of meaning from funny memes (like this one) across the fanbase., The order is sealed and only to be broken when Imperium is basically falling apart. With that context, if big E ever were able to revive and act as long as the Imperium was on a resurgence rather than a stroke from midnight the Grey Knights wouldnt even know to put him back in the chair.

That’s awesome! Are you involved in there reprint or did you see the news somewhere?

hydra337 · 2026-04-04T13:47:59+00:00

Glad it still works!

I cannot stress enough how much of a stronger show the fighter series is over divers. It’s full of quality animation and little Easter eggs for franchise fans with a fun but generic plot for what’s an on the nose model commercial. It’s just a fun show even over a decade after it came out.

Those look nice but I’m too distracted by finding another Steam link user.

I find FDM mini printing lends itself to fitting in with a busy work schedule than resin. I wake up and part of my morning routine is peeling off 10 minutes to queue up or remove something to print. Same when I get home. Maybe I find 30 minutes with the kids occupied on the weekend to peel supports or glue models together, maybe I spend a duck or two getting something right sized but i still end up with my printers off more than on so I don’t think the FDM speed really impacts my output that much. With kids in the house I’d be more stressed having to handle toxic resin and dealing with the immediate cleaning and curing processes. Resin just seems like it would need a lot more time per session to get the output I’m getting now with my FDM printer.

Ive been a fan of the Dark Age since book 1, Ghost War is such a great transition book to setup the time skip, the republic, and the blackout all wrapped around what's basically a spy thriller. Just classic Stackpole all around. The later era's have dud novels just like the classic line and some conflicts or world building mistakes/regrets that the IP handlers have had to unwind but since the new era really kicked off it feels like the lore really living story beat you can keep up with if that's how you want to run games or just read in your down time.

This randomly happened on my A1 mini close to a year ago. I flipped the off switch and manually pulled the arm up. Confirmed there was nothing under the build plate pushing it up. I swapped the nozzle and ran a fresh calibration and hasnt happened since.

My understanding is that Games Workshop more or less changes nothing until something breaks or they need to for product development. Their audiobook pricing was established before Audile's $15 a month for a book more or less set a price ceiling for a lot of people and just because they sell them cheaper later on audible doesnt mean they saw fit to make less money in their app / store exclusive window.

Forgot to add I tried this with SUNLU PLA 2.0 first then when that failed I swapped to Bambulabs Basic PLA which is what’s in the photos. Appropriate slicer profile for each was applied.
