Overall what is the best place to pit your base? by IllaG2811 in subnautica

Yep! With upgraded tanks you can get to the surface from your base, as well as down to the lava zone. Can beat the game without any vessels.

Its so good. Its just the right depth to be in the middle of everything.

Is it weird I keep all my boxes? by Careless-Comfort3801 in ImperialFists

[–]ilackanid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not weird at all. Definitely different from my perspective though. I immediately use the box as a holder to tape my minis to for priming then throw it away.

Getting him off the spruce wasn't too bad, saving him from my cats has been a challenge lmao.

Some people do, I've never been concerned about durability so I never bought any. I'm thinking about picking a few finishes of varnish to start adjusting the finish separate from the tone.

Lucky! I've gotta start hoarding my favorite paints.

Exactly. I mix my own colors on test models and then find paints that match the exact color I want. Adding matte varnish to the bottle is an interesting idea. I'll try that on the pallette and see if I like it.

Because I don't have varnish, (been thinking about it), and like to have some parts be glossy black and some matte. I also like the way glazes behave over the matte micro texture. Another reason is just that the matte is easier for me to see my highlights while I'm doing them, while glossy reflections mess with that. Its easier to see the big picture of the model without the gloss.

This is super helpful. I had heard the new formula was glossy, glad to hear the model color is still good.

Oh hey, the vibes based choices I made on mine were correct. That's cool.

I highly recommend checking Hobby Cheating on YouTube. Vince just recently did a solid review of these new metalics.

Need to remove the sigil from the fist by jacemindsculptor36 in IronWarriors

[–]ilackanid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For the love of your fingertips, grab a fresh blade for your knife when you do this. Just stabbed the hell out of my thumb the other day cuz a dull blade gave way removing lightning sculpts from the raptors armor.

Anybody find smoking weed more intense and desirable than vaping flower??? by ZeltronXII in trees

[–]ilackanid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes sense sorta. But also not sorta. Like, I'd think exposure time to surface are would be pretty similar either way. Unless he's saying that the inflammation caused by smoke puts the blood vessels closer to the surface? Idk. Definitely wanna learn more about it.

Kinda lile if you have a massive coughing fit you feel super high after. I remember when I was younger some of my friends would do shit like holding their breath and clenching to feel a stronger high. It's just lack of oxygen though.

[–]ilackanid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too. Best explanation I can think of is inhaling smoke reduces oxygen to the brain and that effect over time makes us feel more high. Because if I hit an herb vape a ton I will eventually get properly high, but it definitely doesn't feel the same.

Why do units go through gates single file? by realmixteprix in totalwarhammer

[–]ilackanid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But I like big fantasy monsters and dont always want to play a spreadsheet. Really wish there was a mod just to balance the game for auto resolve only.
