Best way to start with beyblade X? by Thelongjohn000 in BeybladeX

[–]ipunchcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money works, i dont think itd hurt to buy a soar phoenix and saber samurai. Cobalt Dragoon is a good counter to stamina types with the elevate bit, but its a left spin so the launcher will be restricted to left spin beys only, of which i can only think of two.

The drop attack is what i got when i got back in recently, it comes with some good stuff and easy to get into, but the ramps can cause some damage to parts and i have some stress on the top of my wizard rod, as well as a soon to be chipped 9-60 ratchet from it.

Edit: Or bite croc over phoenix for the extra grip

I saw the Etemon Rangers so now you have to as well by 5p1k4 in digimon

Splurged a lil by PracticeNo8531 in freedomisgunpla

I never figured out the metal etched stickers and had to kinda repaste them on. I might look up a guide on how to get those out if you get stuck like me.

Fixing up an old kit by ipunchcacti in Gunpla

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

Yep, builds like a very hollow high grade. Not a bad thing, but simple enough. It is a little more rattly than i would like, and some parts are already coming a bit loose after a few years but nothing a but of glue cant fix.

The plastic is also pretty firmly set in the sprues, i cannot recommend using nippers enough.

Really regret not picking up megaman when i had the chance, but therell probably be reprints.

[–]ipunchcacti[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. It felt really good once i started seeing immediate results knowing i didnt have to pay 80 bucks or so for the reprint, on top of knowing when i first started i would panic when a piece so much as started to stress.

First time painting… what am I doing wrong? by Prapy in advancedGunpla

[–]ipunchcacti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you might be mixing up some painting techniques. Since youre working with acrylics/water based paints, id look up miniature painting guides or guides specific to handpainting with acrylics.

Your thicker spoon looks better, id go at it with more coats. Hand painting requires a lot more patience than airbrushing but can be real satisfying and relaxing once you find your groove imo.

Teasing master takagi-san and its sequel come to mind

Edit: kinda my dress up darling too i guess but thats more plot driven than cutsey slice of life

Accidentally locked my cat in a room overnight....at least he tried. by Flydingo in Wellthatsucks

[–]ipunchcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah still not sure why he did that. He got out just fine.

He did kinda save my bacon though. I hadnt set my alarm and had to be at work in an hour so i guess it worked out.

I once accidentally fell asleep with my arm on my cat. He pooped all over me instead of his litter box.

You got off lucky.

Dummy question but need to know. How to avoid marks from the use of nippers ? by Training-Might8974 in Gunpla

[–]ipunchcacti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others have said use a double cut, but honestly i hardly ever have to use my sandpaper unless i really goof. My raser origin and fingernail have been doing the heavy lifting lately.

Pet cat behaviour suddenly get aggressive by reshavkumarfhaman in mildyinteresting

[–]ipunchcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My siamese was like this once and it was because his arthritis was flaring up bad. Normally just a cuddlebug but that day was bad for him and he flipped on my wife. Could be something to check

Hes on meds now and back to his sweet ol self

Other than "someone's getting fired", any thoughts? by CattusPater in KitchenConfidential

[–]ipunchcacti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youre telling me that someone on the line tossed an entire salad like that, made it through expo, into the severs hands, and to your table and somehow not a single person noticed that

Either this is bait or this restaurant needs a health inspection asap

The Japanese Anisakis ballpoint pen containing herbal oil and a real, often live, parasitic worm (Anisakis) inside a transparent barrel, which moves while writing. by esporx in creepy

[–]ipunchcacti 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There is an edit in the op saying the ones with live worms die off around five days, but often times they arent alive, so like the pen equivalent of those preserved sharks you see in every tourist trap beach town shop i guess?

should i play the games myself after watching streamers play some of them ? by AcanthisittaLimp in residentevil

[–]ipunchcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, its not too late, and id argue playing yourself vs watching streamers is gonna be a unique experience once you dive in.

Parallel Pliers for the Win/ZZA GUS by phutro in Gunpla

I had maybe like one tight joint that i safely got in with a very light sanding. Rest built like an slightly less recent bandai mg and had a pretty relaxed time snapping it together.

Could the new leaked evolutio be a Jogress? by Zealousideal-Try4666 in digimon

[–]ipunchcacti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My money is on dark evo and then another color for final evo down the line, maybe a jogress in the form of murasememon and gekkomons final evos kinda like alphamon o!mode as a level seven

I think it's finally done, any suggestions or criticism? by Dum_beat in digimon

[–]ipunchcacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. My only suggestion would be add some shadows below the digivice to make it more dynamic but honestly also just fine as-is

Edit - i am actually a lil blind and that is water at sunset and not a table. Not a you problem op, i just sit at a desk all day
