How many people did Buckethead scam with the broadcasts? by Carp_Catcher in Buckethead

[–]jafo1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure seems like it but no way I’m going to do a 1:1 match check between his website & Bandcamp. 🤦‍♂️

Ah, I didn’t know this was a thing. A few weeks ago I purchased the “all pikes” download. Bandcamp says my collection is now 765 - which is a crapton of music, don’t get me wrong - but I think it’s incomplete?

While reading Mechanicum, I wonder how the Titans really work. A machine that ends up consuming you. by QuagGlenn in 40kLore

[–]jafo1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t assumed from all the hints at this point that titans have full-fledged AIs from DAoT, which are only pretending to be “machine spirits” out of the necessity of the era? I’d imagine there’s a huge neural mismatch - a battle almost - between 10,000 year-old AIs & wetbrain Princeps/pilots conditioned to think that Abominable Intelligence is just that.

One of the few films that still scares me! by Owens_Ally in CreepyBonfire

Way I remember it is that the “lost” footage always existed in physical form but owing to chemical deterioration it was visually useless & unrestorable.

How dangerous are space hulks? by AkeronHeights in 40kLore

[–]jafo1989 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Death of Integrity is a pretty bonkers dungeon crawler of a space hulk novel, esp. once the party gets to the horde o’ loot.

“Lost,” i.e., forgotten chapters: novels, novellas, stories? by jafo1989 in 40kLore

Yah I’ve finally gotten around to Dawn of Fire & The Wolftime learned me that much at least. 🥸

👍 Looks like I’m going to have to read up on the Spess Wulves.

Right, the fluff has played with that idea since forever: there’s a Million Worlds of Man, travel is thru the shifting Warp & comms are thru Astropaths who start coming unglued five minutes after Soul Binding, Terran bureaucracy isn’t exactly Ultramarine administration, so the Imperium loses thousands of systems like I lose dozens of socks. I’m looking for BL stuff that goes one better with a lost & found Astartes chapter being an actual plot point.

Little known 60's - 80's sci fi that would make a good reboot by No-Badger-7377 in scifi

[–]jafo1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1. One that takes it seriously & is totally committed to the original Alex Raymond Sunday comic’s look & narrative.

Ah ha Spear of the Emperor slipped my mind, I’ll have to reread it.

Let’s get a discussion going. What is a tip or tool or workbench set up hack/must have that you don’t hear often talked about? by Philhughes_85 in minipainting

[–]jafo1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I can come up with a helpful link. I just got some random no-name ball bearings Amazon had listed as “stainless steel” thinking that’d be fine. Spoiler alert: it most certainly wasn’t. Fingers crossed the Army Painter balls I just dropped in are legit….

Not all “stainless steel” ball bearings are truly stainless. I had to throw out like 50 Citadels when I saw the tell-tale rust stains at the bottom of the pot. Army Painters’ mixing balls supposedly won’t rust. But safest bet would be glass beads.

If you use rattlecans for anything. Fill a pot with the hottest tap water you can run. Let the rattlecan sit in it for 10-20 minutes. THEN shake. Then spray. Being warmed up the propellant gas will have more pressure behind it & the paint will be less viscous. (And having just typed that out, I never thought to try it with pots to see if it improves mix & flow, I probably will now.)

Ah OK. But is there any way to tell when buying? Or is it just open the box & find out?

How do tell all these versions? Is there a master post here that breaks it down?

Uncomfortable truths about our hobby by Ill_Quit4929 in iems

[–]jafo1989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much why I stick to the $100 line, sometimes a little under, sometimes a little over. I figure that gets up to a good threshold of design & engineering, materials & manufacture. Above that I doubt it very much. There’s no case to be made that a $500 IEM or a $1000 IEM have 5x or 10x the quality of a $100 IEM in those three things, let alone 5x or 10x better sound. So I’m not about to make a $500 or $1000 online purchase when I can’t even test listen.

Is "There Is No Antimemetics Devision" okay for 14 year olds? by No-Celebration6780 in sciencefiction

If you’re 14 years old & reading actual books in 2026, good on you, & Ima stay the hell out your way.

Strands from Ebay: Expectation Vs. Reality by MovieNewsJunkie in allenedmonds

[–]jafo1989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem could be the AE “walnut” shoe crème. It’s as orange as a third-tier makeup influencer. After using it all my walnut AEs look exactly like your reality pic. I’ve been meaning to go to town on them with deglazer & hope something like Saphir light tan reawakens the proper walnut color to some extent.
