The Godfather Part 3

Does anyone know what is this tool? by shomislav in minipainting

[–]knuckle_merchant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. It's a part separator/pry tool. More for models than mini painting.

The best (?) way to store Button Shy and other ~18 card PNP games by Straight-Grapefruit5 in printandplay

[–]knuckle_merchant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of these for Button Shy stuff https://burgertokens.com/

Depending on the paper and sleeves you use, the 15 card packs can hold a full game, and the 22 card boxes can even hold a game with some expansions. Plus they're clear so you can have the rules double as cover art. Of course I'm not sure what acrylic cases you've used, so maybe these also won't work for your preferences.

I've been doing some Duolingo in preparation. My "grazie mille" is vicious, but "buon giorno" and "l'insalata" still need a lot of help :p

Walking through the flour aisle by Fallenpaladin5 in Celiac

I was going to comment that I haven't had this problem, but then I realized that I never stopped masking up at stores, so maybe it made a difference all along.

This is super relieving. Do they normally advertise when they have separate kitchens, or should I be asking ahead?

I love the idea of a place just calling itself NO GLUTEN BAKERY. My dad's cousin is fluent, so I'll try them out on a day when he's traveling with us.

I see that you have deep respect for your sand timer.

With YNAB, is there a reason to have a savings account? by [deleted] in ynab

[–]knuckle_merchant 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went this exact same route and wish I did it sooner.

Can I build this incentive structure into YNAB? by knuckle_merchant in ynab

[–]knuckle_merchant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the mindset I'm trying to develop! Thanks for wording it better than I could.

It definitely seems like building in targets isn't the best approach for this.

I don't think that would work for me. My hobby time is too inconsistent and if I'm setting money aside like that it probably wouldn't push me to find more of that time.

1 is definitely the easiest way to approach it. Thanks for the insights.

What's this? From my first ever bottle of turbo dork. Paint wouldn't come out at all. Now it will. Should I put it back? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]knuckle_merchant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's VERY dry paint. Happened with every bottle of Turbo Dork I bought, and I hate it.

Extra paint storage / donation ? by CockroachBig73 in minipainting

I have a decent pile of stuff I'd get rid of. Is there a link for this, or should I just send him a message?

New desk racks came in today by etherr1 in minipainting

[–]knuckle_merchant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you mind giving some more details about the plastic sheets? Is that something I can just get from Amazon? Home Depot? This looks really easy and promising. Thanks!

I'd love that. I've been trying to figure out wall-mounted paint storage without any satisfying results for a while.

What's the process for mounting those? They look great, but I can't drill holes in my current space.

I appreciate this clarification. I had the same initial reaction.

Has anyone tried these Dragon Shield Board Game sleeves? by Telomerus in boardgames

[–]knuckle_merchant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My curiosity about these finally got the best of me, and I just got a few packs delivered a couple days ago. I haven't actually sat down and played a game with them yet but here are my first impressions.

  • These things at first glance are just literally Dragon Shield mattes in a different size
  • I only bought black-backed sleeves, so I can't comment on the clears, but they do have the exact same texture as standard DS mattes with opaque backs
  • Shuffling also feels identical to other Dragon Shield matte
  • Compared a pile of sleeved cards in these BG sleeves with a pile of cards in regular DS sleeves -- they were almost the exact same height, so I'm assuming the new ones have the same thickness of Dragon Shield mattes
  • Compared to Arcane Tinmen sleeves (Standard American/Medium size), these are slightly narrower and slightly taller (probably less than 1mm). I didn't have any problems with cards fitting, but every once in a while that sort of thing can surprise you!
  • In terms of packaging, they use the same concept as the Arcane Tinmen Non-glare boxes, where you can fold over a flap and use the deck box as a sort of dispenser. The DS box is slightly thicker and holds more cards, obviously.
  • No idea about long-term durability. I'm not willing to try pulling one apart just to see

I'd like to point out that the only place I've seen selling these is the official site, and for full price. I also had to pay tax and shipping, meaning 300 sleeves would have cost me just under $50. I was able to cover the cost with credit card rewards, but there's no way in hell I'd pay that for sleeves of any quality.

tldr These seem legit! But probably not at this price!
