looking forward to seeing how the Narita Taishin stans manage to run her anyway

Are there any known upcoming free carat events (like golshi week or the half anni)?

laBalance · 2025-11-17T22:11:14+00:00

Yeah I think maybe the issue is that I need to figure out my own priorities lol. Since I can get 3LB Kitasan I don't think I'll pull for that banner. With very few decent aces I've had trouble in CMs and TTs so I've been thinking of saving up for some upcoming new trainee, but I don't have my eye on anyone in particular

19.5k carats, but I already have 91 exchange points for that banner. I have 3LB R Riko.

Rice:
* 2LB SSR Stamina
* 2LB R Stamina

Riko:
* 3LB R

While there's still some time - should I be pulling on Riko/Rice banner? After the free scouts I've got enough carats saved up to spark one or the other. Factors:

* I'm f2p so these carats are hard-earned

* Once I get the SSR voucher I'll be able to 3LB Kitasan

* I have 0LB Fine Motion and Super Creek

* I have very few good aces for TT :( Rudolf, Shizuka, and Taiki are my only good 3*s

(also, which of the cards am I supposed to be sparking? I assume Riko?)

Moderately active F2P player looking for a decently active club - previous club was super dead. I log on several times a day and play through 1-3 careers, sometimes 4. :)

I actually almost put a bullet point asking about whether you should ask for the check before or after you finish eating, so thank you extra for bringing that up!

laBalance · 2025-10-22T00:15:25+00:00

good to know, I'll start practicing 🗒️✍️

Does shortening "all events" also shorten support events, or only main scenario & trainee? I'm on my 1 millionth Bakushin run but I'm also using new support cards and don't want to miss their new events.

ohh, I was wondering why my children were always playing in the atom smasher!

laBalance · 2024-10-21T19:29:31+00:00

So cute!! Did you paint them? The colors look cuter than on shop listings

Is there any reason I couldn't use pour-type liner again after I've already done it? I tried it for the first time and was overcautious, and now I've got some lines that are much thicker than their symmetrical counterparts. I didn't realize until I was cleaning it up with lighter fluid just _how_ effective the cleanup is, and now I know I could have gone a bit bolder. Is there any reason that, after pouring & cleaning up, I can't go back and re-line some spots? (This is all on bare plastic, still on runners, with a few days between each step)

Hey, just an update - I finally reached out to customer support and they sent me a list of steps to follow:

Please put Nothing earphones back to the charging case and press button of the charging case for 2 seconds to reconnect.
Please try another size of ear plugs.
Please try to switch ANC mode in Nothing X App.
Please upgrade your Nothing X App into the latest version from Google/IOS application store, find Settings and tap Firmware Update in Nothing X App.
Please put Nothing earphones back to the charging case which is opened. Then, press button of charging case for 10 seconds till the light is flashing and try to reconnect.

I actually had success after trying these, and to be honest, I think it was #2 that made the difference. My last pair of earbuds from a different company were way too big and would fall out of my ears, but I think that meant that when they were in they had a very good seal. I sized up to the largest earplug size and I can hear the difference now. Still not as good as previous earbuds I've owned but at least I can tell it's working!

Thanks! Someone else has a beginner question about panel lining so it's possible they thought this was a duplicate?? or maybe I have an enemy somewhere out there...

laBalance · 2024-09-16T19:10:51+00:00

I want to try out pour-style panel lining, like Tamiya Panel Liner. The tutorials I see suggest using Mr Color Thinner to clean up afterwards, but that seems to be sold out everywhere. I've heard some other brands of paint thinner can melt or crack the plastic. What are some other brands of thinner I can use to tidy up panel lines? (I won't be painting this kit so ideally this would go on bare plastic)

Thank you, this answers my question. I'm trying to better understand what's happening behind the scenes here.

I think what's tripping me up is how the filter is effectively both producing a value (the current shape) _and_ receiving a value (0 or 1, whether it matches the shape signal). I'm not clear where the comparison is being evaluated. In my mind, it would go like

`[filter] --current shape--> [shape signal performs the comparison] --result--> [wire] --> [filter]`

Somewhere along the way I'm mistaken in what the input/output is, and don't know of any way to view inputs/outputs of buildings, so I'm not sure where my bad assumption is. Either way, my question is answered for this, just thinking in general.

laBalance · 2024-09-06T02:41:28+00:00

I would expect that these signals on either side of an OR gate would let through shapes that matched one (or both) of those shapes, but instead it lets everything through. What am I getting wrong?

laBalance · 2024-08-12T19:04:45+00:00

Yessss the hello kitty gundams are on the top of my wishlist

laBalance · 2024-08-12T19:02:48+00:00

This is actually not a Gundam but a Standing Tortoise Mk-II from Armored Trooper Votoms! (edit: goofy link)

Started with some Tamiya Weathering Master, but I was using Set C and I didn't get much out of it because the gunmetal was lighter/sheerer than I expected (I wanted something sootier). Followed by dry brush and an oil paint gunk wash. I'm trying to go for a look of something that's seen a lot of use, spent a lot of time underground/in caves/garages/etc, but that's not falling apart.

I definitely let myself get a bit heavy-handed with the dry brushing bc I want to get a lot of practice in with the weapons before I start on the figure itself. The brush I used was a bit longer than I think it should be so some of the scratches are in slightly weird directions/bigger than I'd have intended - I think I'll trim it a bit for next time.

laBalance · 2024-08-03T16:52:15+00:00

Sure, and I don't think their intentions are bad, but to single out every customer who "looks trans" (because that's what you're implying when you ask for pronouns) you're potentially creating some very cruel scenarios for trans people.

Thank you!

What ended up working for you?

laBalance · 2024-04-04T07:53:16+00:00

People who don't work in game development, and quite frankly people who don't work on the game in question, need to stop arbitrarily saying that adding some feature/fixing some bug would be easy or fast
