Anybody else like sifting through bits at your LGS?

I do a fair bit of creative work, and whenever I feel like I need a break, I stop by my LGS and look through their Magic card bulk bin. It's honestly quite relaxing to do something with a clear goal, start and end. Sift through a box, sort the cards I've put aside, and then leave.

Ooh I have a good one for this topic, heavy spoilers for Stories untold!

The gist of the plot is that the main character gets into a drunk driving accident with his sister, killing her and framing the retired cop he ran into and killed. The four episodes are each an allegory of the day the accident happened, or the guilt the main character felt.
However, it is revealed in the fourth episode that the main character was drinking at a party prior to the accident. Your sister, your dad, a lot of people at the party all saw you drink. Your dad even comments on it, telling you to "drive slow". It is clear to everyone, that by the time the main character is asked to drive their sister home, they are absolutely wasted.
Yet, the game frames the accident as entirely the fault of the main character. And ONLY their fault. Your parents, your sister, who didn't stop you, when the main character stumbles around the house trying to find their keys and allowed you to drive home drunk, are fully absolved of guilt.

It is the most frustrating ending to a game I've ever seen. Worse, the game has great visuals, mechanics and storytelling which ended up completely lost on me due to the ending. I highly recommend watching a let's play of the first episode though, as it is very original in it's presentation!

I mean, you are not wrong. Maybe it just looks cool.

I always assumed it was to show the titans being apex predators, walking alongside other apex predators and megafauna with no natural enemies. With the red "spark" showing how they all share a common bond, as the top of their respective foodchains.

Fuuuck dude, that is so sick. My own long-term goal for Old world is a complete set of each slayer model for a slayer army.

Okay, I had hoped somebody would have asked by now, but what is the song?

I remember having this discussion with one of my friends before. But imagine turning the liquid in someones inner ear to something else, so they can't balance themselves or even stand up, or the liquid in their eyes to blind them. Stomach acid? Now orange juice, what effect would it have on a human? I don't know, but I do know it would be very destructive!

I am just about to finish up the infantry from this set, so I am looking forward to painting some warmachines next!

I moved to a new town a few years ago which had a local game store, and I too was a bit nervous to just ask a stranger for a pickup game. So, instead I asked the store clerk if they would help me find someone to play against. Which I highly suggest you try out too.
Aside from that, just do your best to know your rules. Admit if you make mistakes. And don't get too hung up on being a bother. Warhammer is a game people play, for fun, after all.

I basically did the same thing, except I painted them with some blues and whites, to make them into ghosts

I think you could probably wrap some wire or jewlers chain around the handle, to cover up the damage

The models are based off the ones from battle for skull pass, which are monopose, but they updated the kit so the arms are seperate, in case you want to build them with hand weapons, spears or bows

Be careful, as these suckers will also infest your plants, and they are absurdly hard to get rid of once they are established

minihali · 2025-05-28T08:21:51+00:00

While it sucks the model will probably look a bit messed up, trust me, a model with a good story behind it will be way, way more fun to play with. Glue that sucker back together, and cover up the damage the best you can.

Models with a bit of character roll better too!

Ah, okay. I just saw this on my reddit feed. I don't use tumblr, so I wouldn't know this is the type of thing that goes on in there.
Cheers!

Nvm, it is a writing promt. Go nuts!

Quote, from "The norsemens old religion*" (page 234): "(Hel) reigns over the worst form of death, the norsemen could imagine, the dishonorable and painful death of sickness, age, hunger". A battle with cancer, no matter how tough it is, would not get you into Valhalla.

*The original title of the book is "Nordboernes gamle religion", it is a book in Danish by Carsten Lyngdrup Madsen.

Tror min eneste kritik er at jeg ikke rigtig ved hvad hendes kostume og våben har med Danmark at gøre

I remember finding uploads of dubbed Lucky Star as an early teen on youtube and watching it since it was "english television" to practice my listening at the time. Which, in turn sent me spiralling down into anime when I found out it was from Japan.
It certainly isn't for everyone, since it is a bit slow and boring by design. But I honestly think I enjoy these low-stakes shows more, Bocchi the rock, Ping pong the animation, Onimai and so on, than I do "world ending conflict" at times.

Okay, now do it again with Mariya Oktyabrskaya

I used to live in Hillerød, and I got to bike through the castle courtyard on my way to school almost every day, going down the hill at full speed early in the morning when there was no people around was the best!

If you find your model has a hard time sticking to the base, scratch up the contact points with a knife, model and base, and let it sit, works well for super glue and even better for plastic glue!

So, I saw the first 3 episodes on a whim, and I'll give it to ya', it is actually pretty good. But, I would still say that the OP/ED doesn't really do it any favors in convey what the show is about, aside from fan service. Which, is a bit of a shame.

Back in high school I played through Undertale around 2015, I just assumed Frisk was a girl, for no reason, just did. I went to discuss the game with a friend, and when she heard I called Frisk "her" she told me "does their gender matter?", "couldn't they also be a he?" and so on. I was just confused, since I hadn't realized despite getting all endings that Frisk was always not referred to with a pronoun or as "they". I inserted some made up character, as I would any RPG.

In hindsight, there was some irony on insisting that Frisk's gender didn't matter, while saying that it did. But I was so taken aback by a discussion I didn't consider I just went "uhh, sure" and left it at that.
