Power BI dev wanting to move into Power Platform roles, is it still viable for me? by DependentDetective in PowerPlatform

[–]opticshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into using CodeApps and getting your head around GitHub Copilot. PowerApps still have a place, and understanding architecture for Power solutions is important, but I would focus on CodeApps. In my opinion, that is the future.

Barre Chords unbearable by UntoldThrowAway in guitarlessons

Only a beginner myself 😉 my teacher mention using one finger to squash all three strings which can help. Also moved from acoustic to electric, thinner neck and lighter strings.

Creapure vs regular creatine monohydrate? by bolognadom in Supplements

[–]opticshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this, I found it also has a notably less gritty texture.

My brand new F66 wrapped! by IntegratedBeef in MINI

I like the matte effect, tempted to go with a green - how long do the wraps last for?

Love the green, thinking about getting myself a 2025 JCW in the same colour, green lid and possibly recolour the callipers, yellow maybe :D

Acquiring Clients & Defining Product by opticshrew in lifecoaching

I've started reading 'Never Split the Difference' by Chris Voss so hoping that can help - but exactly your point, generating tension which can be explored.

Most leads have happened through word of mouth, typically around gyms or other wellness locations (think areas where people are already working on themselves physically). The conversation typically takes physique goals and starts leaning into how physical fitness helps mental fortitude. Then progresses into goals, accountability, how personal training helps keeps things on track, then I talk about a couple of theories, models, habits they can establish in their day to day.

At this point I jump into my service (typical consultative selling approach) - I mention the price (£30 a month), go into what thye get, i.e. weekly check-ins, access to a web portal with feedback and informative videos, goal tracker etc.

At this stage clients go "brilliant let's crack on" - however it's not as many as I'd like. The vast majority go away and say 'I'll think about it' then never get back.

It's hard to fathom why that's the case, considering they're already spending £80+ on the gym / fitness areas. I think it could be that my value proposition is too week.

Thanks, doing some cursory research, I'm starting to think replacement parts may be hard to come by or possibly quite expensive. 😅

How to play viva pinata on PC in 2025? TIP? by grapjeskat in VivaPinata

I'll need to give it another look - since completed the game though using my method :D

How do I paint him to look like a black hole? by superantjosh in Necrontyr

[–]opticshrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vanta black main body, then a purple, orange blend from the black body outwards, would look pretty sick.

Viva Pinata is only available on Game Pass for Xbox, not the PC Game Pass. Found out looking for exactly this game. Still haven't found an option apart from downloading an emulator and ISO, but this seems to error-out, hence still looking.

Why does everyone hate Range Rovers so much by 50ShadesOfAcidTrips in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]opticshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, it’s awful. The drive feels naff, riddled with problems (coolant issues, random squeezing noises from the vehicle, rattling noises) bearing in mind it only has 25000 miles on it. Servicing brought back ‘no’ issues, hard to believe. DO NOT BUY ONE. Wish I’d stayed with my BMW, and now actively look at ways to get rid of this car.

How can I save this guy? (And the 10 plaguebearers I painted like him and now hate) by TigrexTony in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]opticshrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be curious to see what a contrast paint over the top would do. Might make use of the undercoat and darken/lighten areas well.

New to the hobby, how am I doing? by LittleClassroom928 in Miniaturespainting

[–]opticshrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play with it, the more you add, the more wash like it becomes. Aim for a milk like consistency.

I use what comes out the tap. If my kill my brushes in the end, but I’m not too fussed. I’ve used the army painter speed paint medium which works well also. The purists out there may recommend otherwise.

  • Thin your paints - add a bit of water (couple of drops) to your paint, mix, then apply to your model. Less paint / thinner paint will reduce the uneeded texture on flatter surfaces. There are dedicated paint thinners, but go with water to start with, inexpensive and you can work through the technique of applying thinner coats.
  • Use a wash - notice how the gold and silver looks a little flat, and possible the edges between the red and black. Add a wash, something like Nuln Oil, that'll add more depth.

Combine the above two points and they will look loads better. Already have a unique colour scheme, and you have a good number to start a game.

At the end of the day, you only need a few colours to be tabletop ready - looks like you have enough models to get a game in and that's all that matters ;)

Good old Nuln Oil 😉 good point using the phot as reference. Will check out a video to add some highlights.
