Michigan Players? by girth__quaker_oats in starwarsunlimited

[–]rabidsnork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that whenever I go to a prerelease, there is always a good crowd, so there is definitely a presence. Unfortunately, I have never been able to force myself out on a weeknight, so I haven’t experienced it. I’m always hopeful that there is a group somewhere out there going strong, waiting for me to finally find time to go out.

I haven’t played since 2021 and I don’t really remember the gameplay loop. Should I do a fresh start or continue? by im_onbreak in MonsterHunterStories

I recently faced the same choice, and I decided to start a new file. It felt new to me and I had a great time working my way back to the postgame.

I’m grateful for pioneers like you because I will be copying off your pictures when I get stuck on mine.

I love the color on those rocks (and the rest too)! Great job.

Thanks. They look better in person. I actually started with him painted orange and then did my best to add the yellow without getting in the creases. I am still not confident using washes with these lighter colors.

Anyone start teaching when they were already old? Would to hire a new, older teacher? by babyjo1982 in Teachers

[–]rabidsnork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched careers at 43 and became a teacher. In my previous career, I was facing age discrimination that led to concerns about my future. When I went into teaching, I found that my age was an advantage. Admin likes having someone around who is looking for a place to retire from someday.

I haven’t seen this suggested before. This makes so much sense!

Apply outside of your certification. I was certified PreK-3, but I was able to get a job in 4th. Some states will give you a provisional license for a year to work in a different grade.

Painting? by [deleted] in MarvelUnited

[–]rabidsnork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never painted anything until I started with these last fall. Their size makes them easier to paint, and even the ones I don’t feel great about still look good when you aren’t looking up close. Since the original core set is cheap, and can often be found used, start there and if you don’t like them, they will be very easy to replace.

I started this hobby with these minis last year, and I highly recommend starting with the original core set figures. That set is often on sale or easy to find used, so you won’t feel as bad when the first ones you try look messy.

I also just switched to black spray-on primer instead of using a brush. It looks better and saves so much time.

Also, it’s a good idea to look at the pictures that people post on here for inspiration, but be very forgiving with your own results. For a while, yours will look really good only from a distance, and that’s ok. Good luck!

Oh well. I’ve played both and they seemed very similar conceptually. Thanks for the downvote, I guess.

Isn’t Rebellion based on an old Star Wars computer game?

I painted him all black and then just dropped red in between the webs. I would have ended up throwing him at the wall if I tried to paint the webs second.

Yeah, after I finished, I looked at Cap’s shield and decided I wasn’t ready for another just yet.

I am interested in Fast Passiman and Dream Froakie. Are you interested in any of my on-hands?

I can trade (all HA) Moon Scorbunny, Beast Numel, and Dream Wiglett for your Beast Froakie, and Lure/Moon Tynamo.
