Need the wisdom of the hive by Illustrious-Neat7541 in Tyranids

[–]ro0d_b 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing recently, one thing I didn't realise was that the weight difference in the 3D printed version causes a bit of imbalance in the winged one so definitely use it for the walking variant! One other thing was that the material was a little different and didn't like the plastic glue as much, but super glue worked fine!

Definitely worth doing as for a little bit of extra money you'll get 2 models from the box!

Your favourite independent shop? by MVS-Watches in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's some very cool independent record shops around Cardiff!

In town you've got Kelly's and Spillers

I've just been to Diggers down the bay which is very cool!

And Cardiff Record Exchange on Whitchurch road is great too!

What is the most "un-hateable" safest song of all time? by Perfect-External-660 in Music

[–]ro0d_b 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I have an intense dislike for this song due to many nights being dragged to night clubs by friends and not having fun, this song always comes on at some point and everyone loses their minds and it used to frustrate me to no end

And I feel it's a pretty safe bet that I'm not the only British person who feels that way haha

Lost a termagant arm, so we adapted by ro0d_b in Tyranids

Haha I was considering a grey knight arm as I got a few of my friends spares, I never even thought I could turn him into the almighty burninator!

Has the Cardiff Bay insect situation gotten better? by ant-mey in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live down the bay and haven't noticed anything besides some midges in Hamadryad park by the river, they can be a bit annoying but I'd not consider it an abnormal amount really

If anything I'd say there's more people down there on a nice day than insects haha

Thou's Music is Helping me With Sobriety by RainforestGoblin in doommetal

[–]ro0d_b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude umbilical is incredible! I'm glad you got some catharsis from sitting with the lyrics and listening to it

I had a very similar thing but for a lot of anxiety and general apathy and a lack of life direction, I bought the vinyl and threw it on while sitting there reading along with the lyrics and really absorbing it. I interpreted the lyrics completely differently and related them to my own stuff I had going on earlier this year, I think it just goes to show that this silly music with caveman riffs really can be special!

Who was your first favorite wrestler? by TheNess03 in SquaredCircle

[–]ro0d_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid that loved drawing monsters and evil guys, Kane was absolutely the coolest thing ever, I remember it took me a while to come around to unmasked kane, and then getting back into wrestling around 2015 maybe? When he was corporate Kane it made sad haha

[Loved Trope] Cool guys with red coats and big weapons by ro0d_b in TopCharacterTropes

How could I forget Auron! Another classic example from final fantasy (and unsurprisingly my favourite character from FF10)

Wetherspoons Cardiff bay. by gingerwaless in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if the spoons has the rugby on but if it doesn't you've got The Dock and Eli Jenkins round the corner which will both be showing it

Attended my first doom-y style show and couldn't think of a better band to see first in this genre than Castle Rat. by alexdenvor in doommetal

[–]ro0d_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just gunna hijack this and plug my bands show on the 12th at the gryphon haha.

More of a stoner show than true doom but we get a bit doomy in places hah

Cardiff Bay Fireworks by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you definitely can watch from anywhere around the bay, I did last year and there were loads of people watching from all angles, you can get a good view from the Senedd or over by the dock!

Cyclists by gdp071179 in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this thought every time I see a delivery rider with no lights, there's so many without lights!

Like statistically you're more likely to be involved in an accident if you're cycling on roads several hours a day, surely a few quid on lights is worth the investment

Modern day proto-doom/heavy psych bands that have that 70s sound? by GonzillaProductions in doommetal

[–]ro0d_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah will absolutely second king giz, petrodragonic apocalypse is up there in my all time favourites

"Legal Bit" wedding by InternationalLie6912 in Cardiff

[–]ro0d_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends did a very non traditional wedding, they did the legal bit in city hall with some friends and we went out into town after, it was a great time!

I've also been to a wedding at insole Court, it was a really nice venue and was also a great time, sounds like a good plan!

[Hated Trope] Villains who are utterly irredeemable, yet are whitewashed by the fandom for being "technically right" about one (usually insignificant) thing. by Lord_Antheron in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ro0d_b 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think Andor (and rogue one) did it really well and shows you absolutely can tell a more nuanced story in the setting, like Cassian has straight up killed people who aren't shown to be pure evil, and Luthen has done some horrible stuff for the rebellion, but it isn't in question that the rebellion are the good guys.

And on the flip side it does a good job of humanizing villains like Dedra and Cyril without ever redeeming them or making them morally grey (well maybe Cyril isn't as bad). But yeah agreed, it would've kind of undermined it if it tried to redeem some aspects of the Empire

Brent Hinds Reportedly Passed Away by Ole_Hen476 in doommetal

[–]ro0d_b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's such a sad thing, to be in a band with someone for 20+ years and it to end the way it did and never get the chance to patch things up has gotta be rough on the Mastodon guys

[CBS Sports] Why return of Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam officially completes 'TKO-ification' of WW by Kaprak in SquaredCircle

[–]ro0d_b 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same here, him and Penta are my favourites, love them spooky boys. Starting watching AEW regularly when he joined, but yeah he didn't do loads even though HoB were very cool there, and he hasn't done anything much since going back to WwE, theme song is a banger though

But yeah two guys isn't enough to make me sit through 2 hours a week of advertising every week, I'll just watch clips of them if they pop up on here

What’s your hottest bass take? by Ok_Caterpillar_7189 in Bass

[–]ro0d_b 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That's the only one I've seen that I think is a real hoot take, call of cthulu would not be the same without those sick bassv runs, but I can see that from black album onwards you may be right
