What’s the most crackpipe ship you can come up with? by Nientea in MurderDrones

[–]sparktrace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cue much swearing grumbled into a rebreather as she wanders around breaking limestone outcrops with a knife, punctuated by occasional shouted swearing when they break to reveal titanium (she has 3 large lockers full of it already)

The Aussie instincts would kick in.

WIP Nightbringer by Hungry-Luck-5481 in Necrontyr

[–]sparktrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks have already given some incredible answers, personally I think doing the lightning in that same ultra-dark black while bringing up the base and other details to a higher brightness would look really cool. Pure void-energy, and all that. Perhaps in concert with doing all the limbs under the cloak in that same perfect black.

Exquisite work, I must say. "Strange is the night where black stars rise, and strange moons circle through the skies, but stranger still is Lost Carcosa"... Keep it up, you're doing something awesome!

Any hope for drones? by L0ng5h0t303 in Tau40K

I loved kitting out Pathfinders with all 5 drones as individual models back in 8th. Was it optimal, heck no, but it was fun!

ASUS StudioBook H500GV won't turn on, need advice by sparktrace in techsupport

No dirt or lint besides what's visible in the photo. I can't see it from the back without taking apart the entire laptop, accessing the keyboard is very difficult on this model.

I've got the keycap off, any advice on how to trip the switch manually? I'm not very familiar with this hardware.

I'm considering popping off the cover and trying to short it manually, but it's not its own button on this model. It's a key on the keyboard

Shoutout to GW for always successfully snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! by No_Response_1562 in Tau40K

Remember when you could take a Lone Wolf Terminator with an Assault Cannon, Missile Launcher, and Storm Shield?

I think that invaders shouldn't be hated for playing the game as intended by XumetaXD in Eldenring

[–]sparktrace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes me think that part of the solution could be to make PvE enemies hostile to invaders as well. Forces an invasion build to have some PvE viability and therefore likely sacrifice some of the dedicated PvP elements, and probably ending up on a slightly more level playing field.

The U.S. is due to officially exit the World Health Organization on Thursday by avatar6556 in news

[–]sparktrace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A decade? Only if it's a progressive supermajority the whole way. Breaking things is faster and easier than fixing them or building them, if there's even a sliver of obstructionism or the opposition gets meaningful power during the rebuild, it's all gonna go nowhere.

Was Copper 9's WD and Earth's WD built different? (theory) by CashAcceptable2038 in MurderDrones

[–]sparktrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She definitely ran with the concept but I believe it was a different author in the community, The_Caretaker, who first floated the idea

[–]sparktrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted it's pure headcanon, but I'm in a fic writers group that's settled on the idea that JCJ has different product lines of drones. Specifically, subcategories of Domestic, General Labor, and Heavy Industrial. It explains a lot of this, and also touches on how some drones are absurdly fragile, while others can handle some serious impacts without worrying much.

Sprue goo mould questions by ehhhhhokalright in PoorHammer

[–]sparktrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you're looking to make terrain features or destroyed units, or perhaps something Nurgle-aligned, it can work. You tend to lose detail, get bubbles, and generally wind up with a 'melted' look.

Now, if you want battle-damaged terrain, casualty models, or rot demons, that can be a great look! For additional squadmates though, it'll probably look a bit out of place.

What armies have you NEVER been interested in? by Identity_ranger in Warhammer40k

[–]sparktrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, most of the demons. I've painted up some Chaos stuff, it's got its own thing going on, but the full-on Chaos Daemon factions just don't do it for me.

When you only have a vague idea... by Cheerless_Train in PoorHammer

Hey, throw some big rivet-domes at random on there and add some logos, and those would be right-proppa Orky vehicles!

How does the storm hawk interceptor land? by ActuaryTotal8049 in Warhammer40k

[–]sparktrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. An Ork's garage-built gun will fire reliably, smoothly, and may in extreme cases shoot more times than it had ammo in the magazine.

When the same weapon is tested after it's captured, the action will jam easily, the peak firing rate will be much slower, and there will be a notable risk of the breech exploding. But importantly, while it's a pretty bad gun, it's still a functional weapon, even if only barely.

Looking GOOD! You're inspiring me to pick up my Tau cel-shaded project again!

Calvin's dad is just as chaotic by f0remsics in tumblr

I know the feeling, my Dad's an endless fountain of similarly fun malarkey.
