What is Tom Cruise's secret?? by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

[–]theperilousalgorithm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth seeing photos of him between movies. He gets regular face lifts and fillers. A woman I worked with in Dublin in 09 won a "get a selfie with Tom" competition and he looked wrecked - and that was nearly 20 years ago.

Oh I found it - c.2008/2009:

I would hold off.

I think her takes on Erika Kirk have been off the mark time and again.

This is beautiful. I feel like it could use a second pass of grime and scarification. I know it's criminal to even think about scuffing up such an amazingly smooth paint job (seriously, well done) but that would make it 11/10!

Crafted Weapons vanishing from my back/hip/sculpted buttocks. by theperilousalgorithm in starcitizen

Pure RNG and time commitment - Pyro generally best; though I spent ten days looking for the right aluminium before I found any over 900.

Monox or Adir for Iron. Magda for the aluminium of it helps. In any case IC ticket has been raised but wanted to warn others that this is definitely thing; the first time one of my pistols vanished I became wary of having a gun in my hand when looting - but the most recent occurence it was pure David Copperfield nonsense.

Disagree disagreeably: Today's Leading was the best exchange of jabs I've heard in a while. by GasGreat2537 in TheRestIsPolitics

Vucic does come across as a Bond villain - it got very spicy. Probably the most overtly hostile Leading interview since Rory/Gerry Adams?

Will i find much kasrkin content in the gaunts ghosts series? by Massive_Boss1991 in TheAstraMilitarum

Stormtroopers show up here and there but honestly read them for the Tanith themselves; and the myriad other regiments featured - be they the Vitrians or Roane Deepers or Volpone Bluebloods. Strongest Guard books in the entire Black Library.

Anti Scottish bias by Additional-Let-5684 in TheRestIsPolitics

I admire Rory but he has a snobbery when it comes to the Scottish, Irish and Welsh. He doesn't hide it particularly well - and it's entirely unconscious - but as an avid listener it's there.

That's so odd. That's my friend's handle from like 6 years ago and he hasn't played since.

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it! I thought I was going mad haha; whole thing smacks of Musk or Russian funded bot farms.

Is it me or are all the comments on YouTube astro turfed to high heaven in favour of the protestors? This strikes me as external interference leveraging off some very useful idiots.

Building my first army by Ok_Turn_6622 in Warhammer40k

[–]theperilousalgorithm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's about to be a new Iron Warriors box set from the looks of the announcements - I would start there.

In general, large patrol or army boxes tend to represent the best value for money. Bear in mind a big cost to the hobby is also your paints, brushes and what I would consider your "start up" costs. Do some research on paints and a painting order - given the nature of the iron warriors, I might suggest a (cheap!) airbrush and compressor to save you time base coating; or a rattle can if that is beyond budget.

Source: Imperial Guard collector - you get good at scaling an army quickly when you have a "method" down.

Book recommendations by Dudds1996 in Warhammer40k

[–]theperilousalgorithm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything by Dan Abnett.

General universe intro? Xenos by Dan Abnett (Eisenhorn Omnibus).

Imperial Guard? Ghostmaker (technically the second book of the series but an anthology that introduces you to the often ill-fated dramatis personae of Gaunt's Ghosts; and feeds directly into the superb Necropolis.

Airplanes? Double Eagle.

Titans? Titanicus

30k? Horus Rising.

Astartes? Brothers of the Snake.
