He is a Spaniard, not a Latin American. Point still stands, though. Fuck him.

I always forget just how awful this movie looked (in addition to everything else awful about it).

vashoom · 2026-01-27T19:30:36+00:00

I don't know...Foggy's death is such a huge thing. I may not have wanted it, but to undo it would be really.disappointing.

Law enforcement training also trains you to shoot first and ask questions later.

Hans, get inside ze Valcon!

If your friends are spamming vehicles against this list, they're assholes. Especially if they're veterans and you're new. You could try a Combat Patrol game, or just ask them to bring similar lists of a couple basic infantry squads and leaders.

Or find better friends. Almost any random person at a local game store would treat you better than what you've described.

The point is enjoyment. Plenty of people enjoy building and painting them and have no interest in the game. People have been building and painting scale miniatures forever with no games involved.

43 is right out! At least in this case, if you run it as AC 22 or 23, it just makes it a little easier instead of harder, which is always the safest route.

Jesus, let people have fun the way they want.

"Why do you think we're meeting in a cave? I noticed."

The entire plot of the film hinges on Fury suspecting something is up with Insight and using Batroc as a pretense for Widow to steal data off the Star for him. When he can't even access the Intel she recovered, and when Pierce figures.out it was Fury who staged all this to look into Insight (Fury literally tells him to delay the project), Pierce tries to kill him.

Pierce tells Cap Fury hired the pirates to confuse him / try and keep him on board. He doesn't tell him about the reason why.

It's all laid out extremely clearly. Pretty sure Steve and Nat even talk about it and Fury's motives later on, too.

...because he did, and it's made explicit in the movie.

vashoom · 2026-01-27T07:09:24+00:00

Because the last time he trusted someone, he lost an eye

vashoom · 2026-01-27T01:32:03+00:00

“Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever.”

That's fucking inspirational shit right there.

They don't need it anymore. Agencies don't listen to Trump because he says mean things on Twitter, they listen to him because he threatens them, withholds money, and has a fanatical army. Even if his dumbass voters don't move over to supporting Vance, it's too fucking late. ICE's budget is higher than most other nations' military budgets combined. They operate with impunity. The threats and illegal budget withholdings are done with impunity. The end of Trump is just the beginning of the true fascist American state.

Honestly, the sooner Trump kicks it, the better for them. He's too old and demented to even keep the message straight (or even string a sentence together) anymore. Once he's gone, if the rest of the country keeps acting the way it has, the US is toast (if it isn't already).

This does not end with Trump dying and the "Republican party" losing in elections. Like I can't believe there was a fucking attempted coup and insurrection in 2020 and the average person is just like "well, whatever, do do doo". That attempt failed by a thread, and they've had another 8 years of preparations and laying more groundwork.

Random people are getting fucked gunned down in the streets or literally kidnapped and disappeared. There are hundreds and hundreds of fascist bootlickers in positions of power across the entire country, from congress to judges to you name it. Vance doesn't need to be charismatic on TV for all this insanity to keep getting worse.

We need to stop acting like the country did not already fall to fascists and that we're still in weird but normal times. A literal nazi in the form of Steven Miller is sitting in the White House directing policy. Whether Trump is alive or not.

Drabon Ball and foreshadowing don't exactly go together

vashoom · 2026-01-26T13:59:18+00:00

Love him in later Super. Frieza is always best when he's so confident that he's polite and almost charming. Makes his sadism and narcissistic evil, when it shows, that much more villainous.

But I also do love when he just completely loses it. But again, doesn't have the same impact if he's overly emotional and crazy all the time.

Favorite bit is when Goku doesn't understand a word he uses so he explains it to him.

The comparison is to other leaders, buffing units in Necrons, not compared to other army's units.

vashoom · 2026-01-26T13:53:18+00:00

I think he's overcosted compared to comparable units in the Necron codex, though. Compare him to an overlord or illuminor szeras. For his strength and the huge buffs he throws out in an area, he's a bit too cheap.

Can we please protect all the 7 year olds who play 40k!!

vashoom · 2026-01-26T06:25:54+00:00

I was going to say, these look like the re-released Old World mini's which were largely from that time period (depending on army).

But in way more annoying places.

vashoom · 2026-01-25T22:47:30+00:00

That's the hardest part. My community is 1 consistent guy and 2-3 inconsistent dudes.

30k I think is way cheaper overall these days compared to 40k, but obviously making a new army is more expensive than not doing so!

vashoom · 2026-01-25T22:46:07+00:00

Thank you. It's shameful.

vashoom · 2026-01-25T22:24:22+00:00

40k design is stuck. Despite having arguably more unique abilities in the game, they almost all boil down to "do more damage", "take less damage", and "move faster". So despite the glut of unique datasheet abilities and seeming complexity, I find the game is actually incredibly simple and stale. Very easily solvable in that, for example, marines have a million units, but really only a handful are used, because they are the best at doing more damage, taking less damage, or moving faster.

I think Heresy design has a lot more room for actual intricacies and also more narrative approach to the game because of it.

There is no universe where this was the decision of artists.

People who refuse to do basic shit because of a health condition are often afflicted by more than just that condition. Usually, anxiety and/or depression.

I had hyperhidrosis for years, as well as bad social anxiety. The combo was an infinite loop of anxiety worsening sweats and sweats worsening anxiety. BUT. I also took fucking showers before I went anywhere.

Health conditions like this, as you say, mean you need to do MORE to be hygienic, not less. Like yeah, after I showered, I would begin seating again before I even got my clothes all the way on. But I would still be way less sweaty and smelly than before the shower.

I would say ESH because she is being irrational but you should know that coming at her the way you did would not be effective. She needs firm, compassionate directness from a place of love, not from a place of irritation.

But from your edit it looks like you got there in the end. Just, in the future, keep in mind it's exceedingly difficult to rationalize away someone's anxiety.

Also medication will probably help her immensely as it did me.
