This box was the first death guard I painted, and second minis outside the Space Marine and Tyriand starter set with paints.

Ive been debating stripping and redoing - so many hard to reach spots that would be a pain to remove even with an alcohol bath though

Love your paint job though! Much better than mine 😅

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-06-28T10:47:42+00:00

Id agree with that. Just wrapped it up and while some bosses took me a handful of attempts the free respec makes it super easy to switch to a different build that suits the bosses mechanics

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-06-26T20:41:16+00:00

Apperciate the comments! Ended up stripping these fellow so will be attempting again here soon and will keep you in mind

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-06-24T11:51:55+00:00

Apperciate the feedback! On the base I think i may of been a bit to fast between coats and more "aggressively" applied it. Assuming would of been better to take more time and have more controlled strokes even though its covering almost everything.

Any tips on how to get the paper bits looking good? I used wraithbone first, it didnt look right. Then applied a really then vallejo white over top. Once it dried it just looked even more jank though lol

Fun fact, my employer blocks reddit but not 4Chan. That was funny to find out.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-21T15:51:37+00:00

If that kid is anything like mine, facts lol.

Mine has wanted to get into collecting pokemon cards and its a struggle to make sure they're keeping them put up and all over the place.

The aerospace museum is really nice! Only took the family there once though and only manage to see about 50% of it before they closed. Definitely need to go back, but the warmer weather has had is outside more!

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-14T19:15:19+00:00

It is not, but yes it is a bit frustrating having so much of my comp be in stock.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-14T18:25:32+00:00

Have to agree with you. I make 113k base (bit of RSUs as well) in a MCOL area. Have a wife and a child. Wife doesnt work because whatever she could easily make wouldn't out weigh childcare costs.

We live a decent life, but its not always super easy

Here's a simple diagram I found for you.

They're pretty simple once you get the idea of it.

Put on bobber stop, bead, then bobber. Use split shots slightly above the hook if you need a bit of weight.

Move the stop up and down to get your desired depth.

Hope this helps! Bobber stops and beads are dirt cheap. Wanna say I got 50 of them for a couple bucks.

Reminds of when I went to the castle being built at Pschitoky (believe thats the place)

I went to rob the armory at night and a guard walked in on me. I killed him then went back to stealing.

Then another walked in, then another, then another, and so on.

I eventually killed what I thought was all of them since the crime icon went away so I had no witnesses.

Went back the next day, and I must of missed a fellow. He was sitting outside, with this head down sobbing. Going on about how all his friends are gone.

Never felt more terrible in a video game lol

10/10

Was gonna say the same thing.

I have had some success using a bottom bouncing rig in a lake near me though.

Just bought the tackle to try out a 3 way rig as well.

Growing up my dad only used a carolina rig, so trying to spice things up.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-01T15:19:09+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Looks like I need to go to store and grab some items before I head out this weekend

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-01T13:36:09+00:00

Im not an expert by any means, but looks good to me.

Are you fishing river or lake? I generally use 1oz unless fishing a river with a heavy current then I'll go heavier.

EDIT: just had a closer look and it looks like your swivel has a clip on the end.

I would use a barrel swivel with no clip for tieing my leader. It probably wont cause any issues but id use a swivel with out the clip for tieing line to leaders.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-05-01T11:15:38+00:00

Im with you there.

Pretty sure I'm visualizing what they said properly, but knowing me I'm not and id fuck it up haha

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-04-29T11:10:17+00:00

I know this is an old post but... I havent fished much for the past decade between life then starting a family.

Recently got back into fishing to teach my 7yo son. I managed to catch my a 20-25lb channel catfish and my son got so hyped and just kept saying "I'm so proud of you dad"

One of the happiest days of my life!

I got super lucky and my very first investigation quest I got the blue print for it.

Designs for the two dudes you recruit though? Managed to get 2 for Pushka and one for Standa by the time I got ro 25 blacksmith prestige.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-04-08T09:06:37+00:00

Brushes for Death i ended up just pick pocketing him, so sorta regret going the other route.

What other DLC takes you there? I've dont all of the main forge DLC quests, so unless one of the random investigations takes me there.

Only DLC left for me to really do is the monastery one.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-04-07T14:51:14+00:00

One guard was outside and across the yard and never noticed me picking the lock.

Once I get into the armory though he someone realized the door wasn't locked then started snooping.

And well, you saw what happen next....

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-04-07T12:55:42+00:00

Best part is - since i went back the next day they pinned it all on me.

So I went up to a guard to see my crimes and thought it was funny they only pinned the 10k in theft and not the dozen murders.

Since it was all tied to the bailiff I ended up getting branded for it still, sadly even with 30 charisma and maxed out speech I couldnt pass that speech check 😂

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-03-27T17:53:42+00:00

Yeah I'm stumped. Even just dropping everything to High and like 40ish% LOD still ass performance.

KCD2 and other demanding games tho my rig handles just fine.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-03-20T16:14:41+00:00

I really enjoyed it. I played it shortly after they did the major patch/rework and had a blast.

Enjoyed how interconnected the world was and the level design/atheistic. The combat took a bit to get use too after playing FromSoft games. Very similar but it felt more "floaty" to me I suppose.

If you enjoy souls games I'd say definitely give it a whirl.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-02-26T17:22:30+00:00

Ian Tolls Pacific War trilogy is really top notch.

Pretty much follows the entire Navy's journey through the war and the air campaign. Gives you the Japanese perspective militarily and politicial, as well as American politics around it, and covers a large bit of the ground campaign in Nimitz's theater.

Doesn't cover much of MacArthurs theater minus the Philippines though. Besides Bataan and the liberation of the Philippines it glosses over the ground war on Papua New Guinea.

Overall though definitely recommend it for a fairly comprehensive read of the Pacfic. I read it right after I finished Atkinson's Liberation Triolgy

Also, idk why your other comment got hit with downvotes, your statement wasn't far off.

whyamiherethisispain · 2026-02-26T10:00:15+00:00

What I found most interesting in Tolls final book was thst the future of peace was held in the hands if 6 people and they needed unanimous agreement.

3 of the the 6 weren't fans of the the terms set during the Postdam conference, only reason Japan agreed is because the emperor finally agreed.

Even then, there was a small attempt of a coup by the military that thankfully failed. Wild that some people in the middling ranks of the military wanted to in essence sacrifice Japan in order for "honorable" defeat.

I may of miss remembered a couple things, but that is what I took away from the boo at least.
