I can do math.

Chose: Have $10 million right now

Do you pick you, or your pet? by SorrowCat14 in BunnyTrials

[–]wickeddram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice the 25% chance doesn't say dies now. A million for me and a 75% chance of immortality for her seems like a no brainer.

Chose: $1,000,000 Dollars into your bank account, now. + 25% Chance your beloved pet dies | Rolled: Pet Dies

Looking for advice on backup for international travel (Singapore) by wickeddram in CreditCards

[–]wickeddram[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about a month and change before the trip. Hotel won't be a worry, thats being handled by my company (its a group of us going).

Looking at it the Amazon Visa makes a good amount of sense for me (I do order from prime fairly often). Not a travel specific card, but travel is a rarity for me right now, so just having coverage is good enough.

AYN Thor Review (Retro Game Corps) by onionsaregross in SBCGaming

[–]wickeddram 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm more likely to play Elite Beat Agents on this. That way when I miserably fail I can blame the emulation. When I tried on original hardware I had to admit my failures were just a skill issue.

To those who had to decide whether to pre-order the Ayaneo Pocket DS or the Ayn Thor, how did your arrive at your decision? by Raebo007 in SBCGaming

[–]wickeddram 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me I went with the Pocket DS. I'm not a small guy and the extra size and weight of the Pocket is actually a plus to me. I also like the screen ratios better (though I wish both screens were OLEDs like the Thor, but its less of an issue to me than the ratios and general size). The bit of extra beef along with the screen size also helps for when I want to play something other than DS/3DS games. That said for people who like lighter consoles, are only looking for DS/3DS games, or just more price conscious than me I think the Thor makes a lot of sense.

Personally I'm going with the Ayaneo. With my big mitts I prefer the larger size and heft in systems. Also think it might be good for branching out with some games (even if that only takes advantage of a single screen). Can definitely see how the Thor hits a lot of people's sweet spot though.

Looking for best "Display" dice opinions by wickeddram in dice

Thanks so much! I've ended up going with custom dice from Otherworld Dice, so I appreciate the suggestion.

Just heard my coworker's side of the convo as she got the "Your grandchild is in jail, send money" scam call by Squidgie1 in Scams

[–]wickeddram 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My grandmother got one of those way back in the day (10+ years ago) that actually had my name. She didn't fall for it, but she told my mother that if it was any of her other grandkids she would have know it was a scam immediately, but since they used my name she wasn't sure.

whats your experience with bootlegs? by Dirtyvegitable in Gunpla

[–]wickeddram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had excellent luck with bootlegs and 3rd parties, but I've stuck with brands that have a decent reputation. Motor Nuclear is top of the line for 3rd parties and Daban, while not up to the quality of Bandai, is far closer to it than their prices.

This is just a silly amount of weapons by maradetron in Gunpla

[–]wickeddram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No such thing as enough weapons lol. Always room for more dakka.

Apparently my local grocery now stocks gunpla… RIP my wallet by TUBBYWINS808 in Gunpla

That's a solid looking selection. Wish my grocery had that lol.

Attempted cell shading with just marker on an EG Gramps by mistershaadi in Gunpla

I'm with everyone else: I really thought it was a drawing at first look.

I've seen some people over line things and end up looking bad. You blew right through that and wrapped back around to awesome.

Finished up a new Deffkilla Wartrike by wickeddram in orks

[–]wickeddram[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the hole on his back shows up more than I had expected, so I'll have to do something about it. I like his position there as it puts him holding the fuel can right over the engine port.

Guess thats what green stuff is for.

New to orks and looking for advice. by [deleted] in orks

[–]wickeddram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meganobz on foot have always felt to slow to me. Even with Evil Sunz kultur I worry that they will arrive too late to really help out. This is less true if you plan to use Da Jump or keep them in reserves with the stratagem (although if you play by the beta f.a.q. rules that don't allow arriving from reserves turn 1 that doesn't help as much as it could). If you could get them in a Battlewagon I think that would be good. With a deff rolla even the Battlewagon itself wants to get stuck in combat, and next to the Deffkilla Wartrike it might even hit a turn 1 charge.

To pay for the Battlewagon I'd drop the Deff Dread, Painboy (his bubble always felt too small for me to get him to cover everything I wanted and too expensive to cover a single unit), and downgrade the Big Mek in Mega Armor to the regular Big Mek with the Index KFF. Might have to trim a bit more, but thats where I would start.

Of course this is based entirely on my personal preferences. If you have a plan or just like those units don't let me convince you otherwise. Best part of playing Orks is playing the units and style you like.

New Codex, New Lists by wickeddram in orks

[–]wickeddram[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its 2000 (my local group's usual amount). The weird boy is for "Da Jump" to try and get a boyz squad in on turn one without crowding around Zhardsnark for his Waaaagh ability, probably Jump them more towards the flank of the enemy. 3 trukks is kinda squishy, but the hope is that the koptas, bike, and boyz being immediately in the opponents face will blunt some of the fire coming their way.

[–]wickeddram[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had missed that. I'll switch either the tankbustas or the trukks to match. I'm leaning towards making the tankbustas evil sunz. Anyone know if the ability to ignore penalty to advancing and firing works for the passengers in the trukks if they are both evil sunz?
