It's always funny to hear anecdotes Also, it's tickles me that "ok money" is more than what a senior doctor or specialist makes over here. Hell, I make a quarter of that. Anecdotal observation; I've played with alot of people, and the minority over here has been suburbanites, most have been from what is the "boonies" here and the vast majority have **** jobs, way below the median. Funnily, the first girl that started playing with us became a lawyer though, which is crazy since she is dyslexic. But, good thing were socialists, we could get RPG books tax free As for women, I've met a few, but the vast, vast majority has been into LARP more than pen and paper. I've yet to meet anyone that's not pasty as **** though So what you're saying is... you're an advocate for rule zero... My group first got into D&D quite late, we started with Warcraft and then Wheel of Time, but didn't touch D&D proper until I started a campaing around 8 years ago or so, in 3.5e. That said, the rules weren't nearly as bad as Warhammer 40K: Black Crusade. It was still immensly fun though, but that was despite the horrible ruleset. It was the first edition where they let players loose on the talent tree without any rank restrictions, so you'd immediately get the best über murder talents from the getgo instead of after 6 months campaigning. And the Corruption/Gifts from the Gods system was quite bonkers aswell... That said, rules lawyering is very much why I hate 5e. There are so many little fine details in spells and abilities that you have to remind people of all the time that I grow weary of it. It's a bit better when playing it online since people can read the ability/spell blurb without having to reach for a book. Such as Unarmed strikes are "melee weapon attacks," but they are not "attacks with a melee weapon" because they are not actually made with a physical weapon. There's a subtle difference and it matters RAW. Edit; Have you read anything about the OGL 1.1?

Johnny Depp trials; Complete disinterest, even annoyance at people caring. OGL hullabaloo; FEED ME EVERYTHING! MOAR! .. Yeah, I've been binging every youtube vid, reddit post and such that I've come across. @Gromnir Hey, you ought to have a lil' bit of insider info here; Why, seemingly, are there so many lawyers playing dnd? Is it the rules-lawyering-thing, there being a lack of a board for DnD rules lawyering that y'all go for the "next best thing"?

Well, if you demolish your nuclear powerplants to rely and Russian gas, and then are no longer able to get said Russian gas you need to get power from somewhere...

Motorized watercraft are illegal in my lake since it is a water source, I drink straight from it just filtering out silt basically, but rowing boats and electric motors, perfect for fishing Swimming? Hell yes. Spend some time in the sauna or hot tub, and then jump into the water, year round, it's pure awesome. Walking into the lake in early spring is generally terrible, I'll agree with you there, tonnes of silt, leaves and such is quite icky. Easilly solved though. Bathe all year round

*Laughs in lake right next to my house* It does have its drawbacks though, but mostly perks.

To be fair, I doubt your skillset is the actual problem. It's not that much different than what used to be around in a way, the problem is telling the computer in the car afterwards that you've done something and that things aren't broken. I have an aquaintance that changed a broken sensor on his car, changed it for a new one and had the car in limp home mode until he could get a shop to clear the computer even though he fixed it.
-
I'd generally agree, though I refuse to work on anything newer than a 98 Volvo. The 940 series is practially 80's tech in all the ways that count. In this case though, I could do 99% of the work from his computer and then bringing an USB stick to the garage and injecting it through a service computer. I don't even know what car it is since there aren't any badges on it and some flared bodywork and spoilers. The only impressive thing he's done is make it rear wheel drive, that got me to raise an eyebrow.
-
Well, he did promise he'd get me something for helping out - he hates working with computers, I'm pretty certain I'm getting paid in smackerels.
-
I helped a friend out a bit with his car build. It's fairly a fairly modern car, and he's ripped out all the old electronics and is putting some new stuff in. So... I messed with it a bit. I loaded up a new indicator sound effect for him... Yeah. I'm five. His own fault for using computerized indicators instead of proper relays

Had about 4 hours of sauna and cold dips in the lake with a couple of mates, it was lovely, but I wish I could've had some drinks.

Glad to hear from you, stay strong and best of luck

I did read through 6th edition if I remember correctly, I have read through all the Fantasy Flight pen and paper rule books though None of the campaign books though. But GW killed off that partnership ofcourse, because it was good stuff. As a fan of "if the emperor had a text to speech device" (If you don't know of it, you should look it up, it's... *Chefs kiss* Amazing) and other Warhammer fan works, I am legally obliged to say that GW sucks major ass. Easilly the equal of Disney and Take-Two in their dickishness. Heh, they're worse than Dark Angels, and that's saying alot One thing I really love using Alpha Legion for was as final adversaries in campaigns for Dark Heresy, they fit it to a T with building their cults. Well, White Scars wouldn't deploy heavy support squads either lorewise, gotta go fast! And skimmers, bikes and assault vehicles are too damn fragile nowadays for them to be worth the points

Technically you'd need two of each main gun, and each of the carapace weapons, so you'd end up at 3700$ You can't know if you might want to use twinlinked Volcano cannons or twin linked Plasma Annihilators Not to mention the laser blasters or apocalypse missile pods! In Swedish crowns? About 2 months wages XD Sure, well they'd need the speed since as far as I know they don't field any devastators. Worst part though is that vehicles are ****ed in 9th edition from what I can tell. Bolters can take out a friggin Baneblade, I mean c'mon! Pfft, stealing my troops? Careful that I don't go full Creed on you and infiltrate a Warlord titan behind that inconspicous pile of rubble on your flank XD I'm pretty certain that GW would come down on you hard with accusations of child molestation for that. https://spikeybits.com/2021/05/games-workshop-opens-the-war-against-3d-artists.html

Well, 2700$ is just the bare minimum, body, head, single set of guns for a Warlord Titan. Where did you find the 2500$ version? I remember seeing something like that for a long while ago, but recently the most expensive one I've seen is the 1700$ version for just the body, plus addons. I played a couple of "demos" with a few mates that I played pnp rpgs with, but buying my own miniatures was always financially out of reach. I've always been a sucker for White Scars when it comes to the official chapters, but I've always had a preference for the Storm Wardens from the fantasy flight Deathwatch game. Or Deathwatch themselves I'm listening to the Horus Heresy novels right now actually, listening to the Fulgrim book at the moment
-
I've always loved Warhammer 40k, but I never got into the miniatures stuff, but then someone told me about Forgeworld having titans in like, giant, scale and I thought to myself; "That! That is something I'd love to paint!", and then I looked up the price. 2700$ for a full kit is a bit much, just a tad. It'd be frikkin' cool though, if I ever won on a lottery that I never play.

Happy birthday!
