Probably will get a Dark Heresy campaign because the guys who made Rogue Trader are seemingly going through the RPG books for easy content, the RT CRPG is the ruleset from the TTRPG, the inquisition one looks set to be too from what i've seen, would be weirder if they didn't do DH.

I have Tyranids as a proper army but haven't played a regular game in years. I mainly play kill team now.

>>47019
wanted to put together a Tau kill team but at my glances they seem to be trying to push Tau into using the kroot or the bug guys as a kill team, which is meh, whatever for me.
Another frustrating thing for me was searching for local groups, my city is pretty decent, has a lot of nerd shops and GW shop and shit so thought this would be easy, right? NOPE. every group in my locale is locked behind some shitty social media site… some have websites, but they're just landing pages trying to push you onto their fake and gay social media pages.
People are so obsessed with social media clout these days it's so pathetic, the only analogy i can think of to this would be like, 'you want to find out about local book clubs and reading groups? sure, we'll tell you all about it but only if you come in to the casino, relevant information will be posted nowhere else but the front of the slot machines at my members only, full credit card and personal details required to sign-up private casino.'
Fuckers.

GW used to sell a Tau kill team box that would have been what you are looking for, you can still find rules for it online.

But getting ahold of one now might be difficult, maybe you can find decent 3d printed proxies online.
>searching for local groups
I have avoided putting up with this by getting all the minis for smaller scale games and asking friends if they want to play with me. It's easy to get some of your buddies into it, when you can provide all the miniatures yourself, instead of trying to get them to buy a whole 2k points army.

>>47037
Yea, i was told that this team is being phased out of Kill Team, Next year is 25th anniversary of Tau though so i am thinking they might do a bunch of releases and a bit of a narrative push with them. Here's hoping anyway.
I'm going to get some of the little fire warrior guys then maybe a suit to paint for now, at least. Thinking of doing them in camo and such, like some in naval camo, some in green, should look pretty good.
>pic
They are all painted what in the promo's, which is, ehhh not great to begin with but on their website they also put them on white backgrounds (also large portions are always sold out). Why are GW like this? they are a top traded company? Legitimately farcical, someone tell me under what context this is a good way to sell a product, as compared to one of the few non-white examples pictured (still a dogshit colour and not even the same Tau tan colour they make them in their pictures?!

I understand why this company gives people aneurysms now, already.

That's like saying you don't use an apples to grow apple trees, you use apples seeds, while apples are perfectly fine for apple tree planting.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.


Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)

Is it finished? Might check it out

it's too performative and solipsistic for me, the way the dialogue is written and the characters talk to each other like they're all just exchanging very rehearsed monologues instead of actually communicating, the kevin smith style of writing. takes me right out of it.

That's her reputation anon. I liked the first few seasons as they were airing but that show became pretty much the poster child of emasculated, histrionic, sloppy millennial media and it's all people associate her with. I don't think it's fair either.

Reading TADC discourse and it's incredible the vast majority of people (referring to adults here) have such trouble understanding a fucking cartoon, but expecting people on social media/imageboards to not have autism or a two-digit I.Q is too much I guess.

I dont want to defent them too much, because from what I heard the TV writing industry is incredibly nepotistic, but also the result is rarely one persons vision, but a patchwork of dozen writers forced to work together, mangled further by scrutiny of marketeers and financiers.

>>46921
A lot of big TV series have what is called a "showrunner" as a kind of lead creative, and while the show might not be the product of any single writer, it is usually all in line with the general vision of the showrunner.

>>46932
If shit like the recent Star Treks are anything to go by it seems like even that position has been severely diluted. I wonder if the concentration of capital has made it so that you've got way too many of these "showrunner" level people, and so they get crammed into projects, leading to a loss of focus.

>>46913
I get that this is to a certain degree a factory pipeline, and that getting jobs is often more about nepotism and cronyism, but at the end of the day it's still supposed to be some kind of business and the creation of a show is supposed to be a profit-making venture. And making a profit often involves pleasing the fans and your target audience. So, it is still baffling that you would hand off the project to a person you know hates the material and even has open disdain for fantasy as a genre, and would give them free reign to express these views in the show. And do this over and over and over again. The whole "fantasy boom" was an insane shitshow to me. Game of Thrones basically handed them a license to print money, and they probably could have with a bunch of lower budget Xena-style shows, but were literally too incompetent to NOT make a flop.

>>47028
It's a problem outside of shows tbh. Production is being run by Business Majors who think of production of any kind in terms of numbers and spreadsheets divorced from the actual process of production. In Marx's terms you could say they are entirely preoccupied with human labor in the abstract vs concrete labor specific to the actual things being made. They don't actually recognize that people like a show or a pair of boots for the specific work that's put into them that you can see in the details and in the experience of using them. It's all just numbers and spreadsheets to them.

And you are just not gonna easily find people who actually like the genre among the class that showrunners belong to (in most cases) because the appeal of these stories is usually too outside the box or personal. The suits running things usually only care for specific idiosyncratic stuff when it's theirs. It's seemingly very common for these people to be neurodivergent in some way that they can't relate to other people very well. If you are a capitalist that is actually a benefit because it means you won't have as many scruples about exploiting people. But at the same time they recognize these genres and stories are popular and culturally significant (which they care about because it means potentially profit), so you end up with a lot of them seemingly being obsessed but not really "getting it." Look at Peter Thiel's completely nonsensical interpretations of LotR for example. Being that kind of blood sucking vampire alienates you from other people so much that your attempt at understanding popular media ultimately becomes a rorschach test for your own psychosis.

<As capitalist, he is only capital personified. His soul is the soul of capital. But capital has one single life impulse, the tendency to create value and surplus-value, to make its constant factor, the means of production, absorb the greatest possible amount of surplus-labour. [3]
<Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks. The time during which the labourer works, is the time during which the capitalist consumes the labour-power he has purchased of him. [4]

>Never lend money to friends, family, or significant others. If someone asks, just say you’re broke blame a credit card bill or another excuse.

Or you could just say "No, I don't feel comfortable with that." You don't have to lie to your friends and family and significant others, you can just tell them honestly that you don't feel comfortable loaning them money. Sometimes I have chosen to give money to people I care about when they needed help and I was in a position to help them, but I didn't lend it - I didn't expect to get it back or get anything in return, I just gave it to them. In some cases it helped them and in other cases they squandered it, but either way I don't regret anything.

>If you’re debating whether to "wrap it," think carefully. Even if she claims to be on the pill, mistakes happen—and 18 years of child support is no joke. That money won’t just go to the kid; it’ll fund her nails, hair, vacations, and car payments while you’re left with no say.

Why would it be an internal dilemma whether or not to wear a condom? If you don't feel comfortable consenting to some sexual act, you are not obligated to do it. You realize that, right? You should never, ever let yourself feel pressured into having sex, especially unsafe sex, and it doesn't matter if the pressure is external or external, whether it is your own fear of missing out or her feelings of entitlement or insecurity that are pressuring you into having unsafe sex, either way it is coercion and you should never let yourself be coerced into sex by anyone.

>No degree? Get a job and work hard. Plenty of non-grads (e.g., construction workers) outearn art history majors working at Starbucks. But stats show grads usually earn more over time—so if you go, do it smartly.

Or you could also go to college and get a degree - there is no age limit at colleges, you can go there and get an education at any time, you could take a couple of online courses part-time while holding down some job and earn money and get an education at the same time, it doesn't have to be a binary choice whether you want to be a "college guy" or a "blue collar guy" - you don't have to live your live according to these rigid simplistic social identities, you can just do whatever you want, it's entirely up to you and it's your life after all.

I think both of you give solid advice. I would agree more with op but I know I didn't completely follow that advice in my own life and I do agree it is a bit too conformist. Personally I was a neet for portions of my life and while I don't regret it I most likely would try to things differently if I had another shot. In the end I think luck plays a big role in how our lives play out though.

>>47016
>while I don't regret it I most likely would try to things differently if I had another shot

But you know you will never have another shot, you know that it is impossible to relive your life with prescient knowledge of future events. And even if you could, whatever altruistic goals you have in mind now will probably go out the window very quickly after you've destroyed everything in the world that you don't like and become a Bitcoin quadrillionaire and Emperor of Earth. If you want to be a better person you have to start by accepting yourself for who you are right now, at this very moment, not some fictional ideal version of yourself that you dreamed up.

>>47018
More of what I was saying when I wrote that was to do things differently to try to be more normal. You know be like independent at younger age, have regular employment and a normal social life maybe get in a relationship here and there. I wouldn't be looking to become a millionaire or emperor of earth just a supposed "normal" person that's all. Again I don't really regret too much the things I did do maybe I just feel a bit unfulfilled or behind in life. But maybe I would've felt this way if I had been more "normal" anyways. And you are right, at least I think you are, about accepting yourself at the moment in order to change even if I'm not trying too hard at the moment.

>>47021

If anything in your past had been done even slightly differently you would not exist right now; you would be someone else. Why would you ever want to erase yourself and become someone else? To be normal? What does that even mean? Your self as you are now is the most valuable thing you have and you want to trade it away just to fit in with this piece of shit world? Just be yourself, god damn.

My sister just taught me an easy recipe for a greek yogurt dough pizza, which is perfect for me since I normally hate baking.
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1)Mix in bowl for a little while with a spoon, once it's more of a stable dough, switch to mixing it with your hand, rolling the dough around the bowl.

2)Dust the table or other surface you'll manipulate the dough on with flour, take the dough out of the mixing bowl and put it on the surface. Gently push down on the dough ball with your hands, but don't pull it. Once you've pushed the dough down, dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough. Once flat, crimp the sides of the dough to make a crust.
3)Lightly oil or apply parchment paper to a baking pan, transfer the flattened dough to the pan and add your tomato sauce and toppings. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) or 200 (C). Insert the baking pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, then rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
This feeds one person if you're very hungry.

Bulk ordering directly from farms is a kind of anti-consumerist socialism, I guess? Its probably better quality but you need a big freezer or lots of friends to share with

anons who live outside am*rica what do you use to substitute graham crackers in crusts?

i bought a bottle of kewpie mayo, opened it and didn't use it for like a month or two. i read that kewpie mayo lasts longer so i didn't care much and today i used it again but noticed some of the mayo had become yellower. i only noticed it after eating it and didn't taste any off flavors or odors. could it be just dried up mayo up on the side? don't wanna throw it away and have to purchase another one.

you'll gain the same amount of weight whenever you eat, but you may get a slightly better effect on muscle vs fat gain if you eat right after training, and if you constrain your meals to a shorter window (intermittent fasting) you can help stimulate more fat burning.

>>46851
Isnt it opposite, you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?

I‘m training to fuck mid air. It‘s more difficult than I thought. At this time I‘m lifting a 60kg ball and hold it for around 2 minutes. My goal is to eventually reach 90kg for a couple of minutes to make the real application effortless. Anyone else doing this? Any tips?

Be me try
>Try to build upper body for years
>Do push ups and bench and light cardio and have no results
>Do start lifting and focusing on pull muscle groups more
>Noticeable result in days
>Leaner tighter chest and slowly shrinking gut too
What gives? Are pull exercises and lifting just superior? Is something wrong with me or are push ups/benching a meme?

>>46999
Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes, there's a reason people lift.
