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.

Big Eurovision fan but not watching after they allowed Israel to rig it several times in a row now and will punish everyone else for Team Israel's behaviour.

>>47241
I still watch Eurovision but I just take a toilet break when Israel™'s on.
People cry about Israel competing but Israel gets too many televotes to prove that they hate it. So what is the point of voting for a country you hate? They wouldn't even fucking give Saint Mariam Shengelia a chance!

its not real. israel has tech with backdoors to rig elections. they can rig eurovision too.

>>47245
then why are you denying the fact that Mariam Shengelia was better than Yuval Raphael? Mariam had put in more to her vocals. Israeli entries stopped being good after 2021

Fuck, didn’t embed.
Here’s another example.

just do judo

>Wtf even is this sport and how do I get good at it?
What you are looking at is collegiate or freestyle amateur wrestling. You learn it by going to a gym that specializes in teaching it. Look up your national governing body for the sport, they usually have a list of licensed gyms where you can learn. Wrestling used to be a more widespread sport but its become more middle class, high school, and college focused, so depending on where you are, it can be hard to find good places to learn.

>Is it better to just learn BJJ?
BJJ is a form of wrestling. If you open up any old book on wrestling that lists types of wrestling, you'll see jiu jitsu listed there. Wrestling is the oldest and most widespread sport in human history so there are a dozen different varieties with their own rules and traditions. The first thing you need to figure out is why you want to learn it and find competent coaches.

looks good

Yes

>rainbowdash.net is still up
>still running the same ancient version of statusnet
amazing. I also remember it got banned by the Mastodon HOA for some reason

building communism is too hard fuck it just turn everyone into ponies

Socialism is mentioned at least once in the text of Fallout Equestria.

Tamers keeps releasing banger after banger
it's nice to see him returning to his SU roots too

>>47127
What is SU?

>>35123
Good analysis.

>>35123
It's just a good thriller with somewhat of a theme of class, but the fact that it doesn't put forth a rigorous historical materialist thesis or an "alternative" to the situation depicted doesn't make it a bad piece of art. This is like a stereotype of an annoying white leftist review of media.

I know I'm bumping an old ass thread, but what did you guys think of Mickey 17?

>>47204
It was good. Very worker-coded. I liked the ending too, kinda Star Trek.

>>37903
It's very funny when leftoids call Star Trek woke and Communist when the entire premise of the show is about "benevolent imperialism" and the franchise's most iconic villains include "yellow peril" warriors and 50s Red Scare style "Dirty Commie Body Snatcher Aliens". (Still good though and all popular art is inevitably gonna be fundamentally reactionary but yeah come on you don't need to lie to yourself like this).

>>47058
*yawn*

>>47058

The real premise of Star Trek is that it has no premise at all, it's just a writer's free-for-all where an episode can be about literally anything - spaceship battles, courtroom drama, medieval jousts, cowboy shootouts, detective noir, parallel universes, time travel, etc. Probably less than 10% of all Star Trek episodes have anything to do with trekking through the stars.

Feels like I'm necroing this thread but Redlettermedia just uploaded a "part-1 review" of the first season from DS9. I watched it, and it's pretty great.

Really like seeing these guys reminiscing about the time when you could watch good shit on the television.

Star Trek is a dead franchise at this point. It will never return to being good because being "progressive" is now the core part of it's marketing DNA, and being "progressive" now means being a dysgenic fucking Tumblrite retard with 4 personality disorders, autism, adhd, DID who thinks that being professional or working hard is "ableism".
TNG is definitely Communistic, Majel said that Gene was a Maoist (probably part of the woo 70s Maoist left) so you can definitely see Communistic traits in the world building of the TOS films and especially TNG, but remember, back then the positive image of being a Communist pushed by the Communist world was literally, people working hard, people being very professional, uplifiting stuff like ballet, opera, classical music, classical literature etc up notice that in Classic Star Trek, TV is a dead medium and people do classical arts instead, this is because it's supposed to be an enlightened society of professionals, the people that Fraiser Crane wants to be, but instead NuTrek is all neurodivergent, incompetent spastics, meanwhile Wokies cheer it on while the franchise doesn't even hit 100k viewers according to streaming numbers.
It's also just clear they are not interested in making Star Trek. 7 shows now and not a single fucking one has been a classic actual Star Trek show where people act like actual Star Trek characters.

His name is Bluegrass, and he kind of started out as the mascot for my band, Bluegrass And The Bolsheviks. Originally he was a bunny but my friend said he looked like ralsei so i redesigned him to be a goat and gave him a lil bow

Kio estas pgdp.net?

>>45477
Ĝi estas retpaĝo, kie oni povas provlegi librojn por "Project Gutenberg". Iu afiŝas libron al ĝi, kun bildoj (po paĝo) kaj tekstoj transskribitaj per komputilo (po paĝo). Sekve oni korektas la transskribaĵon laŭ la bildoj. La transskribado ne estas perfekta, ekzemple: ofte mi vidas ke la "j" finaĵo aperas kiel punktokomo ("plej" aperas kiel "ple;"). Ĉiu paĝo estas provlegota trifoje, per tri malsamaj personoj. Sekve oni priskribas la apero de la teksto (diklitera, kursiva, ktp.), dufoje. Finfine oni metas la paĝojn kune je libro kaj sendas ĝin al Project Gutenberg.

Bedaŭrinde la retpaĝo kaj ĝiaj instrukcioj estas en la angla, do vi devas kompreni ĝin se vi volas helpi, sed se vi ja parolas la anglan, mi rekomendas ke vi provu ĝin, estas kelkaj esperantlingvaj libroj kiuj bezonas vian helpon!
