Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah, but I like to play PC games.

Homo_Stupidus,

I agree. I had a lot of hope after episode 7, but it turned out so bad. A lot of the individual elements, like you said, are good. But the whole trilogy is definitely less than the sum of its parts.

Homo_Stupidus,

Wow, that’s a lot of the franchise to dislike. You don’t even like episode 6?

Homo_Stupidus,

At least most of the spinoff stuff is better, if still not great.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...

Homo_Stupidus,

I love the tactile feeling of writing on paper.

Homo_Stupidus,

I did. I’m disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.

Homo_Stupidus,

I’m not an economist, but what is the endgame here? Eventually, in their ideal delusions, every household has their own subscription. How do they intend to fuel growth then? Just more price increases? I don’t understand this extreme capitalism. Can’t a business just be happy to be profitable? Why do they focus so much on indefinite growth like some kind of tumor?

Homo_Stupidus,

The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.

Homo_Stupidus,

My thoughts exactly. It’s all devolved into savage economic darwinism. Giant corps won’t stop until they own literally everything, and even then, it likely won’t be enough. It truly is a cancer on society. It’s not like I want to abolish capitalism, I’m no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There’s a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:

Replacement brush for Tamiya Extra Thin

Okay, so this isn’t painting, but I figured someone would know something about this. What kind of material us the Tamiya extra thin brush made of? I tried to use some cheap synthetic paint brushes with it, but they hardened and broke apart. Anyone have any luck finding a decent brush to use when applying extra thin for...

Are GAR and CIS less fun?

I know the game started with Galactic Civil War so obviously it haw greater variety, but does anyone else feel like Clone Wars isn’t as interesting to play? I sorely want a third corpse unit for GAR and CIS. Whenever I make any army for either, I feel like I always end up with less units and the upgrades don’t synergize very...

Homo_Stupidus,

I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.

Should I invest in washes as a beginner?

So I’m getting ready to dive into the world of finally painting my Star Wars Legion minis. I’m planning on getting an Army Painter speedpaint 2.0 set to start. Should I also buy the wash set? I’m not sure if it would improve my results as a beginner, though I imagine I will want them if I keep up with painting. I’m...

Homo_Stupidus,

So here’s the conundrum I seem to run across in hobby stuff. On one hand, you don’t want to spend ludicrous amounts of money on high end equipment off the bat because you may not keep up with the hobby. However, if you buy really crappy tools then your end product could end up trash no matter how good you might be, and then you might just give up. Do you have recommendations for any specific middle of the road brushes? What about the AP hobby starter brush set?

Homo_Stupidus,

Maybe I will just buy the black quickwash only. Thanks for the input.

Homo_Stupidus,

I’ve been watching some of those videos, but I’m not really sure if slap chop works for mostly white like stormtroopers and clone troopers? It also doesn’t seem like it would be helpful for death troopers or imperial special forces.

Homo_Stupidus,

Does slap chop work for almost completely white minis like stormtroopers? Or even necessary for all black minis like death troopers?

Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah I intend to buy a box of cheap minis on Amazon to test and practice with before moving on to my actual minis.

What color primer to use?

So I’m about to begin painting for the first time, but I’m not sure what colors to buy. I play Star Wars Legion so I’ll be painting a bunch of stormtroopers, death troopers, and other very monocolor minis. Should I use black and white primers for them? Or do neutral grey and paint the colors?...

Homo_Stupidus,

Planning on using Army Painter’s speedpaint 2.0.

I just read that they recommend their white or light grey primers.

Homo_Stupidus,

Did you use any washes or anything?

Homo_Stupidus,

You think straight white is a better choice than light grey?

Homo_Stupidus,

Would you say that overall it’s better to use white or grey for speedpaints in your experience?

Homo_Stupidus,

All great advice, thanks

Homo_Stupidus,

Really? Can they be safely stripped even after applying varnish?

Homo_Stupidus,

LA?
