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,

Link is such a natural femboy, especially in BotW and TotK.

Need Help Deciding: Gamemaster Character Paint Set or Reaper Miniatures Learn to Paint Kit?

Hey, painters! I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could really use your advice. I’ve been thinking about getting into the miniature painting hobby, but I can’t decide between the Gamemaster Character Paint Set and the Reaper Miniatures Learn to Paint Kit. My main goal is to explore this hobby and determine whether it’s...

Homo_Stupidus,

How is the quality of Army Painter over Citadel? I’m in the same boat as OP and just starting out learning to paint. I know it’s more expensive, but I’m leaning towards getting one of the Citadel starter packs. I’m also thinking a handle would be really nice, but I’m unsure.

Homo_Stupidus,

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably pick up an AP starter box soon.

Problems taking meds

So was curious if this was unique to me, or is a universal experience. As soon as I start thinking about taking my medication in the morning, my heart starts racing before I've even taken the bottle out of the cupboard. Then I take it and my heart continues to race for about 45 to 60 minutes before it calms down. It doesn't...

Homo_Stupidus,

I've never been on Adderall. I've only taken Focalin, so I don't know about that.

Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah I will be bringing it up when I see him next.

Homo_Stupidus,

Generic Focalin

Homo_Stupidus,

My family knows I don't want them to sing to me and they respect it unless they're feeling cheeky. They also don't mention it's my birthday at restaurants and don't get me cards unless thats the only thing they're giving me.

Homo_Stupidus,

New Reddit isn't gonna tolerate a sub dedicated to content piracy with an IPO in mind. That ship is sinking if not sunk already. If you don't like it here, I'm sure there are other places on the internet for discussion.

Homo_Stupidus,

I think it would be fine. It would fill the communities a bit.

Homo_Stupidus,

It seems like Lemmy is already experiencing further fragmentation and authority struggles. It doesn't bode well for growing Lemmy as a whole. Federation seems to be a double edged sword.

Homo_Stupidus,

I agree, this kind of thing is exactly what I think is going to stunt Lemmy growth. Federation is a double edged sword.

Homo_Stupidus, (edited )

As a Reddit refugee, and thus part of the problem, this kind of thing is what makes me unsure if I want to use Lemmy. I don't want to suddenly lose access to communities I've become accustomed to for reasons beyond my control.

Also, is there a way to see all the instances that have specifically defederated or blocked this one?

Homo_Stupidus,

Yeah I'm starting to realize some things after really exploring Lemmy after a few days. My biggest concern is that the whole federated thing isn't gonna work for me. I don't want to hunt for small communities and then risk losing them in petty squabbles by those who control them. It's like a whole bunch of little villages who claim to be united and connected, but in reality any village can cut off contact with any other for whatever reason their village leader(s) decide. You can leave the village if you don't like it, sure, but do you really want to end up as an internet nomad? I sure don't. Federation clearly does not inherently mean everyone is connected, despite what some proponents of the fediverse might say.

Homo_Stupidus,

Really unfortunate, but not really unexpected honestly. The average user probably doesn't care that much and will just go along with whatever because they're just used to Reddit and aren't interested in putting forth the effort to find alternatives, regardless of how simple it actually is. It was an amazing effort by those who cared, but I'm gonna put on my tinfoil condom here and say that a lot of mods have likely been replaced and the criticality of Reddit has been intentionally suppressed in favor of positive sentiment. Don't give into vitriol, after all we did exactly what it says at the end of the post and we seem to be much happier overall. I would have never heard of Lemmy or Mastodon had all of this this not happened.

Homo_Stupidus,

Speaking their truth. In this kind of situation, the only absolute truth is that u/spez is a huge fuckwad. All else is really just opinion.

Homo_Stupidus,

I wish there was just a way to browse all linked communities like you can in a browser.

Homo_Stupidus,

Same. I won't let go of Reddit completely until more of the people in my favorite subs migrate and rebuild their communities here, if they do so at all. But Lemmy and Mastodon will become my new main social hubs either way.

Homo_Stupidus,

I don't mind paying for a premium game as long as it's actually worth the price.

Homo_Stupidus,

I'm not really sure how I would set up a community. Do you need any hardware? I don't have the spare time to moderate something like a community.
