1/5th of the price? If you have the right setup it's closer to 1/64 depending on what you print. There are 1:1 Photogrammetry scans for most of the models if you know where to look or proxies that match the rest of the range.
The problem is mostly the 3D printing itself and that's from someone who printed a full 2000pts Lumineth army for Warhammer. The resins are pretty gnarly and you need to have a dedicated exhaust system or a room you don't step in because of the VOCs. The parts are also consumable (FEP films, LCD screens, etc) and you need to take apart the printers to replace them and they're not cheap.
It's a fantastic tool but it's far from threatening Game Workshop's stock, at least in its current stage.
Do you have friends to play with? It seems silly to shelf them in the attic. Nu-Warhammer might be dumb as shit but that doesn't stop you and mates from playing and ignoring the new stuff.
My mates and I still play 8th edition and drink beers and Games Workshop never sees a dollar from us.
I wish but they already replied on the official twitter that "There's always been female Custodes" and one of the writers posted some to the effect of "They always existed but the previous boss wouldn't let us write them because there was no minis"

Nah. I've been in the scene for a long time and FitGirl is a biological woman. The tranny accusations were actually started by Empress when both of them got into a catfight over FitGirl taking donations for her repacking. They might be autistic and crazy but they're women.
Pirate lore does run deep.
Depends on what your looking for game playwise and how "modern" it is. Each game really is a snapshot of the decade it's released in. The most recent one does have the most content but it is a reflection of modern times for better or worse. It is very much more Sims 2 like though than it's predecessor so if you like 2 you'll probably like 4.
Sims 3 is a different experience but it is saddled with a creaking engine where you can't use all the dlc at once without setting your computer on fire.
Fitgirl doesn't crack anything though, she only repacks scene releases. The only one who had any luck with Denuvo was Empress but she disappeared as far as I know.
A lot of recent Denuvo games haven't been touched.
I agree but more than than just the engine, all the original developers have probably moved onto other things. Any HL3 would be made by new people who have the "idea" what HL3 should be and not the spark that gave us Half-Life 2.
Even with the original team, the "Epistle Three" as originally outlined would have led to another massive cliff hanger and people would be clamoring for a HL4 that'd take another 15+ years.
I disagree that to win you have to become a cold, caring monster. There are women attracted to that and the "dark personality traits" but most just want a fit, confident mate at the end of the day. To "win", just go to the gym and fix your diet and confidence does follow when you get to a level of fitness and healthier eating.
Not just from the increased attraction you will recieve, but being a stronger physical person not subsiding on junk food helps bring it out.
I very much agree with this and hate how women and society keeps telling men the opposite.
It's completely understandable that a woman wouldn't want to fuck you if you're a chubby out of shape piece of shit. When you break it down to base animal kingdom level scrubbing away all the human social norms, you're showing that you're a bad potential mate with poor impulse control and no desire to improve. That's really the crux of it, like if you don't want to be in the friend-zone (And this applies to all social human relationships) go to the gym and cut down on the calories you consume.
True but I hope this pushes more people of Project64 just from the news of this. Project64 has always been "baby's first emulator" and never has been especially accurate. There are far more accurate emulators out there more than deserve the support and downloads.
The movies are interesting because they really don't fit in the timeline and never did. I've watched retrospectives and they pretty much their own DBZ timeline with recurring characters like Icarus. So while they added to, it never fucked with the main series like all this new bullshit has.
It really comes down to Toyotarou who started this. He was reopening the series when he wrote Dragon Ball AF and then he made all his fan stuff canon when he took on Super. Did we all really need Xicor to be canon? It's such a mess at this there really is no "canon" to follow.
It's very similar to how they handled the Aliens movie series. There's so many spinoffs, novels that are canon or not depending on the week, the rpg which canonizes some of the comics and unfilmed scripts. videogame timelines etc. At the end of the day I just ignore it and pick and choose what I like.
Not suprising, Project64 has been always pretty shit. I remember they added a toolbar/malware that auto installed back in the day and never announced it.
When people found out and complained they whined and were like "We didn't think anyone would notice".
Yeah it's not a conspiracy movie "illuminati" just a bunch of greedy petty rich people who act like children.
Weirdly enough Anthony Bourdain of all people wrote about it in one of his books when he shacked up with a very powerful person's daughter after his marriages dissolved. The standout thing I remembered was how one of his chef friends was selling plates of <$1 canned beans for an absurd amount of money to these people and they were eating it up because the "status" of it. Pretty much the American Psycho scene with the business cards with how petty they wete with each other.
Sadly I don't think Hard Candy is what broke Ellen Page, she probably was assaulted multiple times in the Hollywood backrooms.
I remember a story I read a long while ago when she was at her peak about a fan who met her at like a meet & greet and she was visibly shaken and recoiled when any of the male fans came to meet her. It wasn't a "I'm better than you" thing more the response you'd expect from an assault victim.
Eh I disagree, Iran isn't early 90s/00s Iraq. It's a extremely mountainous country with likely nuclear weapons and a very advanced drone program that has been battle tested in Ukraine.
Add in that Israel already has their hands tied with Gaza and are publicly saying they will enter Lebanon, we might be seeing mushroom clouds over the desert once this goes regional.
I mean at this point I think you can just pick what you like and just ignore the rest because clearly they don't know what they're doing. The offical "canon" is a complete mess right now and as someone who religiously watched every episode during its original broadcast run I couldn't tell you what actually is and isn't anymore.
The chronology is super weird now with the manga going in a different direction than the anime, the movie chronologies that are now being cherry picked, the semi canonization of the time fuckery of the Xenoverse games, the introduction of mangas and animes of the Dragon Ball Heroes and Super Dragon Ball Heroes, parallel "Xeno" universes where GT is canon, it's a complete fucking mess and makes me miss the days when people just argued over GT and made SSJ5 fanart.
Yup. As someone who followed the Maidan coup closely, I knew immediately that we were going to be involved in Ukraine as soon as Biden was sworn in.
It's ironic because the diplomatic cable leaks years back warned about this and the consensus among the foreign intelligence community was that the US had to stop fucking around in Russia's backyard because eventually they were going to find out.
I mean is anyone suprised? Toriyama's protogé and Super's creator Toyotarou literally got his his start ripping off and writing Dragon Ball fanfiction.
Hell even Super is a hodgepodge of that same fanfiction. Goku Black is literally Xicor from Dragonball AF, Ultra Instinct is SSJ5, etc. Other than a few original ideas it's just fanfiction made canon.
Iirc that was the original plan by Toriyama. The Cell Games were the end of the series and like you said it completed Gohan's journey just as Dragon Ball completed Goku's. However the editors and money people didn't want their most lucrative franchise to end so we got the Buu Saga and everything after.
It makes sense in hindsight because that whole saga is so unfocused and goes in so many directions til about Super Buu-Kid Buu. He told the story he wanted to tell and didn't know where to go next.
A bit different from some posted here, but I believe HG Wells or a close associate of his was an actual time traveler.
The man's writing was decades ahead of the curve and suprisingly would inspire the things he wrote about. He wrote of atom bombs in 1910s and the first actual nuclear scientist said he was directly inspired by the writings. Some world changing rocket scientists, technicians, chemists all said they got their ideas from reading Wells work. Wells also predicted the second world war, the rise of communism, hell even a "cold war precipitated by submarine launched wmds" all in the early 1900s before anyone else even thought of it. He's even directly responsible for all current wargaming and rpgs, since D&D and it's predecessor Chainmail were based on a wargame he made.
The man literally changed the course of human history and also coincidentally wrote the Time Machine.
I'd agree there I just find it the most apt comparison fan wise to a female singer of that level of popularity wise.
And yes if the evidence I've seen is believed, she was a 4chan shitposter earlier in career and was pretty wholesome/had based opinions. Not sure when the change happened but she wasn't always so promiscuous/left leaning.
I do see them screw up again but I don't see them ever going full woke because like I said they sell toy soldiers at the end of the day and it's where they make all their money. They can't push away that audience because they'd go out of business if they do.
None of these social justice warriors will pay $50 for a single model, spend 10s of hours painting just for use in an autistic wargame. Every interview with former Games Workshop staff supports this and they're pretty open about it.
So basically Madonna? I know people think she's an outlier in her popularity but she's pretty much the Madonna of this women's generation.
You could probably go back 30-40 years and find the same things being said about her.
To add to this there are 1:1 Photogrammetry scans of alot of models but you will have to go on Telegram for that.
There used to be a lot more of direct Warhammer clones on Cults but Games Workshop will shut them down as soon as they find them, so you have to do weird conversions (Primaris Marines = Prime Beef) or just grab them before they're removed.
