Much of the fallout for smaller players is hidden, quiet, and requires digging for. Thematically appropriate, as nobody remembers random cog #74328, but in an open world game, can be really easy to miss and "feel".

And I don't mean that as a criticism (of anything other than current systems), it's actually very impressive to make a dystopia that feels so real and analogous that you're already numb to it. But I do wish we saw and dealt with more of the realities of being a normal person in setting, still.

I'll admit, I'm in a position to potentially get a new phone. But every "upgraded" model is a slight CPU bump and then tons of AI bloat features that I just don't want. Why the fuck would I pay ~1k for something I don't want? Make something I do, then we'll talk.

Yeah man, I wonder where all those people who have limited time and no safety net as a result off lack of assets and low benefit jobs are. Why aren't they showing up to all these daytime events? The world may never know.

These look like professional photos some cosplayer/LARPers had done. I don't know how else to describe it.

Yeah I don't even intend it in a mean way, but the sculpts were dated, the rules were clunky and didn't look fun, the community was dug in. The only nice thing I can say is the lore/world is kinda cool. TW really did wonders in glowing it all up.

You cannot convince me that there are this many people online endlessly bitching who ACTUALLY played the game during end times.

I genuinely feel like a lot of the people who yellow belly about WHFB being shitcanned never engaged with it and are retroactive fans as a result of TW:WH TBH. As relatively "new blood" in WH, nothing about Fantasy looked like it was remotely compelling at the tail end.

3D printing models (not terrain) is a compromise on so many levels. If you're not getting something unique out of it, there's little to no reason to deal with it IMO.

I have some Aztec TSon proxies I used to try out the faction, and man, nothing made me want to blow my brains out faster than assembling those shits. I already hate super glue, having every piece made of resin just makes the process take ages, and it's so much more fragile.

Yeah, the people who want to "stick it to James", "never buy plastic again", and whatever are the loudest about it for sure. Being honest, the convenience of buying a box that glues together nicely and requires minimal cleanup is already reason enough to just eat the cost.

I would buy hooded space marine helmets if GW would let me, but I'm not spending like. $30 on 4 or whatever comes in the DA upgrade sprue. So 3D printing it is, unfortunately.

IIRC, Auspex did a poll a while ago (not the end all be all of data obviously) that indicated that the vast majority of 3D printer users (myself included) used theirs primarily for accent/customization pieces, and not proxies, primarily.

Yeah, so they're pitching a fit over nothing as usual. Eternal victim complex.
