Just got the H2D

Gotta say this (and the AMS units) are probably the coolest shit I've ever seen. Had an A1 mini for a whiel before, but this is a whole other level.

Huge fan of the dual nozzle system, and the sheer size of the print area. And let me tell you, I'm using every centimeter of it lol.

Getting back into the game and kind of overwhelmed by the myriad of different currencies and doodads - is there a cheat sheet?

I played a fair bit back in the day, but didn't run a ton of Path of Champions - when I did it was still just one short adventure that didn't much resemble the current form at all.

I'm having a great time with it, but my gosh, there are so many different types of chest and reward and currency that I can't keep track. There's champion experience (which I get), legend points, glory, stardust, fragments & wild fragments, star crystals, nova crystals... the list goes on.

And it honestly seems like I basically never get fragments for the actual champion I am running... what am I doing wrong there? Shouldn't that be the primary champion I get fragments for...?

Having fun and all, just a fair bit confused as to what all this stuff is and how to actually progress. Feels like running adventures does vanishingly little for progress, but like, what else would I even do?

Does the complete game go on sale for a reasonable price ever?

Its a really sweet game, but this is ridiculous.

To be clear I am talking about the complete edition bundle as a whole (as it says in the title and the image), I have the base game. I have checked during sales, its just always still been expensive - I don't know if I've seen the lowest it goes and its just not that low, or does it actually hit somewhere reasonable?

PSA: "Thrift" *literally* means cheap. Stop defending the high prices.

I say this because it seems like almost every post there's someone in the comments defending the goodwill or whatever store for pricing their items high.

The origin of the word thrift is that it is cheap. That it is financially wise because it is inexpensive. Thrift has the same root as thrive, so think about financially thriving. Being thrifty is about not spending too much, so that you can financially thrive (just like in the boyscout law), and item being thrifty means it is inexpensive.

That is directly the meaning of the word when it is used in the context of a thrift store. It says "you will save money by shopping here" (ie, the items are cheap because they were donated & are secondhand). The word thrift came to also be used to mean "shopping secondhand" because secondhand shops were cheap, and because those shops embraced this using the word "thrift".

The products being cheap is the core identity of a thrift store, it is inexorably linked.

Edit: I have been informed I need to be clear for why it's grifty. I had figured the implication via context was enough, that's my bad.

Thrift stores are charging high prices for their wares, despite the definition of the word thrift being clearly the opposite. Sometimes people, including the thrift stores themselves, do not acknowledge the definition of thrift, thereby enabling their attempts to dishonestly overcharge.

Hope this clears it right up, cheers :)

Dumb question time, why is half and half called cream?

Google hasn't turned anything of use up for me, though I might not have good google fu. Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't see an identical question nor a satisfactory answer.

Simple question, but just never heard a real answer, and at this point I've been behind the bar long enough I'm kinda afraid to ask 😅

We ask if they want cream, they say yes, we put half and half, they expected half and half. Everyone (except that one customer once a blue moon) expects half and half. but why is that? Like half of the half and half is cream, so clearly by using that name we acknowledge that half and half is not just cream?

How did we get to the point that if you wanted heavy cream for some reason you would have to say "heavy cream"? I'm not complaining or anything, half and half is awesome. But it is odd, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

I've got semantic satiation for the word "half" now, so I hope you can appreciate my sacrifice to ask this question.

Y'all remember when Bionicle did a disc launcher gimmic run? Well check this sick Kanoka disc golf dosc

Its a gold diamond from latitude 64 using their print service. Can't wait to launch this directly into the foliage.

Got my Kanoka disc! Actual disc golf frisbee

Got this from Latitude 64 just recently. Looks great IRL, though the image makes it look a bit metallic - it's just from the original image I had them put on the disc.

Next time I need another disc, I'll go for another element.

Anyone know what these terrain templates are? they look really good

I am not looking for a commission, any DM solicitations will be reported immediately.

Video is from Highstakes 40k

Also interested in existing designs that are similar.

Does anyone have all the Kanoka Disc designs? Want to use them for disc golf

I am thinking of getting some custom disc golf discs done with the Kanoka designs on them. If someone has higher quality images of the designs I would use that, otherwise I'll make the designs myself - but don't want to duplicate work if its unnecessary.

(the one pictured is basically a mock up using a really low quality image from google images, and wouldn't really look all that good if I got it printed as is IRL)

Cheers :)

EDIT: Found great images on the BioMedia Project! Ordered a custom Kanoka disc :D

Can anyone help ID this unusual piece? It is *not* printed

#Solved

thank you to /u/giant_sloth! It's a GW staff present

So I know its a larger version of the Empire cannon - the insignia on the back and dragon handles are quite specific to Warhammer/Empire and that specific design.

But it's cast resin, not 3D printed. And obviously, it's freaking huge.

According to the person I got it from it's old, but who knows what that really means other than having some respectable dust buildup lol

Edit: It's larger than 3x the size of the normal cannon, so I don't think it's a 3up. I think its some kind of event/deluxe box exclusive or similar, but don't know what.

Edit 2: Nope turns out it is a 3up and I just had the wrong idea about its size.

Currently working on some World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King inspired Ossiarch Bonereapers. Looking for some good terrain that has the aesthetic of using bones to augment their architecture like that, or if you played Guild Wars 2 the Awakened/Palawa Joko zones have some really sweet bone architecture.

Happy to shell out for decent quality paid files of course!

Cheers!

Not looking to commission sculpting work

I'm going to do these with a World of Warcraft Death Knight/Scourge Wrath of the Lich King inspired vibe. They will be on snowy/ice bases and will have a saturated blue glow for their magic glow effects.

However I keep waffling between black, grey, purple, burgundy for the cloth/armor. Might also do steel armor plates rather than colored. Any suggestions wanted :)

Current army has 40 mortek guard, Kavalos Zandtos, 2x bonershapers, 3x necropolis stalkers, 5x Kavalos deathriders, and (not pictured) a janky 2nd hand Mannfred von Carsten who could become Arkhan the black. Kinda tempted by the battleforce but it is really expensive

Edit: Sorry idk why the quality of Pic #1 got so scuffed when I uploaded it, imgur seems to make it marginally less scuffed?
