In this episode Jon reveals his sociopathic tendencies in gaming

@samd5466 11 ай бұрын

Honestly they're pretty shitty tendencies. Everything he tried to justify was really just being intentionally misleading about rules to win. I guess if you want to lie/mislead someone at a tournament go ahead, but if you're playing with a friend it's an asshole move.

@craigenglish3184 11 ай бұрын

Yeah it’s a pretty big no no. Especially with casual games. Like even not mentioning something a unit can do is bad form because it leads to gotcha moments. Actively bluffing an opponent and misleading some one about what a unit can do is a sure fire way of quickly running out of local opponents.

@doomworcs 11 ай бұрын

Ya if I found my opponent was play like this I'd just let him have the win and move on to a new match. tourney or not, its just not worth it to interact with people wanting to use social pressures to get the W.

@green_manc 11 ай бұрын

It didnt really seem like jon was advocating not saying the rules or what a unit can do, bearing in mind part of the game is telling your opponent what each unit is. Jons merely saying part of the tactics of his game is a psychological push towards making the opponent play the game jon wants to play by downplaying or upselling the perceived importance of certain moves, this is a simple bait and switch used the world over and legit in wargames and tcg's doesnt sound underhand especially if you know your own army list and your opponents list (which i always recommend checking over before the game begins)

Hey Scott! Pro tip about headswapping 3d printed models: you can use microsoft 3d builder (free program) to do things like digitally remove the head of the model and place on the head you want. I recommend using the subtract function once with a sphere to take off the general original head you don't want, and then subtracting again with the head that you want to replace it with so you have a perfect indent for the head to fit on. It's super easy and doesn't take hours like Blender would. Also, congrats on having your first painted army!

@terrydactyl2077 6 ай бұрын

Best tip the episode for me is to not wait until your “better” at painting before trying it. I used to buy a great looking model that had maybe fur or something I hadn’t done yet and thought “I don’t want to ruin this one. I’ll wait until I know I’ll be ok at painting it”. Now I paint what excites me most even if it’s something brand new to me. Only adds to my knowledge and skills.

A bunch of companies have tried to make a perfect tabletop gaming resin and have come up against the same unfortunate issue: Generally, you give up durability for detail, and vice-versa. The harder a resin is when cured, the better it retains detail. But it also becomes more brittle. It's very difficult to make one bar go up without lowering the other.

@greglohman6750 11 ай бұрын

Interesting side note on 3D printing - Reaper Miniatures is currently producing some figures at their USA factory via high throughput industrial 3d printers. The detail, quality and durability is insane. Check out any figure that is an "RMPrint" or "Printed" figure. Confusingly some of thier bones USA line is siocast and some is 3d printed.

@ericdavis4964 11 ай бұрын

Scott, for your Vampire halberdiers. Go with Brass rods. Brass rods start as small as 1 mm diameter in size. It is an old trick back from lead / metal mini days as the metal use to bend. Brass is cheap, easy to get a hold of and has a whole lot more durability then any resin on the market. The other option is to use piano wire, but that is much tougher to work with. We use to use both brass and/or piano wire for halberdiers and spearmen back in the day when metal miniatures were all that were sold in the market.

Re: resin, you mix Siraya Tech Tenacious (either black or "clear") with something like Elegoo 8K and you eyeball it. Could not be any simpler. I have printed... thousands of models now in my club. The results are fantastic, details are great, and the models are really flexible. I haven't done a resin tune since the first go and eyeballing the measurements have been perfectly fine.

Here is an idea for shipping models. Harbor freight has the off brand plano boxes for much cheaper. The small version is only 12.99. It would hold good size or multiple small ones. that would protect them a lot for shipping inside of a shipping box.

I would love to see that!

Guys! 3d printing have to move to DLP, I have a 2K DLP (Elegoo Mars 3 DLP) I've had 3 previous LCD resin printers and I have to tell you... the easiness of use of a DLP outright destroys LCD and the crispiness of edges helps a TON. If DLP keeps going up on resolution I think it's a no-brainer (also all of what you said to make it easier, temp controled vat, easy leveling, auto failure detection etc...)

Regarding resin mixes, my workhorse resin is SirayaTech Fast - Navy Grey which is pretty durable by SLA resin standards. SirayaTech Tenacious is their flex/durable resin and I've found that the 1L bottles of Fast resin have enough space for roughly 200mL of liquid, which means you have a near effortless 80/20 mix of Fast to Tenacious resin. Just have the shake the hell out of it before using it, but it's such a pleasure to work with!

On Scott's point about Instagram Reels comments: Super mega hard agree! I'm not really even shown divisive content that I imagine people would be arguing over (politics, religion, etc.), but no matter what kind of video it is with IG Reels I can guarantee there will be someone in the comments pissing and moaning about something related to the video. It does not matter the circumstance, there will be people standing up on their soap box making an argument that is demonstrably stupid. Followed by 20 other people arguing back against that person. It makes Reels super unbearable in that way. So Scott man, I hear you, I see you, you're not crazy.

Monty Hall math problem: another way of visualizing the proper solution is to consider 100 doors in the game (instead of three). You pick one, Monty eliminates 98 incorrect doors (because he always eliminates the incorrect doors). There's now two left: your pick and one other. What are the chances you picked the correct one in the first place? Hence the reason why you switch.

Question for a potential discussion (well 2 but they are related). This is for used minis and not busts or display pieces. When painting how much of an impact does the gloss or matte of a paint factor in to your decisions? Do you not care since you will varnish? And I have seen y’all use pigments on gaming minis, how do you keep them from rubbing off and does their planned usage change how you approach the painting and/or varnishing?

"Revisiting a model after X time". Explain what happened in the video- where it is now IS the starting point. I think a lot of people start projects and don't finish- might be a good way to inspire viewers to get back to their old projects.

So glad you guys added that the numbers dont tell the whole story, for example, crime goes up with ice cream sales. The causality is the temperature but the stats tell a bit of a lie. Same with current 40k, the stats dont balance because we have the weight of 9th behind it, and the rules change has meant that a psychology shift has changed the way we play armies in the meta. Death guard is still kicking ass, the world best is still going 5-0 or 4-1 so is the stats wrong or is something else going on?

meta gaming /social engineering - absolutely its a fundamental principle in winning any game of 3 people not to be the target of the other two until you have won. Adding or subtracting players makes no real difference other than its more or less players Its just easiest to recognize with 3 players. Most recently if i think im the odd man out ill pick the better player and tell the table that i like that person im going to help them win. Most often aggressive table talk will cause you to loose example: "if you attack me ill retaliate." keeping your mouth shut when things are going your way is probably a good idea.
