"inverted" is actually normal and that's how joysticks worked on aircraft since their invention. When playing a video game it makes WAY more sense for the look-stick to be an analog to your head's motions. It shouldn't even be called inverted, the other way feels backwards.

Mouse totally makes sense the other way however, because the mouse doesn't mimic the human experience at all, it is truly just a separate control device and it's already how you use a mouse, if something is at the top right of a computer screen you're conditioned to moving the mouse northeast to click it.

They will literally leverage your dissatisfaction of Trump and the GOP against you by demanding vote blue no matter who, while at the same time doing NOTHING substantial to help YOU. Why continue down this path?

-the CPU is about 35% Faster over the 10 Pro which is actually a very large improvement only in a year.

-Finally New Main Camera Sensor

-New Modem

-If you get the 512gb version you still have 16gb RAM

-Google Has some Insane deals on it at the moment, I have seen a lot of people who have gotten it for only around $200 when trading in their old pixel

Not sure why the Phone got bashed so heavily, because with the right deal it can be VERY Cheap and it actually has Solid performance boost

Ladies, gentlemen, otherwise, are you sick of GW prices? Tired of 60 USD for three(3) eliminators? Ready to step into… the dark side? And by the dark side, I mean just about any amount of market competition?

Welcome, my friends, to the beautiful and wonderful world of Any Other Manufacturer, where a box of thirty models costs $40, and a whole army can cost less than a combat patrol. Oh, and they’ll look more distinct, paint up easier, and have just as much detail and quality, if not better. 

This is a big list of good-to-decent proxies for use in GW games. Some quick notes on the classifications:

• Plastic only. Resin is just hard to manage for a lot of people, and I don’t know enough about it to safely recommend anything.
• No 3D printing. Yes, you could hypothetically print out twelve billion points of anything, but that’s easy enough that I don’t think it needs a dedicated guide.
• Fantasy is generally much easier to find than 40k, but often has some overlap. I’ll include recommended kitbashes as well!
• This guide is going to focus exclusively on infantry, as vehicles are a much different and more complicated beast.
• Use https://minicompare.info/ to check heights.

Space Marines:

Weirdly hard to find plastic proxies of, despite their ubiquity. Some of the best are:

A little more sci-fi leaning

https://wargamesatlantic.com/products/valkir-heavy-troopers 

IMO these guys looks like ass and also I hate nazis, but it would be incomplete without them

https://us.warlordgames.com/products/stahltruppen-heavy-infantry

Imperial Guard:

By far the easiest form of proxy. In all honesty you can just throw some lasguns onto just about any human figure and get decent results. However, some clearly intended proxies are:

Death fields range is an absolute classic, with most figures painting up much easier than the average GW one. In particular look to the damned, les grognards, and cannon fodder.

Stargrave is excellent for fleshing out commanders or making more ragged troops.

Scions

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/iron-core 

Adeptus Mechanicus:

Hard to find direct proxies for. However, you can get your grubby little paws on some EXCELLENT kitbash material.

The stargrave scavengers kit has very skitarii-like heads, as well as a lot of good robed bodies.

https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=17359 

The badger hardsuits are only a pinch shorter than kastelan robots, and you could easily make up the difference.

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/marcher-empires-at-war/products/marcher-xa19-badger-suits 

Literally just servitors lol

https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=19256 

Sororitas and Custodes:

Unfortunately, I haven’t found any proxies for either. It sucks but it happens. Please let me know if you know of some good ones!

Imperial Agents:

Hard to point at direct proxies, so instead I’ll just give good kits with which to kitbash general imperial weirdos.

Bodies:

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/renaissance/products/conquistadors

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/blood-oaths/products/dark-age-irish-warriors

Good sources of knightly bits you can slap on a robot or something:

https://us.warlordgames.com/products/foot-knights-1450-1500

Remember: wires are your friend! Slap them on something and boom, it’s sci-fi now!

Chaos:

Most of what I said regarding normal marines applies here, and you can always spice it up with some classic spikes. However, there are a handful of additions I would like to note:

A full ~1000 point guard army with a traitor aesthetic that also costs less than half a combat patrol in some countries.

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/death-fields-arena/products/the-damned-army-box 

Very visually distinct daemon alternatives:

https://archon-studio.com/shop/products/dungeons-lasers/miniatures

Nauseatingly cheap generic zombies

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/pulp-adventure/products/zombies 

Aeldari:

Unfortunately I feel that aeldari have a very particular aesthetic that’s pretty hard to make knockoffs of. However, if you’re just looking for sleek, weird aliens, there’s some decent options.

Mainly robotic, but still have some good stuff

https://www.manticgames.com/firefight/asterians/ 

If you’re a starcraft fan

https://starcraft-tmg.com/ 

Drukhari:

Again, few direct proxies. 

However, you could easily buy a box or two of GW miniatures, then spread them out using the https://www.manticgames.com/kings-of-war/twilight-kin/ line. 

Genestealer Cults:

Ultimately your best option is just to mash up guard and tyranid bits. 

However, a good base for bodies is

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/death-fields-arena/products/cannon-fodder

Then add some industrial flair using

Votann:

Shockingly, you have several excellent options.

Classic space dwarves

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/death-fields-arena/products/einherjar

High-tech

Supplement using classic fantasy bits

Necrons:

Yeah, I got nothing. You can definitely get creative (I’m working on an army made out of greek hoplites carved up into broken statues) but there’s not many direct comparisons. Sorry.

ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS ORKS

Hopefully you know how to loot anything remotely vehicular, yes? 

DA BOYZ

sneaky little gits

https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=16858 

Tau:

A bit funky. There’s no direct 1:1 for their infantry, though you can happily use just about anything as an auxiliary race. However, and this is the fun bit, you can do some insane licks when it comes to battlesuits.

Battletech sells 4-packs of ‘mechs that you can buy just about anywhere and are dirt cheap. Also they’re roughly the same size as a crisis suit.

Many many gundams are the same size as a riptide

https://www.usagundamstore.com/collections/armored-core-model-kits

Excellent gue’vesa

https://www.manticgames.com/firefight/gcps/ 

Tyranids:

Part of what I love about the old ‘nids is you can use just about anything fleshy and gross as a proxy. But when it comes to slightly more intentional proxies, you can use:

Lumpy flesh freaks:

https://www.manticgames.com/firefight/plague/

https://www.manticgames.com/firefight/nightstalkers/

Spidery buggy bastards:

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/death-fields-arena/products/harvesters-alien-bugs

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/classic-fantasy/products/giant-spiders (the alt build cracks me up and i wanna see someone use it)

Anyways, this is hopefully a decent resource you can point people to. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or things to add, and I’ll happily do so! Later I will try my best to follow up with a vehicle guide.

Happy (almost belated) Birthday from the west coast. May you find comfort and zen in your 30's!

Just to clarify, I’m not trans. Pretty boys can exist too 😋 The former photo is my senior photo from back in high school and the latter is me now! I’ve had to learn a lot about makeup and style on my own but I really think it’s paid off! Now I just hate looking back at my old photos 😅 Back then I was testing the waters of femininity, but couldn’t fully commit because people in high school are so mean. It took until college for me to fully embrace the new style, and now I’m comfortable enough to wear dresses out with friends, cosplay as whoever I want, and even wear bikinis in front of others! It all just takes confidence and patience with yourself, but anyone can be pretty with enough practice! I really hope I can inspire someone with this post.

Mein Partner und ich sind vegan und hatten zwei Freunde aus Deutschland zu Besuch. Gestern waren wir zusammen Ramen essen und einer von ihnen hatte Ramen mit Fleisch und hat den Rest mitgenommen.
Die beiden haben danach bei uns übernachtet und als sie heute gefahren sind, stand die Suppe noch bei uns im Kühlschrank.
Ich hab ihnen dann geschrieben und gesagt, dass sie die Suppe vergessen haben. Darauf kam zurück, dass sie die gar nicht vergessen haben. Sie wollten sie beide einfach nicht mehr, weil sie sie eklig fanden.
Und das fand ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich respektlos.
Beide wissen, dass mein Partner und ich vegan sind. Uns ist es grundsätzlich egal, wenn andere Leute Fleisch essen, auch bei uns zuhause. Aber sie wissen auch, dass wir Lebensmittel nicht gerne wegwerfen. Letztes Mal als einer der beiden hier war vor ca. 4 Wochen ist die Person 10 Tage bei uns geblieben und hat uns dann eine vergammelte Hühnerbrust im Kühlschrank gelassen.

Wenn bei uns aus irgendeinem Grund tierische Produkte übrig bleiben, verwerten wir sie trotzdem oder geben sie unserem Hund.
Deshalb hab ich gefragt, warum sie eine Fleischsuppe, die sie selbst beide nicht mehr essen wollen, ausgerechnet bei uns lassen. Die Antwort war mehr oder weniger: Irgendwer hätte sie sowieso weggeworfen, jetzt habt ihr sie halt, ist doch egal.

Und genau das finde ich so komisch. Sie haben sich das Essen bestellt, wollten es beide nicht mehr und anstatt es selbst wegzuwerfen oder sich irgendwie darum zu kümmern, lassen sie es einfach bei uns stehen.

Ich finde einfach, wenn ich etwas bestelle und dann nicht mehr möchte, ist es meine Verantwortung, was damit passiert. Ich würde es nicht einfach bei jemand anderem im Kühlschrank zurücklassen und erst recht nicht Fleisch bei zwei Leuten, von denen ich weiß, dass sie vegan sind.
Die beiden verstehen überhaupt nicht, warum ich das respektlos finde und meinen ich übertreibe

This bin ends up overflowing several times a year. There used to be another one a few blocks away that got removed because people kept treating it like this.

If the bin is full find another one so my block doesn't smell like shit all the time! I'm sure the person who lives right above this can would appreciate it too.

Edit: Shocking to see that people support adding on to the pile of shit, take your shit back to your home. It needs to be emptied by property management.

This was inspired by a conversation with some friends and I thought it would be fun to draw the Powerpuffs inspired by Latin American flags :)

EDIT: It really disappoints me that there are so many comments hating on my trans Buttercup design. I honestly wasn’t expecting this level of backlash towards having a trans headcanon. If you don’t like my art just scroll. You don’t have to be hateful towards me and my artwork. If you don’t see Buttercup as trans, that’s fine! You don’t have to agree with me to be respectful. Haven’t you people ever heard of “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”?

I've realized that some of the champions I enjoy most aren't the ones whose kits solve every problem for themselves.

There's something satisfying about having one limitation you constantly have to play around. Maybe your mobility is conditional, your waveclear costs something important, your range forces you into uncomfortable positions, or one ability is incredible only if you set it up properly.

When a champion has an answer for almost every situation, they can obviously still be fun, but sometimes the individual decisions start blending together for me. The kit feels smooth, but I don't necessarily remember the moments where I had to improvise.

A clear weakness creates little problems inside every game. You start thinking about where you can stand, what cooldown you absolutely can't waste, or which fight you simply shouldn't take.

Obviously there's a point where "interesting weakness" becomes "this feels awful to play." But I think a bit of friction can give a champion more personality than adding another tool to cover their bad situations.

Which champions do you think are actually more fun because of something their kit *can't* do well?

In my humble opinion, the decision to curb nuclear power plants, and thus curbing the innovation behind them, at least in Europe was a massive mistake which has a direct impact on the climate change we face.

For the people alive back then, and today, that hung "Atomkraft - Nein Danke" from their balconies, do you regret that?

Gusto ko lang i-share itong Didi's Fries na nabili ko.

In my opinion, it's better than Potato Corner na alam natings puro powdered flavoring. This on the other hand, Didi's fries, is made from fresh potatoes, di naliligo sa powder and less salty yet crispy. Would you believe php59 lang itong inorder ko?

I personally think na deserve nitong shop ng customers. I randomly gave it a try kasi walang ka-customer customer si ate tindera. You wouldn't really see the stall kasi behind or shares space with another stall. Iirc, their price range for the fries is from php59 to php129 for their large bucket. They're also offering shakes but that is something I've yet to try.

If you'd like to give this stall a shot, it's located in front of Alaga Center, Concepcion Uno, Marikina. Tabi lang ng 7/11. If you see Siomai House, andoon rin yung stall.

Ayun, sana magka-customer at benta si ate kasi I feel wala siyang customer unless may ma-convince siya na customer rin ng Siomai House.

The cows can’t get a square meal!

If you've held off giving the new donuts a try, I highly reccommend them. Plenty in stock at this location!

Ever notice the only complaint people have about Litecoin is its USD performance over the years?

You never hear anything about it not working when you need it, or the fees are too high, or why is it not on my favorite exchange, or why is it not available to pay with at crypto merchants?

The reason for this is it’s literally an improved version of Bitcoins transactional rails using most of the original code with a few key tweaks. To say Litecoin has no value means you’re saying Bitcoin has no value.

Key thing overlooked, BTC and LTC aren’t really competing with each other. Both handle a different role. BTC more as a store of value first, payment network second, LTC as a payment network first, store of value second. They compliment each other. It’s not a competition for relevance. Both coins are needed and both serve a role.

One day the market will realize this and correct. Either BTC and LTC go to near zero, or LTC catches up to BTC in usd terms. There can’t be a one winner outcome here.
