I completely expect that shock will take a while to lift. Take care of yourself.

The great thing about The Hobby (what people into Warhammer call it) is that it's a very deep rabbit hole to dive into, but also lots of different avenues. Thousands of models to build and paint, several game formats and styles, and literally hundreds of books telling the lore of the universes. Even better than that is if you get bored of playing the game, you can just focus on another area of the hobby like the books or the painting or custom modelling. I used to use Audible when I landscaped and would go through 1-2 books a week while working.

I remember the name now. They’re Tyranids. When he showed me pictures of his setup, his Imperial Guard setup stood out the most to me, because they looked kind of like an advanced WWII army. It was really amazing. This is interesting. What are the differences between the 40K armies vs the ones you’re painting? Can they mix the two when playing the game?

Yeah, I hear you on the YouTube’s. Interesting. Here’s some I subscribe to for my collection. The videos are great references.

Now, hold on, I never said any fraternity was less than mine. I just spoke mine into what it is. If that made you and some others feel smaller, that’s a reflection, not a statement. 😂

If you look at my post, I edited it because my brother (also a Nupe) sent me that image last night. I liked it. Here’s his text.

“Happy J5. You see the brotha on the far left? Minus the earring and lines in his hair, tell me he’s not your twin. If you were a cartoon, that’s exactly what you’d look like. 😆”

I had to do a double take and check my birth certificate to make sure I wasn’t secretly animated. I’m equal parts flattered and concerned that Pixar might owe me some royalties. 😂

Thanks.

Ah, indeed. Nice reply. I couldn’t agree more. 😂

When I look at my collection, nothing quite matches the sophistication of curating a collection where each piece whispers tales of engineering marvels and design brilliance. It’s not just “cooler toys” for me, it’s a celebration of artistry, history, and innovation, all neatly scaled to fit on my shelves.

See, Zach? You opened up a can of Krappa worms. I was trying to be cool with him for his founders day Lol

Lmao. Wow! You have any pictures on the internet you don’t know about? They find pictures of people then photoshop the image and then put it on the net. You talk about your brother a lot. Are y’all close? Do y’all look alike?

PB and Xant meet on the playground:

Xant: “Cool hot wheels, bro! Wanna see my space monsters?”

PB: “Sure! Cool beans, bro! Will you be my friend?” (while peeling the crust off his dinosaur shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwich).

Xant: “Yeah. Let’s be buds!” (while drinking/eating milk and animal cookies).

Lmfao! I hollered!

Two grown ass fraternity dudes, playing with space marines and hot wheels Lol!!

What’s y’all’s wives have to say about this? Lol!

That cartoon guy looks like he raided PB’s closet, stole his face, and it’s honestly a little creepy. Ay ya yai, lol.

LOL! @ CG.

You excited about the game tonight?

Handguns are just more efficient overall. They’re compact, easy to maneuver, and you can fire off multiple shots quickly without fumbling around. Shotguns are great in their own right, but they’re bulkier, harder to handle in tight spaces, and let’s be honest, you’re not exactly carrying one around discreetly. It’s about being precise and practical, and that’s where handguns shine.

What if the intruder is high and loaded on drugs? It is possible that when someone is under the influence of certain drugs, like cocaine, PCP, or methamphetamine, they may feel little to no pain and can experience a temporary adrenaline-fueled surge. This can allow them to continue moving or fighting despite severe injuries. What you see in movies like Scarface is often exaggerated, but the phenomenon of drug-induced temporary resilience is rooted in reality. You’ll keep shooting with that handgun, but it might take a few pulls of the trigger to take him out.

But the shotgun always wins. High on drugs or not, one shot with a slug, and it’s over.

I just looked up that litter box, CG. Unless I’m looking at the wrong one, it’s damn near $1000.00. Please don’t tell me you paid that for a litter box.

Eta: is this it?

I watched that video, and I don't think I'd enjoy getting the "I'm full" text either, lol.

Great movie. I could watch it several times, and each time I do, I see something I didn’t see before. You’ve got a point about the drug affects, but I’m a pretty good aim at vitals.

Your mind really is in the gutter because that’s SO not what I meant. Aye yai yai.

Knowing me, I’ll panic and throw the gun at the intruder, lol. I’ll find out tomorrow at the shooting range.

It’s like a robotic litter box. Mine is the “Litter-Robot 4”. Sciencewoman, I’m not sure if you have a cat, but I know Phrozen Sands does. If you have a cat, I think you’d like it.

Phrozen, you should get one. It’s really nice. I got mine because it helps me to monitor my cats weight. And then, it’s never dirty. It’s always consistently a clean litter box.

There is no way I can possibly plan all of the major events that I have to plan over the next few months. I'm so overwhelmed
