I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.
I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you wish you'd have known before you started your hobby(s)?
1·1 day agoOPR skirmish is the easiest to talk people into since it uses GW minis they probably already own. All it needs is people reading the free rules and making a list. It feels like a proper skirmish game instead of the strange hero battle game modern Kill Team is. This is doable if a store has a Discord or something to do barebones meetup planning even with strangers.
A little more difficult, but doable if you’ve eased people into alternate ideas is getting people to agree to an older 40k edition. It requires buying or, uh, finding the rules and codexes, but it sidesteps the problem of constant rules changes. My preference is 3e (I have very little personal interest in Primaris marines) which is much less bloated than modern armies of the same points value.

3·1 day agoYes, tabletop gaming is so much bigger and more varied than GW’s games. I love 40k and Warhammer fantasy, but just as one part of the hobby.
The high pricing and FOMO churning is pretty perfected by GW. It is easy to fall into just thinking and buying GW products at MSRP. There are many ways to avoid it and play for much cheaper, but it means breaking out of the GW exclusive ecosystem. (I have many specific suggestions how to do this btw.)
I can’t stand the modern tournament culture which has this sort of e-sports stink on it.
As a mild piece of good news OnePageRules seems to have decent traction and isn’t too difficult to find groups who play in stores. It has its shortcomings, but at least the rules aren’t subject to the constant market driven churning updates.

FoodPorn@lemmy.world•Half sweet and half spicy plate of pierogisEnglish
3·6 days agoThe cream for the sweet pierogis isn’t exactly whipped cream. I can’t quite identify it, but I think it is some kind of sweetened sour cream (this is something I’ve have before) that’s been whipped to bee less dense than normal sour cream.

4·6 days agoThese aren homemade, I got the plate at a small independent restaurant.
The sweet ones have a sweetened twaróg cheese filling, and the hot ones have a mix of potato and habanero.
This appears to be a photoshop of the Old Trace sign, with the oldest posting coming from Reddit’s politicalhumor community.

I don’t think allowing photoshopped images in a community intended for photographs is a great idea. There are already numerous communities here where the photoshop picture can get exposure without cutting into one of the few spaces for photographs.
Everyone on the internet is always serious.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are a lot of Christmas specials where Christmas is almost cancelled because Santa can't deliver presents that specific night, but realistically he could just postpone Christmas to another day
0·1 month ago
The holiday isn’t Santa’s to postpone. He is an avatar and caretaker of the Christmas spirit, not a master with control over it. Often in the ebin deep lore of these stories, Christmas itself has both power on the specific date which is needed to fuel Santa, and it has a need for the rituals to be completed least it be damaged like the holiday itself is some kind of withering god. Like an Aztec sacrifice to ensure the sun rises, it isn’t just the sort of thing you can delay.









Stargate SG1 - It’s like Star Trek with machineguns.
FarScape - It’s like Star Trek but the main cast are fugitives, there’s lots of muppets, and watching it makes you feel like you’re on drugs.
The Righteous Gemstones - Danny McBride made comedy farce about a horrible, vain, and stupid megachurch family.
Batman Beyond - Cyberpunk batman with an unparalleled intro sequence.
Jericho - Post apocalyptic show with a conspiracy mystery bent and heavy GWB GWOT flavor.
Kings - A sort of adaption of the story of King David in a modern setting.
