It's in a weird place because of the decision they made about it but it's really dumb. Like, as I said, it's not addressing the issue, and it's not ignoring the issue, so it's just like "Hey, guys. Here's a thing. What do you think of that?".

Kind of like when Bioshock Infinite did the thing of "Well maybe racism is bad but maybe anti-racism is also bad, so, here's an issue that exists we're not really going to comment on". It's tone-deaf, more than anything.

Also there was a billion plots they could have picked from previous GITS incarnations and they went with one that was ridiculous instead so that was also pretty dumb. I guess "We had a japanese ghost we decided to put into a more marketable american frame" is a rough summary of the entire film.

So, the vet totally did not do the tests, even though CC4C requested them, because... well, they didn't write it down, or who knows. This particular vet office is always kind of overworked and sometimes that leads to sloppiness. Which sucks, because cats with feline leukemia have to be put down. He probably doesn't have it, but I have to bring him back for the tests.

He'll also need his vaccinations. And, the neuter surgery has to wait, because the wound with all the maggots in it is too close to his catballs.

No if I was aroused by the miniature I would almost certainly consider the £7 to be well spent though.

It was this hacker lady and it was an impulse purchase because I thought the helmet and big hair looked cool and fun to paint

On the plus side my experience of sick animals is that they're usually too fed up and tired to immediately eviscerate every piece of furniture in your house. That's an exciting present for when they're better.

Yeah, when I took in the hurt bunny (which I never heard any updates on :smith:) I was super nervous that he'd escape and gently caress everything in my apartment up and hurt himself more but he was content to just lie in his little box.

I sure hope he got helped. :ohdear:

If 5 space marines cost £25 and I just purchased a single Infinity alien lady for £7 aren't I basically worse than a GW?

It's a lousy price per model, but the difference is you only need to spend £50 total and you have basically all the Infinity you'll ever need. 5 space marines isn't even a starting point for full 40k and you'll have dozens to a hundred models more to buy to be able to play.

I was just taking a stab. I don't actually know what a reasonable Infinity force costs. I just assumed it was less than 40k because everyone keeps saying Infinity is a skirmish game. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

The infinity starters are 90 euros right now, and my understanding is that those give you about 1/3 of a tournament army list.

I'm not super familiar with the game but there are 300 point starter boxes for Infinity that are supposedly a complete standard sized army right out of the box. You can get them for about $75-$100 dollars at various webstores online.
