It looks like someone tried to convert an air traffic control tower into a house and added on a garage.

Bird in a Blender posted:If you got enough snow you could have a sweet ramp off that roof. Alternatively, you can practice reenacting the Austin Tower shooting. When we were teenagers my brother and I built a snow pile transition ramp up to the bottom edge of the garage roof and boarded down the roof into the backyard that we made a bunch of different jumps and rails you could it, it owned Dad of course was not pleased when he found out we were snowboarding on the shingles

I'm not at all opposed to an observation tower attached the house, and to be honest I think it's an awesome idea. But making it a prison guard tower is the dumbest possible way to do it.

I sucked at painting (poor motor control), sucked at playing, and eventually, and I'm sorry that this is so stereotypical, started dating and getting laid, and lost my tolerance for hanging with other nerds. I still follow Battletech (which has undergone a very very miniatures-led renaissance) and 40K storyline stuff, because I invested a huge amount of time in the genre fiction for those two IPs as a teenager. There are folks out there that are actually the exact opposite, who love painting the minis but genuinely don't care much for the fiction. edit- although at this point it's more "reads the wikis" than reads the novels

The cabin we rented for our fantasy football draft one weekend had a tower like that place. We made the guy who got last place sleep in it. He loved it except that it would get bright at dawn and hot after a couple hours.

Or is that odd The majority of people that I know of who engage with WH40k do so through all of the stuff that isn't miniatures. Admittedly it's a small sample size on my end but I've heard mostly positive things about the books and games based on that source material.

I have not read them (nor any 40k books) but I understand they are very very too long, like there's what a dozen+ horus heresy books. Goons over in TG always recommend the gaunts ghosts stuff so take GD's advice. Also if you just want to have fun laughing at the 40k art (and skeletons and opossums and scrunts), the CCCC 40k thread is the cool thread. Don't bother reading the whole thing just jump in.

The Ciaphas Cain books are well-written and have a solid core of humor in them (think Commissar Black Adder), as well. I forgot the author (googled- Sandy Mitchell). Also, the Night Lords books (Aaron Dembowski-Brown) are a really good change of pace, in that they follow a Chaos Space Marine chapter that has some truly odd practices.

I quoted the wikis part because looking it up I'm like 'Ok I can start at any of these 187 different novels...' Anyway I might give some of the suggestions a shot after getting through my current real history kick and need a break.

I'd need to see more than this too but at the same time this being somehow personal seems a little more likely than these guys saying "Well we're cops, gotta do some killin'" It's a gross abuse of power either way e: I guess what I'm saying is that instead of jumping to "this is definitely bullshit" it should be more along the lines of it doesn't matter whether or not it's true, it's still a group of police using their state power to murder a guy to settle a personal beef Intruder fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jan 31, 2023 |

Stanley Tucheetos posted:Honestly if you cut the garages and everything left of the ladder it would be a weird but kinda cool house. That's not a ladder. It's a huge radio mast. Like that thing is somehow a radio station and lookout tower as well as a house. I'm leaning towards it being a national forest service lookout tower, although if it is it's been heavily remodeled. But at least then the radio mast makes some sense. Alternate explanation: there's a private landing strip/airport behind the camera and that's literally the airport tower. Neither of these explanations really work though because the tower is shorter than the surrounding trees and that means it doesn't have the visibility it should.

Trying to think of a good “permission to buzz the tower” joke and can’t think of anything. Also I didn’t play the miniature 40k/fantasy games but had friends in high school/college who did, but what my dorky rear end did do with them was the Warhammer PnP RPG during some summer/winter breaks in college. It’s a whole lot more low fantasy than Dungeons and Dragons, which brings its own charms.

And if it turns out that it’s bullshit, oh well it’s too late because that story is already out there. I’m worried about media at large picking this up without real proof because if they do it’s over and people will move on.

Last week’s Shutdown Fullcast podcast episode went into great detail about comparing 40K factions to college football teams, and it was pretty wonderful for it. Anybody with and Xbox or PC and GamePass needs to go download Hi-Fi Rush, a super stylish Devil May Cry/action game with a focus on rhythm. It’s a lot of fun.

One thing I will say in support of the 40k books is that you can pretty much start anywhere and get a sense of the setting. Continuity isn't a huge deal, except concerning the specific characters in a narrative series. harperdc posted:Last week’s Shutdown Fullcast podcast episode went into great detail about comparing 40K factions to college football teams, and it was pretty wonderful for it. If you sit right in the Venn overlap of the two very specific types of fandoms, that episode was an amazing treat. Roll drat Tyranids.

I think we’re on the same page. If it’s true it should be reported as such but right now it’s just a rumor from some site we’ve never heard of so we probably shouldn’t amplify it, even if it’s just on this dead forgotten forum.

I quit my computer repair business 11 years ago because my third child was born and I didn’t want to miss her growing up just to chase a buck. I just received another call eleven years later asking if I still fixed PCs. I still get these from time to time. Not gonna lie, it’s a small boost to my sense of pride knowing that my name is still being recommended from people when I shut down my business so long ago. Must’ve done something right!
