No Blogging Allowed

And then its followups... It has enough of them, with enough different stuff they do, that it really is interesting, and it's not totally fake. It's not "just look for exactly followup X and kill Anji if he does it"; there's enough going on that the defender can't just blow up everything on reaction, but also each followup is really fair and you aren't getting schmixed with nothing you can do.

Rin and Force Break Rin (H and D followups) are a great pair; I like how it's not even about "reacting to block high" particularly, since even though FB Rin is much-faster the Force Break sound and graphic tell you to block high. No, FB Rin is there to counter hit you when you thought you were reacting to the early startup of regular Rin with a low! (Or to force you to block and let Anji be plus, since you know you don't have time to CH it with a low on reaction, or at least attempting to do so is extremely risky.)

The P followup that throws the fans is the kind of pressure-reset option that I like, where if you are really committed to holding downback to react to the other stuff, it can exploit you.

The K followup, the hop, is nice in the context of the rest. Just another little thing that would be fake on its own but there's enough different options so Anji should try to use it sometimes, and possibly get over your move with it.

Nagiha (the S followup) is also cool in being nominally unsafe, but also letting Anji frame-trap arbitrarily from (minus but generally safe) Fuujin itself. Anji keeps catching me with small-gap Nagiha when I try to do Fafnir as a callout for Rin, after blocking Fuujin!

Just slowly obliterating the notion that there could be anything one would want to measure, let alone that one could do it...

I think it's fair to call them education-nihilist! If one took their arguments seriously, one might give up on education entirely! Abolish it! Boko Haram!

What you gotta do is travel back in time and somehow cause there to be real scale-matches that cross over between these two worlds! Because it'd be such an easy sell if you could tell people "well sure, in subject matter that dollhouse convention isn't what you usually do, but it IS the same scale as all your armor, so..."!

And then it would be very natural for this crossover in conventions to occur; if you were both in 1/35 or 1/12 or whatever, then of course it would make sense to have a shared convention, with many vendors making products that are applicable for both!

Also, obviously the marriages that come about because of this will be extremely stable; none of that "well my wife doesn't like the Lego room" stuff, when you're sharing a modeling workshop because the fact you were both into it is what got you together!

Started with the white, the old Vallejo white primer I have lying around, and... It was disastrous. Near-clogs instantly every time, and actual full clogs pretty quickly. I got a LITTLE white onto one of them.

The VMS black worked fine. Primed all the undead with few and minor clogs. Did the two AoS models in black, then went back and put a warm brown on them, to make autumnal schemes easy.

And then hours later noticed that Damian Sperling needs a bit more primer on 'im, from some angles... But whatever; I have plenty more models that need to be primed. He can just go in the next batch.

The early parts of the priming session really were horrible... I was starting to doubt everything, and it was uncomfortably hot out (and way too bright really!), and I just wondered if I would actually get anything done... But no, it was just the old white primer disagreeing with the airbrush.
