Quotes (from this video)
- please explain painting Optical camouflage on spaceships I know rule of cool I don't know it just looked neat I guess that's the same thing
- all the stls that you buy or whether you buy the stuff through uh only games like if you get them printed like if you don't have a printer yourself they can do print on demand as well with those with those same six figures basically it's a 50/50 split
- it's literally you take off the little silicone kind of cover that goes over the whole nozzle thing so you don't burn yourself on it I guess you take that off you pop off the plastic thing there's a little clip little metal clip you uncp it and then you pull the nozzle out and the nozzle is magnetized so it doesn't like fall out as soon as you uncp it
- I saw a thing on Facebook about a machine that you just dump all your old pla into and it'll melt it all down and then create a new pla spool which I'm like well that sounds like an awesome idea
- I think they're that scared of 3D printing I think they don't want to do it
- I don't think that's really that's not the point is to to beat Games Workshop
- you create a game like Vince and I do or like fat dragon games does or like lots of different companies you create a game because you want to do it you're not out there to be like the best you're out there to put out a game that you enjoy and then hopefully people will pick up and enjoy as well

Quotes (from this video)
- it's so over complicated a lot of good ideas but terrible to play
- the models look really good but um it's also not cheap I swear to God I saw the retail on it for that starter box was like 150 bucks
- because you can now get a pretty decent looking print we can make more stuff like that
- I used to play silent death back in the day which was a game made by a company called iron Crown Enterprises we used to play the heck out of that
- it was definitely very kind of complicated as well but at the time being a younger person I enjoyed it quite a bit
- I don't know if I'm not sure if Vince has played ship combat games I have
- I use an iada uh Eclipse uh iada hpcs I think is the technical uh model name or whatever and I've always loved that thing it works great
- why you wouldn't have Federation versus Klingon AR Romulan as the starter factions in any Star Trek game it makes no logical sense to me
- so I was really hoping they were going to do something different with um with the new version and when they sent me like the copy and I was started reading the rules and stuff I was just like oh this is pretty much just the same
- there's a zillion charts in that game
- it was a little fiddly but not too fiddly
- I do wonder if making Star Trek games fairly complicated is part of knowing Their audience as a trekky I can safely say we tend to like that kind of crunch and the complexity
- I don't want to play too much crunch these days you know what I mean
- CPS speed paint through the airbrush on the bottom terrain is the goat indeed
- I made a video about how to make it so your airbrush never clogs again and I'm 98% sure I made that video
- I have never had a clog in my airbrush in a decade at this point
- hard to believe silent death was from the same company I mean probably different people obviously you know but yeah silent death sheets a bit like hero clicks whereas you take damage
- the tabletop minions Awards will be coming out on Friday so less than a week away tabletop minions awards for 2024
