Journal of Failure - Feb 2021

Welcome to the first journal of failure entry! We have a lot to cover.

Was Warhammer 40K ever fun?

I had a nostalgic ping around the new year for my pre-teen years playing Warhammer 40,000. Back then I was playing 2nd edition Orks, Imperial Guard and Chaos. Most games were just us arguing about rules, and I can't ever remember actually playing a mission - it was always a fight to the death (or until our parents picked us up).

Now, a lot has changed in that time. 9th edition is the new shiz. But who cares about staying up to date? I'm still longing for building the perfect 2nd edition lists, actually playing a real mission, and maybe taking the rulebooks advice that all arguments can be settled with a dice roll and some civilized conversation later.

So I set out to try to find on eBay an old book which had some great battle scenes. After a lot of searching I found the Battles book. I'm pretty sure this is what I had back in the day, hauling it to summer camp and back.

The book is a collection of White Dwarf articles, a few battle reports, a few special rules, and a new mission.

So my goal, at least originally set out, was to find some mission I would want to play and build armies for it. Just something small. In the Battles book there's one that involves some battle bunkers. It's laid out as a fight of about 500pts between Space Marines and Orks. The Space Marines get two battle bunkers to setup in their deployment zone, and the Orks get additional victory points for capturing them. What's interesting is that the Orks can have an entire 10 ork squad and their dreadnought return upon being killed as a second wave, entring from either the left or right as a flanking attack later in the game.

This sounded great, all I needed was to build these out! But, as I thought more about things (never ends well) I started to deviate.

The first thing was looking at the prices of models. Damn... they're really not cheap at all. Were they this expensive when they were pewter? For plastic miniatures I would expect some price reduction.

Then came the question of whether I wanted to build either of these armies. Space Marines (the entire imperium) are really just facists right? But once you open that can of worms things go downhill rather quickly. Do we really want to glorify war? Are these armies satires anymore?

Searching the internet to try and come to terms with my concerns certainly didn't help much. I left feeling the only viable army was Tyranids, since they're single minded and only interested in the devouring of everything.

Now, interestingly enough back in 2007 I bought a bunch of Tyranids. They sat in a box for years, and I gave some away, but to my surprise I actually had a bunch stuck in the garage still. That was 20 hormaguants, 3 tyranid warriors, 2 carnifexes and some ForgeWorld models that were definitely not in 2nd edition.

At this point I can't say I've made any decision on what I'll do going forward. Maybe I won't build anything. Maybe I'll just build out the terrain and do some painting, but not make any commitments to actually play.

With that, I'm looking into various painting techniques. I had some good luck with dry brushing some hormaguants, but as it was pointed out online, this leaves a rather "chalky" look. Now, what is considered the best way to build up and blend is using glazing. Lots of thin coats of paint using a glazing medium. This sounds incredibly time consuming and tedious. Stay tuned!

Mechanical Keyboards - take my money pleeeez!

For better or for worst I like mechanical keyboards. Now I'm not looking for my hash tag "end game", but I am for some reason still buying and building them. My latest purchases recently arrived - GMK Kaiju and two DZ60 PCBs. Awhile back I bought two MelGeek Mojo60 cases, but I was still using an old holtite-equiped Banana Split board that was very flakey (because of my installation of the holtites most likely).

I'll make another post with some photos, but in general the board is GMK Kaiju, DZ60 PCB, Black MelGeek Mojo60 and box pink Kaihl switches. The fly in the ointment though is that 1. the stabs for delete key were sticking, so I removed them, and 2. even though the internet says differently, I cannot type a backtick using Fn + Esc.

There is of course another thing, and that is I didn't realize that the PCB uses a tap-and-hold right shift that doubles as "/". Back when I was using the foobar (a split gherkin), which exploits these tap-and-hold keys for all the fn keys, I got really tired of them because you can't reasonably type faster than 30wpm due to the tap term settings etc. I tried to adjust these, but ended up with something worse than the defaults. So now I have to dig into his issue again. Great!

In the queue

With 40k, keyboards, sofubi... what other things could I possibly be interested in? Let me list the other things that are on-hold -

Magic, The Gathering

Music

Programming

Well that's all for this post. Hobby on!

I first had the legend gaming mouse and have loved it .Also have another gaming keyboard by Reddragon and love.Just bought another model Reddragon gaminging keyboard and like it very much so far. Also bought a legend gaming mouse for my grandson and he loves it. Had a few keyboards in my gaming life which spans 25 years, but the Redragon K570 is a great piece one of the best purchases I have ever made. Very sturdy love the feel of this keyboard, its like moving from a cheap car to a Ferrari. DEFINITELY THE BEST KEYBOARD I HAVE USED!I BOUGHT THIS KEYBOARD FOR MOSTLY FPS SHOOTERS ON PC AND I HAVE FALLEN INLOVE WITH IT!VERY SMOOTH AND DURABLE. MADE OF METAL AND A NICE FINISH.THE FULL RGB LOOKS AMAZING AND SUITS WHATEVER COLOR IM FEELING THAT DAY.HIGH QUALITY AND HEAVY SO IT DOES NOT SLIDE ON DESK. BLUE SWITCHES WHICH SOUND AMAZING!I GIVE IT A 10/10! Got this for my grandson and he loves it. Quick response and beautiful light! Perfect with LOL! This looked like a solid keyboard but came with a few defects. I had contacted the company and I must say that they had one of the BEST customer service experiences! If you want a clicky/clacky keyboard, get the blue switch keyboard! You won’t be disappointed. I also changed the key caps to HyperX pudding key caps and all the keys got on this keyboard with no problem! What do you know? It worked! She had used mechanical keyboards for years and over the past 3 or 4 years shes been back to the membrane boards. Shes been enjoying the K570 for the past week or so and hasnt touched the membrane while at home. Ive got different switches arriving tomorrow for the board that are more to her liking that can be quickly installed since the board has a hotswappable PCB (holtites). Great board that is surprisingly well built, quite fully featured for the price point, and a great price (sub $80, even sub $100 this is a good choice for someone wanting a full size layout).POSITIVE* Nice weight (nearly 3lbs)* Sturdy and well built case (especially for the price)* Low price* Hotswappable PCB (holtites) so you can try other switches out on the fly without having to have experience soldering/desoldering. * SMD RGB Leds* Well packed* Comes with several other switches (Outemu Browns, Outemu Reds, Outemu Blacks, Outemu Blues) for you to try out. Board comes with Outemu Blues (clicky/tactile) switches. * Multiple LED modes (see video for short demo, please note its not inclusive of all of the modes)* Desktop software for customizing LED setup (appears to be Windows only, sorry Linux & Mac users) for setting up custom LED presets (ie: WASD for an FPS game, or the MOBA keys for MOBA players, etc). KEYBOARD WORKS ON ALL PLATFORMS, IT IS JUST THE DESKTOP LED SOFTWARE THAT APPEARS TO BE WINDOWS ONLY. * Claims to be spill resistant, have not tested this. * The feet are sturdy and rubberized so you dont have to worry about damaging your desk or having it slide around or wobble. * Fairly long USB Cable* Standard layout so you can easily switch keycaps out for other keycap profiles (ex: Cherry Profile, DSA, SA, XDA, OEM, etc) without having to worry about wonky bottom rows like many Corsair & Razer boards have (odd 6u spacebars, etc)VARIOUS NOTES/ITEMS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED FOR FUTURE RELEASES* TKL (Tenkeyless size board) option* Detachable USB cable* Option to purchase board with Browns/Reds/Blacks as main switches instead of Blues. * Non floating key design would be preferred if this was a keyboard for me, however, it doesnt seem to bother my fiancée that the case is low profile/floating keys. * Would love an option to purchase with Cherry MX Silent Blacks or Cherry MX Silent Red switches (clearly this would increase the price)* Personally I would prefer to have thicker keycaps installed from the factory & in Cherry profile as opposed to OEM profile ABS. However, this is pretty standard especially at this price point and since its a 100% standard board its easy & inexpensive to replace them with something that is more suited to my liking. For the money, nothing beats it. No need to spend more then 100$ anymore. Thanx for watching m... by Shopping Reviews

Mill Max sockets 0305 - budget, good if you have enough room between the PCB and the case, easier than 7305 to solder Mill Max sockets 7305 - more expensive than 0305, good if you don't have a lot of room between your PCB and the case, more difficult than 0305 to solder. Holtite - more expensive than 7305, good if you don't have a lot of room between your PCB and the case, no need to be soldered, but more difficult than 7305 if decided to be soldered. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #mechanicalkeyboards #keyboard #keycaps #keycap #customcable #artisankeycaps #artisan #geekhack #cherrymx #rmk #gaming #videogaming #gamingpc #gamingsetup #mechkeyboard #pcmr #gamer #rgb #reddit #gamingislife #pcmasterrace #pcgaming #gamerpc #rgblights #handmade #battlestation #usbcables #gamingsetups (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmFIQmHUmA/?utm_medium=tumblr
