After trying out citadel paints with my previous post, I bought and painted this Tech-Priest Enginseer at my local shop and tried my best to keep a steady hand. Let me know how I did!

Thank you! After applying the base mephiston red coat, I dipped a bit of leadbelcher silver on my brush and dabbed it along several edges and large surfaces to give that chipped paint look. After that, I attacked my figure with an xacto knife to give it even more damage and reveal the black primer underneath.

 

First time using Citadel paints they felt amazing to use! Getting my hands on some miniatures soon I'm excited to get into this.

Update: I just randomly figured it out right after waking up!

Solution: All you have to do is create this folder path: "Android/data/com.hoplite.spacehulk/files" create any folders you don't see here on your phone that's it. I was apparently missing a "files" folder within that space hulk folder.

The quickest way to check if this works:

  1. Open the app after creating those folders
  2. Click "continue" or "cancel" on the Google Play pop up screen (it doesn't matter which you click apparently)
  3. Go to settings
  4. Change the language to any language (perhaps one you can kinda sorta understand enough to change back to your preferred language, Spanish for me)
  5. Press the "Back" button (or whatever it says now in the language you picked like "Atras") until you're back to the main menu and it'll save
  6. Sit on that main menu for a couple seconds to make sure it saves the language and close the app completely
  7. Reopen and see if the language sticks
 

Not sure if this is the right place but I exhausted all options that I could think of.

I recently learned there was an (now-delisted) Android app port/game for Space Hulk made in 2013 based on the very same board game and really wanted to have it on my phone. It took some searching, but I managed to get the app up and running on my phone after installing the APK from PDALife and transferring cache files in the Android/obb/com.hoplite.spacehulk folder.

The app itself actually runs great when I'm playing it for the session, but the problem is that it doesn't want to save anything whatsoever, whether it's progress or even basic settings, but I gave it all the permissions it asked for. I attempted running it offline, in airplane mode, reinstalling, deleting cache/data, and even tried adding a folder named "com.hoplite.spacehulk" within my Android/data folder as I read that works for some apps.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with Android version 14 if that helps

Per the official Stop Killing Games FAQ: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq (apologies if formatting ends up looking weird)

Q: Aren't you asking companies to support games forever? Isn't that unrealistic?

A: No, we are not asking that at all. We are in favor of publishers ending support for a game whenever they choose. What we are asking for is that they implement an end-of-life plan to modify or patch the game so that it can run on customer systems with no further support from the company being necessary. We agree it is unrealistic to expect companies to support games indefinitely and do not advocate for that in any way. Additionally, there are already real-world examples of publishers ending support for online-only games in a responsible way, such as:

'Gran Turismo Sport' published by Sony 'Knockout City' published by Velan Studios 'Mega Man X DiVE' published by Capcom 'Scrolls / Caller's Bane' published by Mojang AB 'Duelyst' published by Bandai Namco Entertainment etc.

You forgot Walker Boone, who voiced Mario in the shows following Super Show.

That being said, considering I actually cosplayed as Lou Albano's Mario, I'll go with the captain 🫡.

Idk mood's been soured for me ever since they threw Mick Gordon to the curb.

This Vivian was originally designed by @fixated-draws-things on Tumblr, and I really wanted to turn it into a 3D sculpt! Character was sculpted in Nomad Sculpt, base and decor done in Blender, and final lighting and rendering done in Blender.

Closest you can get to that experience that I know of is the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. They got all kinds of machines, old and new, that only take quarters. Isn't just pinball machines either, they got a sizeable amount of arcade cabinets.

To start, I was never the biggest fan, and I fell off of the game theories and lore speculation around the time the third game came out. I already knew going in I wasn’t going to catch all the references or lore. That being said, I was expecting there to at least be a coherent, if simple, story.

Without getting into spoilers, I thought the movie was bad, mostly because of the final act. The film has a simple premise (which isn’t a bad thing), but still felt the need to throw curveballs with zero explanation. Several characters were frustratingly driven by nothing other than the urge to move the plot forward, only having motivation when the plot demands them to reveal it out of nowhere. The animatronics themselves had no unique characteristics or quirks to them (except Foxy, but only barely), and were all basically interchangeable. I thought the movie was maybe average, at least until the final act severely brought it down for me.

I'd say its biggest strength is that this is the only dock you can guarantee will continually have firmware updates to support the Steam Deck.

Gordon Ramsey Burger in Vegas was maybe one of the best craft burgers I've had.

I've been playing the hell out of this game. It's so addicting. Some levels are actually pretty challenging, I probably would have raged hard as a kid.
