Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.
As a man I've been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I'm not sure where you're getting this from.

100%, I can't even imagine the pull GW would have if they entered the 3D printing space. They can't even get out of their own way to make money, they're idiots.
People are still playing? That's tempting, I still haven't found something that hits the spot this game did.
That company has this amazing ability to suck the fun out of even the most interesting things. Their greed is honestly shocking, even Wizards of the Coast isn't that bad with Magic: The Gathering and no one thinks of MTG as having a fair or reasonable cost of entry.
My friend got himself a resin printer for much less than the cost of an army and started making and painting his own figurines. He's having a great time.
I don't typically see people advocate for the cheapest gear, just not to go all-in. There is something to be said for how much you can learn from stuff that requires a bit more tuning or customization.
In airsoft we had people who didn't even know there were other options show up with $40 clear plastic guns from Walmart (they're awful) and guys with $2000 air-powered guns from the best brands show up all the time, and both of these people sucked. Typically, they both also had a bad time, because neither could realistically learn anything from their guns considering they were already as good as they were ever going to be.
My advice was always to start with a low-mid range electric rifle that can take a high-capacity magazine. Having like 400+ shots in a match is more than enough. Pick a design that is easy to get parts and accessories for so you can build on it. Someday you grow out of it and then you drop the real money on an airsoft rifle, but you can run a good starter rifle for a long time. I only replaced mine because it catastrophically broke after years of rough play: I learned a lot from modifying it and it made my next gun choice much more educated that I ever could have managed as a newbie.
Saw "buyhard" in this thread and it is 100% going to replace whale and wallet warrior for me lol.
Whales is the industry term in gaming lol. I do like buyhard though.
I live in one of the more humid areas of Canada and when people tell you it can't get humid when it's that cold I wonder if they've ever experienced how the cold can just cut right through your clothes.
Summer humidity is absolutely the worst though, and people die here every year because of it.
I still strongly dislike limiting cosmetics so much, especially in a setting where they can mean so much. Darktide's $20 skins pissed me right off: role-playing is 100% part of the game and that price is absurd.
Going from game port to USB with "plug and play" was a huge deal man. Not having to manually assign IRQ to get your audio working too lol. That said, there is still one thing that was cursed in the old days and remains cursed now: printers. Fuck printers.
Audiophile equipment is just magic crystal bullshit for pseudointellectuals.
mansplaining is a made-up idea lol
