My Life In Fandom: This Is How You Get Alternatives Before Normie Eyeballs

When folks say "I want solutions", this is the sort of thing they're talking about. Start with the complaint, transition to the alternative, and walk the Normie through the details. Commissar Garza isn't monomoniacal about the Stupid British Toy Company--just look at his channel--but he's being smart in using it to divert attention to a useful, practical, and immediately actionable alternative course of action that directly attacks both the problem and the trouble-maker.

This? This is the best of his videos doing this tactic. From here you can dig around for more information, including doing searches for that website he mentioned (which does exist), including asking around to see if anyone you can trust already has this set up if you don't want to bother doing so yourself. As for results?

Yeah, the up-front cost is worth it if you're a committed tabletop player. However--and this is where Normies should pay attention--this is more than a toy maker. With the right settings, files, and materials you can produce useful tools and parts for more everyday things. Need to replace that knob on your car's shifter? Done. Put a handle on your screwdriver? Done. Make a complete lower receiver for an AR-15 or a Glock 19 build? More tricky, but still done. (How do you think the manufacturers of Polymer80 kits do it?)

Pair this up with a home CNC milling machine like a Ghost Gunner and you're able to cull a lot of trips to Walmart, Home Depot, and the game store. Again, pricy up-front cost to set up but pays for itself quickly by reducing your productions costs to nearly nil.

The means are there to begin cutting out converged corporations. We need only to avail ourselves of them. We'll be better off for it.
