That said, I still struggle a bit with the sense of FOMO that seems baked into a lot of the more (hobbyist) mainstream wargames and boardgames culture, and trying to extract myself from the ideas of what I was excited about 10 or 20 years ago but never got to realise for whatever reason... 🫠

One of the most fun times I've ever had wargaming as a kid was multi-handing some rules from a second-hand Dragon magazine using a set of (unpainted) 1/72 American soldiers and a bunch of dinosaur models I already had...

Neanderthal woodworking at Abric Romaní: Insights into the role of wood in a Middle Palaeolithic domestic context
Wood technology likely played a key role in human evolution, yet it remains poorly documented because organic materials rarely preserve in archaeological contexts. The Middle Palaeolithic site of Abri...

Onslaught, from Marvel Crisis Protocol by @atomicmassgames.bsky.social I wanted a different colour scheme and found that Magneto (who provides half of Onslsught’s psychic consciousness, it’s complicated) sometimes wears a white costume.

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.
Three small silhouette drawings in black ink. The first is of a sitting fox, looking back over its shoulder at a bird on the branch of a little bare shrub. The second has a playful-looking fox, half-crouched, tail in the air, looking at a bird which has just taken off from a branch. The third shows a fox, surprised, its head drawn slightly back, as it seems to have come upon a pumpkin on the ground, surrounded by its vines. It has a face like a carved jack-o'-lantern.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green looks at Blue as Blue is dramatically laying down on the floor.
Blue: You can go ahead and go to that party. I'll just be here by my self, alone.

Green looks at Blue with a frustrated frown, as Blue sticks his tongue out while making a disgusted face.
Green: You could also come with me.
Blue: I don't like people.

Green raises an eyebrow.
Green: Don't I count as "people?"
Blue: Of course not. You're the love of my life.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
