The fiancée is away for 10 days, leaving me and the cat alone. So we are both sad watching Crendor's recent StarCraft 1 playthrough

When I ordered my High Elf Blood Bowl team on MTO I didn't realise mine didn't come with a thrower. Much time later I have one! #BloodBowl #oldhammer #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wargaming

I don't often post #wip but I am enjoying painting the updated high elf #bloodbowl team. Slow progress but I don't want to burn out again, keeps me engaged too. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #TTRPG #wargaming

Carrying on with my #frostgrave wandering monsters, I decided to do a miniature that could be used as a lesser demon but also a genie. Also I made a treasure token to. Represent the lamp ore vessel. Was happy overall but I do need to watch a fee more tutorials on games to be happy with my technique!

I was reading the 20th anniversary of Space Wolf and had this old conversion knocking about so had a quick go. It's based on a Veteran Intercessor from really early on in the Primaris range and old Wolf bits. Need to work on the face but it's fine #warhammercommunity #40k #nerdlings #minipainting

Outlets reporting on Trump's statements that Canada wants the 'benefits' of being a US state are playing in to what he wants. He wants to be talked about, wants the attention. So outlets should just ignore what he says, report that talks have broken down but ignore Trump's outrageous rhetoric

Given Coronach by Hellripper another spin today. Still love that they can just be playing straight blackened-thrash into a literal waltz, get bored, careen into a solo, slow everything down have a 90's dance music style drum section then just carry on as though nothing happened and it not be a mess

So 15 or so of the 38(!) movies and shows (I ain't counting that shit) is 'required' watching for a single film? This is the main reason I dropped comic books, way too many things to watch/read just to keep up. For me it was Avengers v X-Men, 12 main issues, 6 prologue and umpteen tie-ins, madness

Been training a new starter at work for the past week and half. He was doing pretty good but then today I had a massive panic attack. Guilt of going home and leaving colleagues short staffed along with leaving the new kid on his own is a little overwhelming at the moment

Asking people not to use and shops not to sell, disposable BBQ 's is all well and good, but looks at the sheer number of people who didn't mask up during the pandemic. Those same people are now coming in to my store complaining they can't buy a BBQ. These are also the people starting fires

Everyone showing off their eclipse photos, I got one of a hot air balloon. Just out of frame is the eclipse but I figured hot air balloons in this neck of the woods is as rare as an eclipse and it's a bit unique

Been feeling burnt out painting lately. It just hit me yesterday when I finished off my first batch of Saxon ceorls for SAGA. My output has been high lately but enjoyment low. Hell even using the word 'output' is part of the problem, giving myself arbitrary deadlines to get things done is stressful

This happens in nearly all genres. With the death of Kerrang! magazine and others like it, it becomes harder to keep your finger on the pulse of heavier music. I can look at big festival artists and be 'who?' yet in the circles I run if you showed someone the biggest artist they would be the same
