Today's the 960th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, so obviously I'm reposting my scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry in Playmobil.

It doesn't matter if you were instrumental in helping create death/black metal and made Seven Churches any and all goodwill should have ended the minute you accessed images of kids

Still actively want to see these bands, support peadophiles and shout down those who call this shit out. Further look at who is in power, these people are not held to any account. The only way is to deplatform these folks, the Inquisition show cancellation is a good start but more needs doing

Disabled but not his possession of images of children. This leads me to a larger point: the reluctance to remove people like these examples is definitely societal. Look at how many consequences have happened to people with way more power than those in poxy extreme bands, literally none and people

'this is why gatekeeping is needed' people still want to go out and see this band ribbet their way through songs. I recently saw a post somewhere about Possessed and the few comments talking about Jeff's past are shut down and yelled out of the room. The post itself talked about how Jeff became

Inquisition (of vocals sounding like a frog fame). Literally no repercussions for those bands long term have happened. Possessed still tour to rapturous acclaim and Inquisition still record and tour to frog-like applause. Inquisition had a tour date cancelled and the general consensus is that

Time for a ramble on the state of some extreme metal fans, boy howdy this is fun. So years back two major bands in the extreme metal scene had vocalists that were both caught on charges of possessing illegal images of children, how fun! These bands were Possessed (of Seven Churches fame) and

I bought a Switch 2 a few weeks ago, picked up a few games but playing through Breath of the Wild (last time I played it was Wii U version) and I am still not fully on board with the game. I do enjoy it but the lack of proper dungeons that take longer than 20 mins is really telling

Been playing about with speedpaints a little bit. Used an oak brown base, drybrushed paratrooper tan, command khaki the urban buff, finished with bloodmoon red. Wasn't sure how it would turn out but I like it, must try other colours next #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #AoS #fantasy #warhammerfantasy

For the first time since last Monday I left the house. The Mrs is still away on work until Saturday and I don't drive so with the bus stop being out of order it was a nightmare for me to get in to town. Luckily the roadworks are done so I went and bought the new Dan Jones book called Castles

Not done much this week but got my demon warband for Frostgrave finished. There is much I could do to them to improve but for now it's fine, including getting them in focus apparently #frostgrave #wargaming #miniaturepainting #ttrpg

I don't even like putting my hand under drawers or wardrobes to find stuff under there, never mind my whole body. Really freaked me out when they got to the water part. It's all some Victor Tooms shit squeezing in to places you really shouldn't be

Not actually got around to listening to it. Never seen them live either. To be fair I only have their first 3 albums, Metal Black and From The Very Depths. Pretty solid stuff for the most part but man, sucks it was so sudden too

That's wild, didn't they just have a new album and tour?

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

Not super familiar with them, only had their Heroes of Mighty Magic album but didn't get on with it. The covers do look a bit off, but seem in their wheelhouse. May just be the colour palette, AI tends to favour warmer tones

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Which band this time? I am hoping the new Dream Tröll album doesn't use AI but it's a solo band at this point so you never know

Thank you! Warcraft 2 is a vast improvement over the first and I remember playing a console version of it, think it was Saturn at a friend's house back in the day For AoE2 I only played the original version and the Aztec expansion pack beating all the campaigns, not played definitive version yet

What video game changed your life? I know it's supposed to be 1 but here's a bunch in order that I played them.....

I'm sure the fiancée won't mind traipsing through local charity shops for them That seems like a good place to start, allows me to paint a variety too which I do enjoy

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Yeah I know the minis are the same across both so that's all good, I am feeling looking more in to AS as a jumping off point as it fits more in what I want from a game

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
I have dabbled in historicals, mostly WW2 some Ancients and Medieval, oh and Pike and Shotte. Just feels Napoleonics are a little inevitable, I keep looking at the uniforms and thinking 'that looks cool, I could do that' then look at the rest of my unfinished historicals with a pang of guilt

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
May have a look around next payday to see what I can find for the books I don't mind the fiddly bits and part of the appeal is the over the top uniforms but having a bunch I can knock out quickly seems a good idea
120
Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Thinking AS may be a decent jumping off point as I rarely get chance to play anything at the best of times nevermind anything as complex as classic

I have been looking for a series to get in to, especially as I am running out of Crowner John to read. How come the greatcoats for the French? Is it just ease of painting?

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Are you meaning classic Battletech or Alpha Strike? 4 is manageable but isn't there like a tonne of different ones to choose from, never mind factions?

Sharpe Practice comes up alot so may look in to it Part of the appeal is the fancy hats and bright colours!

I had been getting through my grey pile quite well recently. My main problem is lack of space and if I can't get games in to justify the purchase it just stays in boxes or cabinets

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Yeah I always lean towards more skirmish based games since I flit about alot and the commitment is lower. May look in to Sharpe Practice, it comes up alot though sadly I don't watch/read the series

Swarley paints..... 🏳️‍⚧️ @cywilko604.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I feel the Epic battles range may be what I go for if I do. Or try a skirmish ruleset to scratch the itch without the huge commitment
