Happy bi visibility day! I was always friends with girls growing up and whilst I had some truly love filled support form them, they also gave AWFUL advice for a teenage boy trying to navigate the world. For example "just come out and if anyone says anything, pull a knife on them" is insane advice.

Happy bi visibility day! For years I would avoid certain songs i liked because I was afraid people would figure me out if i seemed to like the wrong things. they weren't even all overtly queer songs, I just grew up in the 00's and being both alt and bi would have got my shit kicked in twice as much.

got my foot caught and ate shit on my driveway - face, wrist and knee straight into the concrete. nothing hurts right now, But it remains to be seen if the god of 30somethings will decide to bless or punish me. Only a good nights sleep will tell.

A really lovely review of "in the land of the sundering flood" over at tabletop battles! It's also very cool to see the book in the gardens of the William Morris museum. The PDF of ItLoTSF is on wargames vault now, or get the book from mammoth miniatures. www.tabletopbattles.com/tabletop-bat...

my new petty hobby is responding "Who's that?" every time someone brings up a youtuber to me in a comment section. Even if i know who they are. big or small, good or bad, as far as the wider web goes I have heard of none of them.

I like to think of myself as easy going but that all goes out the window when I'm in my studio and the person in the next room has come in just to watch tiktok and plan their holiday very very loudly with their friend. Then I am not easy going, then I want to have people flogged in the town square.

There's a shop in the village with an advert in the window for dairy goods, but they went with an AI image so it looks like they sell bottles of cum instead of milk.

2 out of 4 books finished from the planet 28 kickstarter. S.M.E.G and WarWorldOne are both now with the proof reader and finished pending alterations. The state of higher education might be worrying, but it has given me loads of time to get stuff finished so that's something.

Working on new illustrations for planet 28 and I decided to do something I rarely do and add colour. Normally that means getting out the inks but I figured I'd use gimp. All the colours as sampled from the cover of a tintin comic.

Why was i looking up latex on canvas? Why, because im developing a range of 3d textured rollable paintable wargame mats of course.

Software companies - you need to start coming up with better names for things. I'm looking for examples of latex on canvas but all im getting is maths based coding nonsense. stop using existing words for your godless machine talk.

Every now and then i have a couple of months where i feel like blowing my brains out in the dairy isle of tesco. To focus my mind on something else i have been trying to properly learn digital sculpting after years of sort of not quite getting it. Here's the results (of the sculpting,not the brains)

Why do I get so many emails? only 1 in every 50 is actually for me, the rest are just directionless advertising or digital tumbleweed. what is all this shit? why is it so vital that it keeps being sent to me? can't we all just agree that it's bollocks and just stop sending this crap to each other?

I need a giant or perhaps large person to grab me tenderly by the head and wiggle me until every bone in my body pops like a christmas cracker. I need to be put on a rack and stretched until my spine screams like a speaker picking up an incoming text. I need to be wrung like a tea towel.

Friend at work went for his "consultation" meeting and was told "You're being made redundant, there may be jobs you can apply for, but everyone else will be going for them, also it's bank staff" and fuck me if that hasn't soured the mood in the break room. looking forward to my turn this week.

Meeting with my union rep this afternoon to prepare for the first of the official "dude where's my job" meetings next week. There is a SMALL chance I can swing this whole thing to get the exact hours I petitioned for two years ago, but I'll hold out for just not being made redundant.

Good news! planet 28 finished onover £29k! the biggest mammoth minis KS to date and WAY more than I had ever hoped. Bad news! the university I work for is making technician redundancies and I'm staring down the barrel of a 20% paycut! Medium news! I found a pack of polo's in my bag.

CMON used to have a catalouge of very good games that could have provided them with not insane but reliable income for years to come, but alas the need to feed the shareholders means they are locked in to the kickstarter mega game ecosystem. which is a shame because they used to be a genuine hub...

Relistening to the foundation audiobooks and man I wish there was a proper foundation tabletop game, I wish I was in charge of writing it, and I also wish the series got as much credit as dune for influencing 40k because there is WAY MORE of it than there is dune.

Post post salute - It took a few days for the con cough to get me but here I am at work with a sore throat and sinuses more stuffed than a mules backside. If I was smart I would have booked a few days off post salute but instead I went straight back into the classroom. Woe, woe the miniaturist fool.

This years super tiny skirmish demo board! This was a fun and quick build over a couple of days (with a concussion break in the middle) and my brother in law ran a good few games throughout the day, with the cult of the red death defending their stronghold of dankskull mountain. #salute53

If you've never played planet 28 you might think "what makes it different from any other skirmish game?" and one of the answers is the toolbox approach to game design. you can play planet 28 in any number of ways. The game is made to be modular, so you can play in any number of ways! #planet28
