Played a ripping round of 4-team #gaslands with local pals last night. Today heard the news of the 3rd edition coming soon from @planetsmashergames.bsky.social Can’t wait, might have to try to get beta access 💀

Gonna #gaslands this sweet garage sale find. Bonus points for actually being the correct scale. Will likely keep the original paint job and just weather this war rig.

Adobe finally killed off Flash. I started using it in the late 1990s and created SO MUCH work with it over the past 25+ years. It had its issues, but overall was a beloved piece of software. I don't know how I'm going to find the time to export all my work. Boggles the mind. What am I gonna do.
Text from an Adobe email reading "We’re contacting you to let you know that Adobe will be discontinuing Adobe Animate on March 1, 2026. As an existing Animate user, you may continue to use Animate, but please note that technical support will no longer be available after March 1, 2027."

LOL my bad, I am referring to the small cardboard tubes at the center of a roll of plastic “poop” bags. The bags are used to pick up pet waste and dispose of. As a dog owner I end up with all these cardboard tubes which are perfect for tabletop pipes :D

Today’s 4-hour, 4-player #gaslands death race was a nail-biter, all but 2 of 8 vehicles were wrecked, ending in a stalemate. Plenty of explosions and some very clever driving.

#gaslands table getting set up for Death Race. Making sure this route loops back on itself so cars are likely to be head-on in the final stretch. Assuming no major explosions at the starting line.

Prepping my #gaslands play area for a couple matches later today. Made these modular terrain tiles during pandemic lockdown before I got a new dining room table. Looks like I have room for another 8 tiles :(
