Finished Resident Evil 2 Remake, that was really good!

I'm not loving any of these enough to instantly want to go back and do the other character but once I get to the end of the series I might go back to the start and do the reverse runs.

Got to the part of Resi 2 where a big fella with a hat follows me around and I've got no bullets left. This game hates me.

Learning about an apparent Neopets 5e conversion exclusively through the incredulous comments people are leaving on it is way better than actually finding the doc and reading it

Showing Hannibal to Danielle and Gillian Anderson's appearance in that might have something to do with this

I'm thinking it's time to finally watch The X-Files and see what that's all about

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Also this isn't a podcast but Cameron played through Final Fantasy VIII once on YouTube and had the only good opinions about that game that I've ever heard from a 'content creator' so you should also watch that (and listen to everything else Ranged Touch does that I didn't mention)

Mages & Murderdads - As far as I can tell, it's the only podcast about the Baldur's Gate games and games in that lineage. It's a joy to revisit these, especially with two people who have extensive D&D backgrounds - which I do not because numbers are boring.

Too Much Future - Like the above, but for the Fallout games! They play all of them, and talk about them. One thing they do incredibly well through all these projects is put them into their contexts and it brings so much to them over a typical read/watch/play podcast.

Shelved By Genre - Like the above, but for genre works instead and joined by Austin Walker (who we all agree is wonderful and insightful). They've got Book of the New Sun, they've got Junji Ito, and now they're doing all of the big JRR Tolkien works! It's the Lord of the Year!

No such thing as a favourite, they're all good. I'll highlight a few I've listened to the most:

Just King Things - they read & discuss the works of Stephen King in publication order! It's fantastic, especially as someone who read a lot of King growing up, as I'm sure many of you have!

Y'know I think I've gotten a bit better at painting since I last tried painting Tyranids six years ago.

Should really take the time to try to strip these and repaint them for my Behemoth Hive .

Last of my old model Tyranids done, I'm only on current sculpts from now on and thank god for that. These were a nightmare in comparison, even though they were quicker to paint because of the much simpler form.

Started playing Snooker 19 today. Glad to report I'm as bad at it as I am at snooker in real life.

@wormbuxx.bsky.social Not sure if you're aware but your Twitter account is DM'ing very suspicious links to your followers/mutuals

It's become meditation for me. Takes enough concentration that my mind can't race through anything else, and I end with something finished to look at and feel accomplished by

The latest Shelved By Genre ep positing Bilbo's taunting songs to the spiders in The Hobbit as Beastie Boys style tracks is killing me. I need to hear that realised.

Once every 6 months a track from this album comes up on shuffle and I end up looping the album for a month straight. An all-timer.

Finished up another Kill Team yesterday, taking my total to three. Despite being in and out of the hobby for 20 years this is the first time I've ever painted an Ultramarine - and probably the last!

Donate to Help Natalie Recover From Medical Costs After Layoff, organized by Natalie Spitzel Hi everyone, For those who don't know me, my name is Nat… Natalie Spitzel needs your support for Help Natalie Recover From Medical Costs After Layoff

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Finished my birthday present just in time to start a new pile of shame at Christmas!

I love these models, but someone really needs to teach me how to drybrush effectively because I'm so bad at it.
