Horribly Bad zenithaled Mimic miniature with white paint where it absolutely should not be.

First test of my cheapo Airbrush.
Zenithaled the Mimic. Paint was way too thin, but the brush behaved okay.
But! Nearly impossible to clean, because it's so cheaply build, all the plastic parts are kind of wonky and all the metal parts need violence to […]

One thing that the current exorbitant investments in "AI" show is that the investor class and big tech corporations do not pay enough taxes: If you have billions to set on fire for spicy autocomplete we should take some or all of those to do something useful with.

Addendum:

I know it's a #charity auction, and I know it's a rare model (however many of these were even made, seems many for a thing was officially unreleased), but laying down Β£55 for a single #BloodBowl mini is kind of inexcusable πŸ˜† better tell my wife which the […]

Lovingly painted and decorated kraken stadium pitch donated by JemJar. It may have sold for a mere 150 quid, but the person who bought did leave message that he had lost his grandfather we before and came to the tournament straight from burial, and felt absolutely welcome and taken care of by everyone at the event. The pitch will be used to collect more money for charity in local tournaments.

Anyway, the games played went off uneventfully. And that's great, because uneventful means fair. Lots of people were having a lot of fun, and Thrudball is GOOD at fun. Only one coach didn't enjoy their games and got really salty so […]
