Part of me is starting to understand the basics of modelling in 3D for the intended medium. You don't need to cram every detail in that will never be seen anyway.

YMMV, but big Twinkies (from Egypt) for 29p at Farmfoods in the UK just now. I mean, Twinkies are hideous, but sometimes you need a bit of hideousness in your life. And early onset diabetes, probably.

Can't wait to get home and do the boring bit of designing my Sentinel Close combat weapons. As in the actual arms. Designing narsty weapons is easy. But designing robotic style arms to facilitate their attachment... Eurgh.

It’s all kicking off in Richmond.

When you uncover the other SEVEN sentinels you still haven't painted after twenty odd years. I need to print some lost bits, and maybe some suitably spiky chaos close combat things and finally get these finished. And then someone can come fight them with a snakebite gretchin army.

Watched first episode of Spider Noir. Unsure if there's more of a review expected, but, yeah, it's very much a product. Not feeling it really. Like, clearly very much not a passion project for anyone involved.

Since my brief sodjourn in the US many years ago, I haven't often had the desire to return. But sometimes events overtake other events. It's like I chose the lineup personally. Just LOOKIT day 3!

Am currently in an air conditioned place. It is the first time today I have not had a moist sheen. Is nice. Thinking of going on summer holiday to Svalbard.

Look, I found the old telly, and decided to see how up to the task of dual monitor my current pc is. Can confirm am able to comfortably watch Alien and play Fallout without a sweat. Won't keep it just now, mainly because it's an old first gen HD TV and gives off Hella heat (and in£fficient)

Last year, I got gifted a spool of cool but relatively useless to me Rainbow style filament. I have, as yet, been unable to think of a use for it. Its no good for minis or terrain cos it'll not print smoothly, so biggish projects only.

On one hand, FFS Peter Murrell for dipping your hands in the till. On the other, FFS Peter Murrell, what a waste of doing a fraud. £400,000? And not a moat, swimming pool or castle to show for it. Cmon, make it worth your while. A camper van and some other fairly pedestrian bullshit. Lame.

Left the house with a hoodie on over my t-shirt. This was ill advised because I'm now gonna have to carry a hoodie everywhere as I contemplate the future of my t-shirt. For it is almost taps aff weather.

What gives me body image issues may be a humblebrag to some. I have a ludicrously expansive manly chest and build. Think Arnie in his prime*. I've always seen myself as a bit more of a French Duke. Makes me uncomfortable having this general chad-dy air being thrust upon the world unwillingly.

It's overcast but muggy. Still coasting under 20°C. Is this thunderstorm weather? Fingers crossed. (Deleted because I suspected the previous chosen GIF was AI slop once I saw the full thing posted)

Decided to really stretch my chef skills tonight by calling in a nice curry. Be amazed by my culinary expertise. (TBF, at two days before payday it's a pretty big humblebrag)

New management type sticking their oar in at work, and I cringe whenever they suggest someone should "stick it in ChatGPT or Copilot". I can't wait for the stand off when they all me, and I decline, and then inevitably go on a tirade about how anyone that uses AI is a brainless slopweasel.

Fuck me if we're not coming to a head of enshittification. Can someone try the old "customer forward" business tactic for a change? You know? Make a decent product people actually want, sell it for a modicum of profit then support and guarantee the product for a reasonable timeframe?

It'd be very interesting to see every model that Fender has decided (after 72 years) is now infringing on their Stratocaster body. (In the EU only) Like, just the clear "cover the headstock and it could be a Fender" ones, or like anything with a slight offset double cutaway. Like, an SG?

I know it's of little consequence, but most folk in "the north" think Macclesfield is pretty soft and southern. If I'm spending 6-8 hours going to London, I'm not trying for a connection in Birmingham as well. Manchester or Leeds woulda made sense. Sorry, Birmingham.

Kinda funky seeing Bothwell St being the main set as an action scene in Spidey. There's so many films been made in Glasgow over the years, but to use the main drag as you come off the motorway is certainly a choice.

I feel this could be art.

The beginning of Toxygene by The Orb always makes me smile. I believe it's Kenneth Williams with the Marrow Song. Ooh err.

Ramson/Wild garlic fills the woodlands with the unmistakable aroma of someone urinating on some garlic. Garlic piss, no matter how locally sourced, is not a flavour profile I'm after, thanks.

A political party shouldn't just constantly ask for the leader to resign because of a bad election result. They should be judged on their overall actions and effectiveness since being in office. Uhm, yeah. This probably won't come as much comfort to Keir Starmer TBH.

Still early in the counts, but a pretty encouraging result so far. Hearing the Greens may have wrestled an Edinburgh seat from SNP, so that'd be cool. Likely a couple of Reform on the list votes, but it can't all be roses.

Not slept in for a while. Usually up before my alarm at half five, but drowsily awoke at ten past six. Gurgh. Is this...hantavirus? 😉

Just in case you haven't been yet, the South Scotland list vote has loads of candidates - and a right wing bunch have tried to game it by appearing similar to the Scottish Green Party. As the Greens look set for a favourable vote on the list, good to let everyone know to avoid these shenanigans.

Only arseholes and idiots vote Reform. They've shown us all who they are. There are no excuses.

Fellow Scots - part of me still holds a grudge after you smegged it up a decade ago. And that part kinda wants you to live through a bunch of time where Tories/Reform are in charge. To hurt you, and learn your bloody lesson. But I'm not a total cant. Don't vote for them tadgers the morra, eh?

For some reason my normally pretty sweet random music playlist has been throwing up some real stinkers today. Like, totally dull acoustic album tracks, trite remixes, bad live versions and stuff. The algorithm is broken.

Anyone know anyone called Sheena? And are they, in fact, a punk rocker now?

I tried to keep it PG-13.

Wasn't planning to have a nice lunchtime beer in the garden, but after some brisk morning mowing and pruning, and the sun finally making and effort, it'd be rude not to crack open a Spider Monkey IPA. Might also get rid of some of my gothy winter skin with a touch of seasonal "Lobster Bisque".

I was today years old when I discovered what Trypophobia felt like. I mean, this thing is fucking horrific.

One of these days I'm gonna order a single AND a double Espresso and measure the volumes. I sometimes feel there's not double the amount of liquid, and they've pulled a double Ristretto instead.

I know Spotify sucks (as do all streaming services in general) but I feel somewhat down that Headfactory had ONE single listener in April. It wasn't me, so, like thanks for that, but if that one person could totally tell up to ONE friend to also do that, at least May might feel like growth.

First morning all year I've been confident enough not to bring my jacket. 🌞 Like, I'm going to work all day and purely assuming that I won't need it in 9 hours time. And some folk think I can't think positively.

What'd be quite a funny move with AI is Hollywood proclaiming it's been used for the last 10 years for major blockbuster flicks. And everyone would be like "Yup, that tracks" Then "Are you sure it's not been twenty years?"

Had to decant my storage area for reasons, and, boy, do I still have a lot of pretty cool boxes with various things in. Only a small excerpt, but it's also not all "pile of shame".

In celebration of the ROGUE TROOPER PREMIER being announced at the magnificent ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL & MARKET this June, (that was a mouthful,) clamp your sensors on these POSTERS from Paolo Rivera and Chris Weston respectively-

But does it have a joby weecher? Asking for a friend.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty down about my small business. I’m working so hard but it’s been very quiet. It’s bloody difficult at the moment. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

I'm not a huge Star Wars guy, but there's some good lessons to be had.

Glasgow tomorrow. FML.

I like a bit of tailoring, but it's hit 20°C today and wonder how olde tymie peeps who wore a three piece and a coat everyday managed AT ALL in sunnier weather. Except constantly sweat into every inch of their woolen fabrics. I'm just wearing a shirt and light cotton trousers, and am melting.

"There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets." Still unsure if HalfManHalfBiscuit intended to write the true UK national anthem.

Anyone want a chippy tea? Yeah... End of the month, so best make it from the "budget" end of the menu. That means no fucking fish suppers, ye hear me?

I think I've reached peak models. What's the market like for fully painted 40k armies in the 10k-20k point region?

Obviously I won't be playing Johnny Alpha myself. He'll probably be best as a Yank. Middenface McNulty though? Sure, why not?

I'm gonna do some actual spring cleaning and other general quality of life housework this weekend. You just watch me! But not the garden, cos it be raining all up in the place.
