Have other wargamers on here basically made peace with the fact that your expired plastic is just shelf weight? Maybe an art project?

The confirmed death of Age of Sigmar (by 2030-2031, but still!) is kind of fucking with me. Always kept it in the backburner. Just collected for Warcry. But now I was gonna play Spearhead, and I'd gotten some stuff ready for that. Which, fine, a light way to play for 5 years. But the clear exp date!

My bass is actually very good. Maybe I'll keep playing with different folks?

Some discords are the warmest places on earth, and others are just emotionally stunted.

Should've stayed home but I'm stuck serving a purpose kind of dilemma.

Also, social anxiety dissipated, might take Brood Brothers to next Kill Team night.

Finally the smell of Bradford pear made it to my nose.

Deeply dreading all the work on the school garden I'm gonna do this morning.

Gonna try King of the Colosseum 40k with a friend. If it goes off, I may never aspire to play a bigger format of wargame ever again. At least not from the present mindset.

We never needed CGI or AI. But getting over film movie cameras was/is absolutely necessary.

I love that it's totally mustard's thing not to obey gravity and to spit on your hotdog, but I wish it tried something different, like, once in a while.

This is just to remind myself that I don't need to argue with the Warcry bigheads. This is mainly because I come bearing an irreducible kernel of truth about why Warcry is done that they will never accept. Nor am I a sufficiently advanced or active player to be trusted to deliver it. Which is fine.

Today I am unfollowing and blocking ProPublica in support of the strike.

Fantasizing a little bit about building my own terrain sets? I've been collecting a bunch of materials. Cardboard, styrofoam, sprue pieces. Popsicle sticks and coffee stirrers should be no problem to find. Trying to imagine where I'd get sturdy boards cut to 3'x3' squares or 2'-diameter circles.

(Sicko voice) Yes! YES!

world war 3 is already here - it's just not evenly distributed

No such thing as an unnecessary fart joke.

Social anxiety, though. Boy I tell you.

Gon' try to make sure 'n fit some gaming in this week. Quality does not matter. Just some basic flow chasin'.

The child is not super adventurous, which isn't to say that they're not interested or motivated.

Happy 12:34 to all who observe.

I don't like to yuck other people's (admittedly very disgusting) yum.

More thoughts on Jewish troops in Trench Crusade: The only way to do it is as a secular coalition of partisans. Sure, a rare nonviolent rabbi with a very violent golem, for all you nerds. But the rest of the military force is plain old technology, tactics, pragmatism, and cruelty. It can be done.

(Jane Lynch voice) I am going to have such a matza with peanut butter.

Good old GSC, the only way I understand 40k, even just halfway.

I must be healing because a small part of my heart seems to be thawed and letting in friends, and my brain seems to be like, "Fucking fine, don't say I didn't warn you!" Which is a great improvement.

OK, making a skirmish wargaming roadmap for myself, because I'm good at nothing like I'm good at aching self-denial: Spearhead for summer, Trench Crusade for fall or later. But just for the purposes of self-flagellation: If I were to start Trench Crusade today, it would be with New Antioch.

they want to impose sriracha law

i put together a bunch of the photos of dive bar bathrooms i’ve taken over the years and compiled them into a FREE digital zine. check it out if you are a little freak like me who loves grimy spaces marked by the passage of countless human dramas merrittk.itch.io/dive-bar-bat...

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

Once again, April has returned. youtu.be/iRzJoib_nGM?...

Would I prefer that there were Jews in Trench Crusade? Sure. Do I also understand that there are no wargame designers in the world who would succeed at this task without veering into blatant antisemitism? Also yes.

Hey @waltimedes.bsky.social and @deaconblues1979.bsky.social you guys are mysticism-aware (or more). Wanna try this What Kind of Mystic Are You personality test? mystic.millermanschool.com

April fools! It's actually March 31st!

Meeting family friends under 35 and struck by that utter lack of damage/depression that only young people can have. (Not all young people, sure [derisive snort]) As if one can just, like, live life. La la la, I'm walking down the road, events are happening, life choices are taking place, no worries.

What Kind of Mystic Are You? My first place: The Phenomenological Mystic Thinking as devotion. Dwelling in the clearing of Being. My second place: Zen. Sufi was a distant third. And everything else was far, far behind. mystic.millermanschool.com

trans rights is a "wedge" issue in the sense that if you have an issue with trans rights I will "wedge" you into a crevasse in a mountain and leave you there

April fools! It's actually March 31st!

Dear cis people: This Trans Day of Visibility, skip the feel-good skeet — allyship is more than platitudes, it’s action. Here are 5 real things you can do this #TDOV that are better for trans people than your black-square activism:

Dear transgender mafia, please kitkatnap all of us from the evil surface world.

Releasing more and bigger plastic figures that I can't visually parse, let alone imagine building, priming, and painting is ... not really a way to keep me in the hobby.

Nope, I was wrong. Written testimony due by 6pm tonight! Please submit written testimony!

Baltimore folks: SB554 to drasticly upend school board appointments will be heard on T, 4/1 before Ways and Means. Testimony is sponsor only. But you can still (1) call or email the chair (Wilkins) and (2) call the City Delegation which heard the bill F. www.baltimorecitydelegation.com/members

Just composing and discarding various skeets.

Omg I so dgaf about cogforts.

Yeah, I didn't really read the gloss about it, if there even was any, but the upcoming new season box for spearhead seems to make it into a somewhat different game.

How absolutely repulsive, being alive. Let me tell you.
