Couldn’t get to Adepticon this year? Here is the next best thing: a walk through of the vendor hall. youtu.be/STq9WVjOOvs?... (First of three)

The Compleat Strategist game store in King of Prussia is closing its doors after 40+ years in business. Today was the first day of their going out of business sale. The line to get in was longer than this but us still plenty long when I got out.

My new project is to paint my Battletech Alpha Strike miniatures.

I just finished my second army, the Brood, for the miniatures sci fi game Trilaterum.

I’m taking another quick break from painting miniatures to try out some terrain test pieces. I’m still trying to figure out how to apply the ATK snow acrylic textures correctly.

Dammit! Daylight savings time snuck up on me again. And not the good daylight savings time but the bad daylight savings time.

Just finished some more Brood army miniatures for Trilaterum.

I just finished first half of my miniatures for my Brood army in Trilaterum.

Played my first game of Five Parsecs From Home today. A very fun solo/cooperative miniatures game.

Taking a break from painting armies to paint some miniature terrain for a little bit.

I finished painting my Void Rangers miniatures for Trilaterum.

Had a Craft Day today where painted our army miniatures for Trilaterum and worked on some Gunpla.

I have been going through the playlists on MTV Rewind. One fun discovery: “What the heck is Donald Sutherland doing in a Kate Bush music video?”

I attended PAGE 2026 and here are some random photos. An excellent new con in the Philly area.

More Robot Legions miniatures from One Page Rules.

I watched the video.

I just finished painting some Robot Legions from One Page Rules.

Switching gears with miniatures and doing these furniture set pieces. I’m also trying out some of the verdigris paint effects.

I mounted the little cardboard trees from Battletech Alpha Strike to hex bases. I also did a little bit of flocking as well.

Still speeding my way through the Reaper Bones miniatures.

Another miniature finished!

Working through my pile of shame. This time choosing stuff from the old Reaper miniatures that I would not normally paint.

Oh, SNAP! Here we go! youtube.com/shorts/nWFns...

I finished slap chop painting these 10 Nova Corp minis from the first Reaper Bones kickstarter. I did them up as stormtroopers with a generic Captain Phasma knockoff leading them.

I totally missed that Cory Doctorow was on the Daily Show earlier this week and was interviewed by Ronnie Chieng. youtu.be/d2e-c9SF5nE?...

youtu.be/w1aq-XYRjns?... The vastly underrated Xabungle needs a reboot animated just like this!

I’m gonna try some slap chop methods on these storm trooper looking miniatures. This is the first prototype. They look a bit better without the harsh light I have shining on it here.

I’ve been inspired by @wizardru.bsky.social to try some new miniature painting techniques. Starting with some of the old first round of Reaper miniatures from back in 2013.

I just finished what I thought was my re-watch of "Visions of Escaflowne" after 25+ years and I came to the realization that I never watched the end of it. I always thought it was an unfinished show that ended abruptly at Episode 24. I am glad I was mistaken.

Here’s some gaming terrain I was working before PAX this past weekend. Just finished it up today.

I got to play Battletech Aces, the campaign solo/coop play expansion for Alpha Strike. Heck of a lot of fun.

PAX Unplugged: day one.

The Zaaaa-biiiis!

First episode of Pluribus. Ok, Vince, you got me hooked.

I’ve been inspired by some of my friends going through their old collections of miniatures and finally trying to put a dent in their pile of shame. This is some of the old Chainmail collection from back in the day.

Just finished Mission 4 using a very brutal interpretation of the Diceroller Solo/Coop rules. The mission should actually be called “100 Meter Dash“.  

I finished two more big red stompy boy miniatures for Space Hulk.

Painting miniatures for my friend’s game of GKR Heavy Hitters that he will be running at PAGE 2026.

The John Oliver animated Multiverse just keeps getting better and better.

Jazz Emu solves the male loneliness crisis! youtu.be/vhwXLodMum4?...

Loving the first episode of Task with Mark Ruffalo. Plenty of south east Pennsylvania/Montgomery county/Delaware County references throughout. 

I am painting up some miniatures for GKR: Heavy Hitters for @wizardru.bsky.social to use for the game he will be running at an upcoming convention.

This is me playing a typical game of Stellaris.

The phone screen protector took the hit on the corner. We thank you for your service. RIP.

Finishing up some more Gene Stealers before embarking on a side project.

Rewatching old King of the Hill episodes. How does it age? Well, in rapid succession, they made a joke about Texas gerrymandering, a dry county, and Roy Cohn being a murderous bastard. Hat Trick!

The man… the Myth… THE LEGEND!!! Kinta Sakata has arrived! youtu.be/9uCGO5Iy8a4?...

Good Lord, even more gene stealers being painted! At this rate, I may even finish up all my Space Hulk miniatures by the end of the year.

I am still slowly painting my way through all the space marine miniatures for Space Hulk.
