I want to get better colour matches for my 3D print projects, but don't really want to buy 1kg spools, especially with the risk of the colour not being right. Any suggestions for sourcing small amounts? I looked at short lengths for 3D pens but the colour offerings I found were a bit underwhelming.

Usage stats and the finalist cut teams from today's #PokemonVGC tournament at Good Games Adelaide. Recorded footage will be on YouTube soon. #PlayPokemon

"We Live In A Dump" and "I'm Your Boyfriend Now" are a couple of my favourites and those ones alone make the cost of admission (wait, there's no cost!) worth it!

Thought about buying Zooper Doopers, but refrained because no one in our house will want to eat the Cola ones. I had a brief moment of hope that the different flavour pack would provide a workable option but… nope, it was a pure Cola pack.

I really owe a ton of success this year to the community and especially to my friend @havraart.bsky.social for keeping me equal parts grounded and fanciful in my dreaming. Here's to another bright year ahead! 🧵 4/4

My interests continue to centralise on Pokémon; this doesn't even touch on the stuff I've been doing with VGC overlays 🧵 3/4

My watercolours were more weighted to the start of the year - I need to make more time for them! 🧵 2/4

I made a big ol' summary of what I've been up to in 2025! It was designed originally as an insta carousel but I'll share them here too because I'm super proud looking back on all this stuff! 🧵 1/4

I love Corbeau and all but I feel like the ZA DLC is a tad long for me. It’s holidays but it’s also silly season; I’ve had time to play but I’ve been falling asleep multiple nights this week while playing and I’m not done yet. I guess they felt like they had to pad it out to justify the price tag?

hey everyone, i'm finally getting top surgery! Please, i know things are hard right now for everyone, but if there's anything you can spare, or if you could share my gofundme, it would mean the world to me 💖 gofund.me/b007236e2

Top four teams at Adelaide's last Reg H #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC event!

My pin manufacturer reached out right while I was trying to decide on what materials to use for the final draft. Today I realised maybe I could use cast metal for the anchor... I'm a bit torn about how I want to proceed. Any thoughts?

Melbourne coasters have arrived!

We had leftover dumpling wrappers and a no-bake cheesecake. So I added some egg to the cheesecake and made cheesecake potstickers.

There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t think about remaking The Games (1998, 2000) except set in the world of video games and esports.

Our @paxaus.bsky.social speedrunning gameshow panel is now up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qqw... Huge thanks to Aggy for recording and to everyone involved in making the panel happen.

Home, feeling simultaneously energised and exhausted by a weekend at PAX, and surviving a brief bout of food poisoning. (Yes it happened; hubris was my downfall. Please know I am now filled with an obnoxiousness that comes only from having cheated death and have learned nothing from the experience)

In light of yesterday's evacuation at @paxaus.bsky.social I declare this image once again relevant. #paxaus2025

The moment we first learned of the evacuation at @paxaus.bsky.social yesterday - mid panel! #paxaus #pax2025

Thank you everyone for coming to our panel, we had an absolute blast!

TODAY!!!

"Neutral" is the ne plus ultra of anagrams.

THIS WEEKEND at @paxaus.bsky.social: we're excited to be hosting a speedrunning themed gameshow panel! @alecat.bsky.social is a solo Untitled Goose Game speedrunner looking for a buddy to take on the co-op leaderboard with. Problem is, her usual partner @nicosar.bsky.social isn't a good fit! (1/3)

Watching the Link Click live action makes it painfully obvious how much the animators *choose* to deliberately bait the audience with ShiGuang.

Pigeon update: They stopped using the nest for the week after I posted this and I got worried they were abandoning it, but then they settled back in and there’d been one on near permanent nest duty for the last fortnight.

Dreamt that I was playing Splatoon for the first time in forever, but that somehow I had good *awareness* and was capable of not just running into every engagement. Dreams truly are fantasy lands.

I think I haven't been noticing my solder paste getting gradually drier, which has given me a few problems of late.

Squareword 1336 spoilers (yeah I'm like a month behind) I always use the same starting word for this one and I was excited at line one but nearly catatonic with excitement at line 5 appearing. Now to find out how close to greatness I really am.......!!!!

I'll be at @adelaideartcade.bsky.social this weekend! Hope to see you there!

I have managed to slice open two of my fingers in separate incidents over consecutive days. At this rate I'll have incapacitated all of the digits on my left hand by the weekend.

when cloud services hound me to pay for the 50th time

Finished a private test run of our dating-gameshow-speedrunning panel for @paxaus.bsky.social and feeling relieved that it all worked, albeit with a LOT of chaos. But the chaos will be part of the fun! Come see us on PAX Saturday! We're currently scheduled for 3pm in the Kookaburra theatre!

A pair of spotted doves have built their nest directly by our dining room window. They were very well camouflaged and I didn’t notice them until Nico pointed them out to me. I’m now a delighted birdwatcher and cannot understand why my cat’s attention isn’t permanently taken by this new development.

Weird.

AAAAAA OUR PAX PANEL GOT ACCEPTED, HELP, WHAT HAVE I SIGNED US UP FOR [More details to come but for now I'm going to keep yelling, AAAAAAA]

Built my first Jarne Blade yesterday, this thing is ridiculously thin - half the thickness of my laptop. It feels like holding a wafer! Will look to make these available on the store in a few weeks’ time. Thanks as always to big bro Jeff for designing another amazing piece of kit.

Just confirmed the times, we are scheduled to start at 12:50pm ACST - so sit tight if you’ve tuned in early!

ITS THE WEEKEND! YAAAAAASSSSS! Time for some ripper runs to keep the party going. Featuring: ItsCorpsey @alecat.bsky.social & Nicosar Baphy Olii

Nico's about to go live with Mankind Divided!
