Hello there, new folks! I'm Caelyn, I'm a queer, disabled writer from the UK who covers wargames and miniatures at @rascalnews.bsky.social. I like videogames, RPGs, Transformers and other assorted nerd stuff.

If you only see all the space marines, you might not realise that GW has been really good on increasing diversity in its miniatures, which is why this reveal is such a disappointment.

I give up.

It's weird that Dress Up Darling does the same thing. Going back to S1 after watching S2 gave me whiplash. I've been trying to think of other series' that do the same thing.

The age of adult characters in manga and anime is beyond ridiculous. Thirty is not old. Forty is not old. It's laughable whole series revolves around the protagonist being an experienced old man type and he's in his twenties.

I have this half formed theory that so many men write homoerotic friendships because the only truly intimate relationships they know are romantic ones.

There's a really good piece out there about how everything is sexualised, but nothing is sexy and it's absolutely spot on.

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.

Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

There needs to be an internationally agreed upon labelling system for spicy food. I'm a moderate spice enjoyer, which causes issues when I forget to adjust my expectations based on the supermarket I'm shopping in.

Caelyn @caelyn.bsky.social · 4h

Oh no, I'm not suggesting that it is, but that's my reaction to what you asked, and how I've heard it used.

Caelyn @caelyn.bsky.social · 4h

That gives me seriously sketchy transmed vibes. Which I say as someone who really doesn't mind transexual as a term.

Honestly, the real time reaction of people on my regular Discord server going from the initial impression to realising they were all dudes was almost heartbreaking.

Caelyn @caelyn.bsky.social · 5h

TFW you're trying to find an anime series that isn't on any streaming services and it's over a year old, but no-one has compliled them so you have to download individual episodes like some kind of medieval peasant.

Pretty sure they don't have visible chests, which is a large part of why this sucks. They're fully clothed, just give us some different heads!

And aperol isn't made in Scotland from girders, presumably

Caelyn @caelyn.bsky.social · 7h

I want to try an aperol spritz now and compare.

If I commission art from you and your prices are too low, I will tip you heavily and yell (nicely) at you to bump your prices.

Sometimes, when I get to the end of an impressions/review piece, I worry that I sound like a shill because I struggle to find anything negative to say about a thing. This is one of those times. Hats off to @atomicmassgames.bsky.social

Almost a year ago, @caelyn.bsky.social pontificated about starter sets on Rascal for the first time. Now she's at it again!

I think I almost became the joker when that one museum in seattle said Kurt Cobain "unalived" himself.

My partner is the Pokémon player in the house and they're really enjoying it. I have been eyeing Time Stranger as the new show has got Digimon on my brain.
