Today's WIPS, doing up some 328th Assault Cluster mechs. I've never done decals before, but I might try them for these, because I can't free-hand a Clan Wolf logo.

#Battletech

5 Battletech miniatures painted in a dark green, gold, and tan color scheme from Clan Wolfs 328 Assault Cluster. Included are a Timber Wolf Prime, Dire Wolf Prime, Shadow Cat Prime, Warhawk Prime, and a Timber Wolf T.

for Portlanders marching this Saturday who want the best tactical gear without feeding Amazon, our local party supply house The Lippman Company has plenty of inflatable costumes

Local radio team really can't be beat. I finally appreciate why my friend's dad used to mute the TV and turn on the radio during the 90's runs.

Words are magic, and you'd turn that power over to an irrational machine because it takes work? Well, good luck with that then.

Adult me realizing I can just buy King's Hawaiian Rolls anytime of year was a dangerous moment. Turns out they have a lot of uses though.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

And so we had to invent a new term 'Grand Strategy Game'. Words are dumb. Awesome, but dumb.

When I re-watched the original Transformers cartoons as an adult it was pretty hilarious to see what I had been so emotionally invested in. The movie was an early childhood trauma, but that soundtrack still gets me hyped in a way few things do.
