My realisation from Golden Demon is similar to my take on virtuoso guitarists - exceptionally performed, amazing craftwork, eye-watering skill, true dedication, and maybe only 1 piece in 10 that I will ever remember fondly.

I feel like far too much of my life is spent trying to find the best colour matches to my remaining Goblin Green and Ultramarines Blue I bought in 1997 #oldhammer

Finally finished up the first portion of the Space Wolves, 1000pts fully playable for 2e 40k. I also painted up and based some terrain by @doctorspork.bsky.social which came out wonderfully vintage. Still working on my photography though #spacewolves #warhammer40k #oldhammer #miniaturewargaming

The depression is still very much there, but at least pushing myself to do some painting on the weekend has me amped to finish the work in my current queue, so that's something...

People equivocating generative AI with all "AI tools" is a fucking problem that people aren't considering enough. Many things that were never called AI are now under that moniker, and by not knowing the difference means that things that are fine are being used to defend shit that is not.

I think my theme for armies that I want to collect in Flames of War basically boils down to "who is doing the weird shit?". It started with 21st Panzer and now I'm looking at either Daimler motor car companies for Brits or Italian light tank swarms with a bunch of trucks.

I need to start being more dedicated to daily hobby undertakings that aren't window shopping (sometimes sans window) and list building. Even one colour applied to a character is better than bloody nothing. Now if only work could be less of a battery drain that'd be sick.

Sunday hobby time was a build, drill, paint for a new guitar pedal, complete with a little orky skull face.

Holy shit the spin on the Nobel Peace Prize was real. Talk about an award that means less than dirt.

It's been a very long time since I've gone out on a Friday afternoon to buy liquor for the evening, and even longer since work has got me to the point that I feel like I need the alcohol, but here we are, allergies and all. Thank Tzeentch it's Friday...

Oh yeah, I just fucking love the rise of allergy season every October/November. Not breathing is my favourite thing in the world. And it's getting hot as well so I get to luxuriate in sweat all night too? That's the perfect sleeping conditions! Man, so happy right now.

The true beauty of (most) miniature wargames is that miniatures can be anything, the age of the rulebook doesn't matter, and so long as you have a beverage and some snacks with a good mate you're gonna have a hell of a good time.

Fuck Winston Peters, the hypocritical filth-peddlar. Zero convictions, zero ethics, zero morals, and they keep giving him parliamentary power.

Oh darn, what a shame, I needed a TM011 audio transformer for a pedal build but it's a $6 part with a $26 shipping cost so I had to buy a bunch of ICs for some other pedals as well to make it worth the cost, oh darn, more pedal builds, what a shame, so sad.

Oh boy, going to assemble some armour I printed a few weeks ago and finding uncured resin leaking out is a wee bit panic inducing. I stupidly put a resin trap in the model, because I am in fact a dumb dumb.

Sunday night hobby,getting very old school. Can I just say that the AMMO Premium Kolisnky size 1 brush is a real bloody gem? Good length, very fine, has been a real workhorse with all these vintage highlights and banners. #oldhammer #warhammer40k #spacewolves #miniaturepainting

As much as I despise the prick, Wayne Brown at least has the right idea when he told the so-called Taxpayers Union to fuck off.

Nothing like a jury duty summons to get me browsing for a new eReader and a power bank. Oh, and I guess I'll have to save up some fucking rent and bill money since not getting paid for a week or two in a single income household is just the pits.

I really want to support a ton of musical artists, but the shipping cost of merch to New Zealand is so damn offensive. Paying 50% or more on a couple of t-shirts that are already very expensive due to exchange rates makes the process a little heartbreaking.

Nothing inspires confidence in a third party tech provider more than having to email a zip file of assets so you can test development against their UAT servers because their file upload service throws security issues with their infosec provider. CSS is dangerous yo, them digital crayons toxic.

With new Assault Terminators on the way, it seems an appropriate time to finish up my Terminators for my 3rd edition Salamanders army. And now I'm off to shoot mechs in Mechwarrior 5 for the evening #warhammer40k #vulkanlives #middlehammer
