There were so many prophetic things in #mst3k, but I don't think that any were quite as terrifyingly evil and correct as the whole "Jonny Long Torso" component action figure that @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social and @frankconniff.bsky.social did before Monster-a-go-go.

In an #oldschool mood as of late, and been revisiting a lot of old #rpgs from the #nes and #snes era. Looking for more recommendations, especially things from other platforms.
Already have Crystalis installed, along with Secret of Mana, and the standard classics like that.

After watching and starting to read The Apothecary Diaries I have now become obsessed with the history around alchemy, herbalism, and occult history. Things of which I have no belief or use but just find fascinating.
And also may be building a ren faire costume around now...

On the left, the #bloodangels Terminator Captain I wanted when #warhammer40k Leviathan came out. On the right, the Captain I got with the recent terminator force.
I’ll never be a competition painter, but it feels good to compare them and see how I’ve improved over the past couple of years.

I know it’s a #warhammer meme that there are an absurd number of lieutenants… but why aren’t there models or rules for a lieutenant with jump pack or a lieutenant in terminator armor? Do they forget how to use those when promoted?

Adobe cranked up the price of my Photographer sub to 15, so I canceled it. I need to go through and export my stuff before it runs out... but what are the go-to #photoshop alternatives these days?

You know if we replaced the media word “controversy” with “whining” I think we’d get closer to the truth. Like there’s no controversy over Bad Bunny’s halftime show, MAGA types are just whiny racists

My mum dug out some old photographs.
This is the 28mm scale Warhammer 40k Gargant my brother and I made out of paper mache and kitchen refuse circa 1990.
You may not like it, but this is what ork performance looks like.
