I do this with Atreides from Dune because I read the book first

I experimented a bit with Linux in college but the distro I got (ubuntu I think?) didn't have good compatibility with Steam games so I gave up 😔

I NEED to know which games he plays, so I know if he's a noob

Tristan Edge @tristanedge.bsky.social · 1d

☹️ sorry to hear that, any nice gaming clubs near you? Somewhere to play casual Magic or Warhammer or something? Easy way to make friends!

I feel like that sometimes, do you have folks to talk to IRL, I find that helps

Sd.Kfz. 223 armoured car, for use as a #boltaction tank platoon leader.

The assembly instructions were really confusing so I messed up the radio antenna it's meant to have!

Not my best work, need to take more care doing camo patterns!

Painting a Bolt Action armoured car, using some blue tack as a painting handle for the commander, he looks like some kind of horrific Fallout-esque mad doctor experiment

(yes the pen is superglued into the car as a painting handle)

There's a scene in Brother in the Land where they drop smoke grenades down someone's ventilation shafts lol

"Mediums are allowed"... Does that include metallic medium, or is that cheating 😁

Tristan Edge @tristanedge.bsky.social · 2d

I just bought the box too, will be interesting 😁

Tristan Edge @tristanedge.bsky.social · 2d

Since you're allowed to mix, see what the brown and the fluorescent red look like together, might be an interesting colour for trim 🙂

One time I had trapped wind, got a panic attack and thought I was going to die lol. I called an ambulance but by the time they got to me I was better. Very embarrassing.

Band of Brothers British tankers: "sorry chaps, no unnecessary collateral damage"

Actual British tankers: "we'd take down whole premises, if we saw a window open we'd shoot the bastards"

Reminds me of the mutually exclusive propaganda that comes out of Putin's Russia (there were no drones over Poland vs the drones were there by accident vs they were Ukrainian drones)

Same reason I guess, they don't want to persuade you of their position, they just want you to doubt the truth

Tristan Edge @tristanedge.bsky.social · 7d

I like that vibrant blue colour

Tristan Edge @tristanedge.bsky.social · 7d

Won't be shocked if the heads pack costs almost as much as the box of 20 beakies that gives you 30 or so heads anyway 🤣

What did Bernie's campaign do to extensively alienate Warren and Pete voters?
