He needs another ultrasound and an MRI before we can get a surgery date, and we need $210 to get both of those done. Please please help, I'm out of my mind with worry.
Found out this weekend that my dad needs open heart surgery for a life-threatening condition and insurance is only paying for 50%.
I'm trying to raise what I can to help him afford it. If you want to help donations are appreciated.

Finished my five man Necron Immortal squad. Did not enjoy assembling these things, contact points were weak and thin, legs just sit in a bowl in the bottom of the chest. I never want to do these again (I have another box of them).

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

The Frieran angle thing is so great because *every* artist knows that angle is tough. They've all been through it, learning the hard way how to do it.
To a non-artist it doesn't seem like a hard problem. A non-artist who only wants to be seen as an artist, will use genAI instead of learning it.

if you replace voice actors with AI, we’ll have less lesbians, which is a crime against humanity
Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

Why the Fuck are we saying literally ANYTHING positive about Sarah McBride on fucking Trans Day of Remembrance? She's literally been trying to sell us all out from day one from the fucking bathroom bullshit to blaming trans activists for transphobia
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

McBride tried several times to be a "sensible moderate" by calling trans rights a distraction and in the Klein interview, blaming trans advocacy for the anti-trans panic, instead of the utter capture of the media.
She didn't have to do that, and she hasn't really walked back her support for Israel.

I present Imotekh the Stormlord. Mostly easy to paint (relatively), but a few fiddly bits, like the regal shendyt at the front and the shoulder pauldrons, really sucked to attach/paint. I'm really proud of this one, i think it's my best looking paint job so far. His cape is really fucking kool.
