Yes, it was a good evening to stay in and make nabe. I was in the mood for tofu so I got regular and fried tofu puffs, and made a vegetable miso nabe. Good for a snowy night.

Braved the storm for good reasons.
I split it with a guy at my local store whose friend managed to find one after the preorders sold out. He took the Wolf Scouts (I'll be making my own Salamander Scouts) and I got the XV26 Stealth Battlesuits team and the campaign book. FYI @nazarielle.bsky.social

If you use the kanji the modern reading is still five syllables so it would work in that reading.
One romanization has to be wrong, at least partially. The other romanization has it as ineburite and that's the more recent book.
But the -burite is NOT in current readings, it's -murite.

Year end listening stats and it's the two Stardew Valley songs I put on loop during work through the autumn, and then Momma for two more because their new album this year was certainly the best of the year. (I was two years late to the Chris Farren album but also liked that a lot)

The change in the month snuck up on me, but for December 1978 in the retro kitchen we have Detroit! In a peak Malaise Era year.
Someone had plans for potato salad so notable, they pencilled it in on their calendar.

There's also one in Kyoto if you happen to go there. Both are great, but the Omiya/Tokyo one is more hands-on and a bit larger.

Here we see the Vespid in his native habitat, punching straight through Astartes armor with his ingenious neutron weapons.
Can't really be too proud of my win as it was a teaching game with a new player but it was fun and it's always good to see more Kill Team players popping up at the LGS.
