A home for all my geeky stuff: Wargames, board games, occasional computer games...anything geeky. As FB becomes less habitable, I will probably port over less geeky, but still uninteresting things, like my latest parkrun experience.
FYI, I just died on the tutorial of Cyberpunk 2077 bsky.app/profile/foxe...

#Parkrun. Did Milton as they needed setup folks. Ankle hurt all the way round and was difficult again...but I did 25.55 for the second week in a row at the same place so got the groundhog award. No run next week, and hopefully start going to the gym the week after to get my fitness back.
Ebay's combine postage thing is BS. It has a 'select all' button that deletes winning lots. So it charges way less than it should. No way around it and folks are waiting for an invoice that is NOT going to be for 1 item of £5 and not the other £68 one! Folks gonna have to pay too much I guess.
Fine, I've bought into the #CyberpunkTCG I may as well learn about the characters. Downloading #Cyberpunk2077 for the #PS5. Not the DLC though, this is a very different game for me so I might not like it. I'll rewatch edgerunners later.
Another Milton #Parkrun, volunteered with setting up. Really didn't want to run today and felt like I had no energy. I put it down to a mid-week 5k. 25.55 is Slow, but I have to be there to not cause more harm.
My yearly ritual of putting the car for a service, running home and having a quarter of a second panic of wondering where the car is.
Smoked Brie, Swiss Gruyere and black cheese that has a lemon tang with foccacia. All from the market on Parker's Piece today.
Just sold a GW model for £30 more than I paid for it 15 years ago. Talk about the God of Excess being pleased.
#Cyberpunk #TCG day 2 beta day. Peterborough, lovely folks and place. Different format, 1 gamex5. Lost first 2, won next 2, hand jam loss on final. No good cards this time, so I gave them all to folks who had not bought many. This meant when I bought a booster it was an iconic rare. Nice begets nice
#Cyberpunk #TCG beta today. Everyone was lovely. The game is simple to pick up and very fun. In 6 boosters I managed to pick up a 2nd #Iconic #Secret #PanamPalmer ...good haul:
#Cyberpunk #TCG beta games day today. Basically 6 boosters, make a 30 card deck, FIGHT! Good way to meet folks as this is a brand new game (not released yet), nice to be in on the ground floor. Hopefully find some folks in Cambridge.
Sentinel on the Spectrum 48K. Move around a map by making copies. Needs energy so eat other things. Get higher than the Sentinel so you can eat him. Don't get eaten. I managed 1 level after a 35 min load time.
ROU Grim@callingallrx.bsky.social · last mo.Pretty sure I never got past the first 10 screens. Must have spent days playing it nonetheless.
It should be illegal to supply a quote without VAT being added. £11k went up to £15k with a smile. Plus they put a pole through my ceiling.

#Cyberpunk #TCG arrived yesterday. Good artwork, very good card (feels like plastic). Distribution of rares in the boosters is iffy (I have 6 or 7 of 1 a none of others). Simple game and hopefully fun, we shall see next week at a beta event. Now to pull that iconic rare card going for £800 on ebay!
Just watched Tenet...never been so unsure about a film in my life. Wasn't bad, but... Will need a rewatch.
#Parkrun. Back to Milton as they needed volunteers. The run was hard though. Slow and painful. Might still be under the weather from a cold and damaged from Italy. 25.19. Guessing my achilies will take the rest of the year to fully heal now.
