Basically walked through Mordheim today at Orlando Epic's Dark Universe park. A little gothic village named Darkmoor. Makes me want to make some terrain!

It was fun! Optimizing actions to complete missions for points. Lots of winking and nodding for those aware of Star Trek lore. It was a very close game at the end.
Ravendas@ravendas.bsky.social · 6d agoGot a boardgame setup on the table for tonight! It's called ~~Star Trek~~ er Starship Captains where you fly around in suspiciously saucer like crafts with officers wearing red, yellow and blue to take actions and do missions. Never played it before, thought I'd try it out!
My wife planted some "summer squash" seeds from a Vietnamese market, which I'm pretty sure are actually Opo squash, and they're growing like crazy. This thing is about 2' long and still growing.

I printed off all of the Hexengarde "The Narrows" kickstarter items awhile ago. Spray primed some, started painting some, but ennui hit when our Frostgrave game turned out to not be happening. I think they look cool on the shelf over my desk at least. One day I'll paint them up!
Ravendas@ravendas.bsky.social · last wk.Slowly coming to terms that my hobby is preparing for the possibility of games that will most likely never occur. (I have models and/or terrain for Mordheim, Necromunda, Warcry, AoS, Frostgrave, Middle Earth: SBG, Marvel: Crisis Protocol...) Currently printing some Necromunda stuff that looks neat
Haven't painted any minis in a month, after slamming through 20 CoS foot soldiers, 10 gunners and these two. Fell off the wagon! Hope I get back on again soon, I have fun while doing it but it's so hard to start, mentally.
Ravendas@ravendas.bsky.social · 2mo agoFinished my first two CoS Cavaliers in Lethis-y colors! The Future is still drying so I can't do the decals yet. My first mounted minis 😎

My wife made some cinnamon bread that is fancy enough I had to take a picture of it.
Hmm no Steam Frame announcement today then? Still waiting for this.
I love that my library has a running tally of savings as you check out items. This was my count back in May of this year. We go twice a month and check out 15ish books each time, as well as Switch and board games to try out. They have a lot more than just books now!

This has been on my slop list for months since someone brought it to my attention last time. bsky.app/profile/rave... Nearly at 9,500 accounts now, all checked to determine their main purpose is posting (or advertising or defending) slop!
Aluino #ProtectJho@aluino.selfhosted.social · last wk.Everyone should block this account. @curation-lab.bsky.social It is an ai that replies and quotes all art by artists, giving unwanted criticism, and scanning their art.
Fixed my printer, for real! Cleaned off all of the grease and reapplied some Super Lube. Opened up the extruder box, which was full of plastic dust, and upgraded the gears. Swapped the hotend for a new legit one from Elegoo. Printed a bed leveling tool and got the bed closer to level than ever.
I was just mowing my lawn in my Quake2 hat last night :cool: Kinda want the hoody!

An expansion for the original Quake??? Not something I expected in 2026! Quake is only 3.99 right now, it's a classic I think everyone should own honestly.
Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 2w agofree episode - Quake “Dawn of the Machine” announced and out now store.steampowered.com/app/2310/Qua... livestream at 11:30AM PT www.youtube.com/live/AjrLz30...
We're starting to plan our yearly lan party (6-8 people involved), trying to find some good games that work for that count. It'd also be great if they worked on Steam Deck (or cube, or frame??) because some of us just don't want to haul our whole computer out and the deck is fine enough for a lot.
Ordered a new hotend (arrives today) and some recommended lube and a replacement for the gears that I'm pretty sure I've ground down in spots. I wiped the grease off last night (is it supposed to be black?) and reapplied a hefty amount. I'm going to swap the gears and hotend later. Hope it works!
Ravendas@ravendas.bsky.social · 2w agoI need a local service where I give them one hundred dollars and my 3dprinter and they give me back my printer that prints like it originally did. (This thing is getting tedious)
Finished Malazan book 4 last night (Chain of Dogs?). It's good. First quarter being focused on one guy was very weird for a series that loves to have a dozen ongoing groups at any time. I think it was the first time they mentioned the Malazan colors being mauve and gray (like my Cities of Sigmar!)
Turned in our ballots for Abdul El-Sayed yesterday. All the cool people are voting for Abdul.

As someone who loved the original Necromunda, played the LRB/ORB rules for years, and then was completely turned off by the previous "Every gang is so different now they all need $50 books and complicated post-game workflows of their own," how much am I going to like the new edition of #Necromunda?
Played Another Door's demo with three friends last night. It's basically The Prisoners Dilemma, The Game. 4p, try to get the most gems by living the longest, with each room giving everyone the same set of choices, making a series of secret decisions and then revealing to show the effects.

The "no cheating, post your lock screen" posts reminds me that I can't post mine unedited because it has my wife's phone number on it. You should set your lock screen text to something like "In case of emergency, call: " so if your phone is lost or you're incapacitated, people know who to call.
"yeah i just ask chatgpt and-" cool i no longer take you seriously as a person
