This is the small resin version of my #Drex. A single piece, uber detailed print from the #elegoosaturn4ultra
What resin lacks in size it makes up for in detail.

I post a bit about toxic folk in the hobby. But I think its important to take stock & realise just how far our hobbies have come.
The reason the bigots are angry is because of the diversity in official product. It's the reason so many of their reactions are centred around denial.

I’ve had a couple more sent over night so not going to do the final render just yet. I’ll kick it off tonight.
I need a favour from anyone who can offer quick 30 seconds of their time. If you grab your phone/mic/wax cylinder/whatever and record:

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"

I need you to sounds like a deranged cultist. Record it once, twice, as many different ways you want.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

For some reason i ache a lot today and have a large bruise on my left side just under my arm.

Can't think why...
Well, that was my last HEMA sesh for the year. I feel knackered, but happy. My swordsmanship has improved massively this year. I just need to block more. At least I’m dying less.

This is the posthumous message left by Gil Gerard. The actor who played Buck Rogers in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) has just passed away at the age of 82.

Anyone got a spare £15 mil kicking around? My dads side of the family can trace back to the Nannau's so it would be good to have the land back. Also, I'd really REALLY like to own a haunted oak tree.
