It’s most likely not Cancer.
Low to minimal possibility, as the chance is never quite zero.

Sadly, I now have a new medical journey to undertake, as the original cause remains unclear, but a BIG concern has been answered.
Hospital today.
No matter what the result, it's bad news. I'll likely require surgery based on the limited convo's I've had with NHS.

Some bad news is worse than others however.
Won't know either way for at least a few days after today's tests, at the earliest.
Still, very anxious & very scared.

So I found out today that on this month, 33 years ago (HOLY F-), the original version of #StarWars: X-Wing was released on floppy. Which means I have an excuse to repost my own version of the X-Wing box cover art.

Oh those are gorgeous! Both the model & that limited pallette paint job; that yellow gold is really smooth.

Pupper prep has begun in earnest. Even if @hobbytan.bsky.social is exhausted after work & I’m in a lot of pain right now. Scan's/Consults can't come soon enough.

So many lil "Dog proofing" things ned to get taken care of over the next two weeks.

Since when the Fuck was Timber so G.D. expensive?
Just had to drop 30GBP to repair some storm damage from this time last year... also tools.
Never know when you'll need a work table or saw horse.
Rarely, admittedly but when you need'em, /you NEED'EM/.

To be so close to FINALLY getting my hands on a personal Hobby “Holy Grail” AND not have to pay a friggin’ BOMB to get them…
/If only I could actually Afford them/.

The timing, for me personally for this limited time re-release, could not be worse.

Been quietly chasing these minis for a decade or so, having just missed out on them back in the day.
They’re pretty in their own right with some great sculpts & would compliment my Varuna minis nicely.
But financially? At my limit for the next lil’while.
January 24, 2026 at 12:14 AM
Wait Tohaa also got some classic mini’s released!?

Cus if so, MAN am I outta the loop on Infinity releases!
January 24, 2026 at 12:12 AM
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! FUCK!

Why now! Why not in a few months, even it was still limited.
FUCK.
Been chasing these #infinity #PanOceania minis for a decade (they’re silly money OOP) & I am pretty damn brassic r/n.

Holy /damn/.
This is ALOT of fun & Mordin is in his element here, you nailed his patter as well as his conscience I think.
Regardless, the premise alone is really interesting for someone like Mordin to get stuck into, let alone his reluctant friend here.

I thought the throat/choker plate was part of their rank insignia, with something like the two 'stripes', rather than pips, indicating them as Lt's??
Or did I just misread that from discovery's later seasons.

He's really neat, great job.
Wish GeeDubs would just pull the trigger & give us a full unit of these folks, as say light cav skirmishers. they're just a neat concept and the few versions of this we have so far have been great.
