You know, I wouldn't mind but I live a stones throw from a bloody salt mine and a salt chemical factory and the roads are still fucked here.

Tried to drive into the office through the snow. Gave up due to sheer amount of traffic.
Took nearly 2 hours to drive minus ten meters overall. Great start!

So here's to 2026 and more of the positives above please, but also get my hobby mojo back.
Maybe it's time to look for a new job too. Who knows?

You know, 2025 sucked. Barely played any tabletop games, didn't paint for 6 months either. Felt rubbish throughout.
But also, I got into Mountain Biking again, lost some weight, climbed Snowdon and various other tall things, had my heart broken playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
So not all bad.

There's a bunch of new Twitter escapees inbound, welcome aboard! This'll get you started off, it's hard capped to 150 I'm afraid but it's a starting point. Also go into Feeds on the menu and add #nerdlings and any specific games you play. And use ALT-text!
Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around

If it's like the Questoris knights you can pop the arms back off once they are posed for easier painting.

Done "a few" knights. Keep the panels off for seperate painting. Drybrushing the skeleton is your friend. My order is silver spray, black wash, pick out brass bits, brown wash, silver drybrush, gold drybrush on brass. Blue-tac is also your friend when picking a pose or partially locking off an arm.

I dunno, given his "opinions", you'd think you'd want to stay away. Just makes me think less of his guests tbh.

Why do people keep going onto his show? I don't get it.
Given this man's recent history and apparently being repeatedly broke, just why?
