Ok, that's the first time I've taken the train into Barnsley in nearly 30 years.

The transport interchange is SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was.

And the Library is a pretty inviting place.

I had a meeting about volunteering for the D&D club there, and I think I came across well.

Next Thursday I'm off to Consequences, a Freeform larp convention organised by UK Freeforms. We're descending on a Chichester holiday camp for 4 nights

Most of my costume for Kirbuk, chief engineer of the Aurora Horizon. On the way is a black Perihelion Crew Baseball Cap (A.R.T. if you're in the know.). Also a little carabiner gizmo and a sonic screwdriver

Considering going Combiweapon/Powerfist on the Terminator Captain from the Crux Terminatus Box. Some variety from the Monopose Leviathan box one.

Today has been a little bit of a stress rollercoaster.

Validate / entertain / inflict anxiety on me.

Right, that's five space wolf ladies built. When I can find my box of heads, I'll build some more.

Maybe another 10 spread across the remaining planned 35 non-character infantry. I wonder how the female heads I have will work with wolfguard terminators.

I'd be in favour* of bringing back the pilory for people who set off fireworks. Writing to GB News about it.

In a way, they're actually terrorists, actually.

*I'm obviously not in favour of putting people in the pilory for anything. Actually.
Petition: Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only
Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks. I believe that permitt...

This evening, I'll make a start on assembling Raksha Modervargen (Wolf Priest), Thyra the Valkyrie (Wolf Guard Battle Leader), and Skjoldjungarna (Wolf Guard Head Takers)

Another set of Crimson Wings Female Vampire Space Marine heads have arrived. I can build more Space Wolves now.

Anyone within hailing distance of Huddersfield, who has a mighty need for the Crux Terminatus Battle force: ka-pow comics in Byram arcade has 2 on the shelves.

Mrs Wyrd approves of the Warhammer Quest: Darkwater minis. I shall probably acquire.

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM

no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness

I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

Worp! Worp! Worp! All chuds to typing stations!

Human (not Astartes) women spotted in an Ultramarines kit!

The minis look pretty decent too

Healy Tallboi remains conspicuous by his absence.

On the remote chance that someone bangs on my door in the near future and demands to play against my necrons, I'll either proxy him with a Skorpekh Lord or tweak my list to use Shooty Tallboi instead.

Operation: Which Chinese Takeaway update.

China Palace food is nice, and they maintain a 5/5 hygiene rating.

And that's the last of the shelves up, and kallax built in Kat's workroom. Rar!

A brief Cream break, as I pick up my bass and find a tab for Sunshine of your love.

I really need to practice more, and maybe start up lessons again.

Next question: Which box is Healy Tallboi (Canoptek Reanimator) in? Then I'll have all of my 2k Necron list on a shelf (not 100% painted, but hey)
