If you're not following me, you probably should be

Great big geek, mostly posting warhammer and random music

Trans rights are human rights. Don't you go being a twat now
What folds up into a GW box, I assume

Kill Team is super fun and the board size feels spot on for that game. But it's Kill Team, it's not 40k

I've not played Necromunda in a very long time but I feel like that probably benefits from a smaller board as well

That feels especially weird since KT doesn't even have weapon range

Eh, it is what it is. I shall continue to play on my big weird table. It's not hard to work out the right proportions for deployment and objectives

Oh you might be right, actually. 5' by... 3' 8"?

I remember back in the day 4'x4' was for 1000 points and it was 4x6 for anything bigger. The idea of any dimension being under 4 foot is peculiar to me

I only discovered today when playing a game that a regulation 40k table is 60x40 and that is nonsense

It's 6 foot by 4 foot. What is this small nonsense they're playing at tournaments these days?

Get on my lawn. It's 30% larger by area, there's room

Movie #7: Alien Romulus

I've seen remakes. I've seen reboots. I've seen belated sequels

I don't think I've ever seen a movie before that I could reasonably describe as a greatest hits album

What a completely weird movie to make. I didn't hate it, but I genuinely don't know what to make of it

Movie #6: Tromeo and Juliet

As with all Troma movies it's a wonderfully scuzzy mess

It's also a movie that is definitely *on purpose*. It even occasionally manages to be kinda visually arresting in ways that are sincerely impressive rather than accidentally

Movie #5: Love Lies Bleeding

The worst collection of haircuts you've ever seen in your life star in a squalid, grimy and surprisingly whimsical comedy thriller.

Worth watching to see how affronted Kristen Stewart looks every time someone points a gun at her

Movie #3: Godzilla Minus One

In which Godzilla is a metaphor for PTSD, and it is all genuinely very emotional. Enjoyed it so much I didn't even let the occasionally duff CG distract me.

Much.

I do love the title track from Ash, fair play

Movie #2: Heretic

One of those movies where the writer's hand is annoyingly visible. More than one scene involves terrified teenagers making the sort of deductive leaps that would make Steven Moffat's Sherlock wince

Hugh Grant is having huge fun, though

I was a projectionist for a few years, before it all went digital. That was fun, although I spent most of my time playing Pokémon.

I once found an empty box or Toffifee in the gents cubicle and I'm just like... Did someone sit there and eat those? The whole box?

... Are they OK?

Rarely had anything that bad. Probably the silliest one was when some bloke walked in about 11pm and started filling a bag of pick n mix. Went absolutely mad at me when I explained we'd cashed up the tills and couldn't sell anything

Used to get a lot of complaints about the safety lighting being too bright. Had some bloke lecture me about lux levels once

Mate, I work in a cinema. I didn't pick the bulbs
January 3, 2025 at 6:53 PM
I also worked at a cinema. Someone once demanded a refund because they'd say through the entire of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during the once a week showing with subtitles, and apparently that was distracting

Still watched it all, though!

I've had customers insisting that they can't possibly drive a smaller car, because they have kids

Like families don't make do with small cars. My mum had a Corsa when I was a kid!

I once had someone complain the courtesy car they'd been given was white, because they'd "look like a hairdresser"

*Won't be

Won't he her car. I work in the motor trade and without reading ten article I can guess what's happened here

The wiring in her car has been chewed on by rodents, which can happen. She's refusing to pay for it because she doesn't think she should have to. The Corsa will be a courtesy car
