Nothing feels as good in miniature painting for me as adding some good texture to a boring base.

One down, like 350 more to go (in this batch). Not gonna get much done today, working right now.

#miniatures
Closeup view of the base of a miniature, these the feet of a giant. The base was covered in glue and red sand and bits of rock added to give the flat base a bit of texture for when it is primed and painted later

Looking forward to playing this game. Opening it was also delightful, as they wrapped the game in a custom old newspaper wrapping (like at the fish markets)

Finished the second trade of Public Domain over the weekend. Great read, highly recommend.
Cover of Public Domain volume 2, a comic about a family(and few others) working on a comic the father was able to get control over again. The cover shows a domino style mask (that covers the eyes of the titular hero) with tears and breaks in it, while the background shows panels from inside of the book of the various characters.

It always cracks me up when a service I use like Shudder gets that fun "critical error" screen and find out the front end site is running WordPress.

Amazon bugs me for a lot of reasons, but the silliest is their logo where someone applied the tape in a manner that is efficient to open, but not to ship.

Can't tell if this ironic or unironic use of AI art for a local Brazilian jujitsu place. Did they do it so I would comment? I NEED TO KNOW!
