I remember printing these in my garage. Truly, they were the salad days of community in our little corner of the internet. #worldofwarcraft

Having a great time playing #AgeofSigmar Spearhead with @briantific.computer. #warhammer
A small board miniatures war game of Age of Sigmar between Dark Elves and Ghosts. Both armies are in their starting positions of the game and there are two large walls positioned between them. The same game but the aftermath of round 1. The Dark Elves have 3 units remaining and the Ghost army has 3 left as well.

Look at this lovely holiday gift from my good friend @briantific.computer. The hours it must have taken make it all the more meaningful! #miniatures #warhammer #miniaturepainting #miniwargaming
This photo is a front 3/4 angle of a fully painted "Grotmas Gitz" miniature, which is a special Warhammer mini released by Games Workshop to celebrate the holidays. The mini features a Squiq (An angry red, hairless, bi-pedal ball of an orkoid creature with a vast mouth and tiny eyes) in full stride with gift-wrapped presents spilling out of its mouth and a makeshift set of reindeer antlers attached above its eyes. Atop the running Squig are two green Gitz (The Warhammer universe's Goblin species) holding on for dear life. Various other holiday accouterments are littered about the snowy base of the miniature.

I gifted #Balatro to my Mom’s iPad. I thought I was being a good son, but the opposite may be true.
A WhatsApp message window with the text: “Still figuring it out. I like it.” “I'm hooked got up 5 ante and 115 cash. I finally figured out what each joker and others do. By pressing on each card. Thank you, it is addictive.”
