Kale (at work): wanna build that model set when I get home
Kale (at home): Luna's snoozing on my desk, I can't disturb her

@BigJackBrass so, a slingshot?

DarkestKale, 9 days ago

@BigJackBrass see, here, a catapult puts people in mind of arcing fire, whereas a slingshot is rather direct

@BigJackBrass suspect that's a British thing. We call them slingshots or shanghais (though they've mostly disappeared, even Bart Simpson doesn't use one anymore)

Why hello, it's time for the periodic 'IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DRM FREE COPY OF X ON YOUR OWN PERSONAL HARD DRIVE THEN ALL YOU HAVE IS A TEMPORARY LEASE' reminder.

Fucking hilarious how going into early 2000s it was 'PIRACY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET STUFF' and then we had this ok period and we're cleanly sailing right back into 'FUCK YOU IF I CAN'T BUY IT'

I built up the #30MinuteMissions Spinatia Fencer, and... Woof, that's a delicate model.

Not nearly as rugged as the Alto.

It won't let me use them, though...

Seeing people talking about how hard it is to get a particular size/voltage fan and I'm like 'nah, it's fine, I have a bunch at work'

That's why people can't get them. Because I bought them all.

Oops.

I found an ebay seller with 30 minute missions armour kits for $5.50 each, free shipping, so yoink

Seeing a reddit discussion on anagathics in #Traveller and what they look like, and someone suggests a tattoo form w/slow release ink. When it fades, you go back for more treatment.

Neat.

Straight up, if I'd built this first instead of the Alto, I might have gone 'oh no'

As it is, I have two more spinatias and a HG model, so... Hrm.

@RogerBW it seems definitely like a point being made here:

> She snorted in disgust. “The word I get, it costs more than you’re paying. They charge it off to research and use it to make cassette games.”
> “Oh, that’s—”

Hrm. I don't remember this being the angle in the first Dream Park book.

So, today was the day a coworker used the phrase 'clussy' in my presence in the workplace

If nothing else, it's better at deodorising the air than anything else - and when you have three cats, that's more important than you would expect

Ah, the, Keys of Time scenario is actually in book 2.

Huh.

I ran a version of it for my #rpg group

A while back (six months?) I grabbed a small, cheap air purifier to have in my study to see if that'd help (sinus issues, etc)

It deffo seemed to, so I upgraded a little while ago to a much larger unit which I move around the house and run for a few hrs at a time, etc.

Absolutely on team air purifier now. Shit's good.
