Everyone is human, love is love. I collect hobbies, but here my focus is mostly miniature painting.

Painted Susan Sto Helit (Death's granddaughter in Discworld) this morning.

Three different types of black (grey cloak, purple skirt and corset and sharp highlights on the boots) with three highlight layers. Two or three highlights on the skin. And two highlights on the white hair. The black hair, metal and wood only got one highlight.

Now to work out how to do nice cobble stones!

@ibboard awesome! Where did you get it? I need to paint one of these for my wife, she's her favorite discworld character.

@ibboard thanks! Here's a photo of a small bust I painted up quickly for our Christmas decorations. I bet you'll enjoy it.

Okay fuck this for a game of soldiers.

Have been bed-ridden* since Tuesday afternoon incapacitated by fucking flu, and last night at 00:30 I woke up to an arrhythmia. Beta blockers worked a treat the way they usually do and I've now had enough of being ill.

Got mildly dressed, went downstairs, and am now tapping into that sweet sweet endorphins release.

  • Why is it bed-ridden? Was I covered in beds? sort your shit out

@pidgeon_pete I brought some home for Adepticon but haven't had occasion to use it yet. The demo videos look pretty impressive. One was just Jason using it on a live stream in real time.

Some post hobby goals progress. The 2nd Strike team and all the terrain from the core box are now fully assembled and on temporary bases. I can see how the droids might give some trouble with their thin joints. I found the trick was to batch assemble, doing one joint on one droid and then moving on to another droid.

The Star Wars Shatterpoint core box terrain assembled and packed back into the original box.

OK, so I definitely need to make better fitting images and provide more info, and maybe put the rules on itch.io for free. But it's still the 31st and the *beta version of my game is now live.

Decided I should install on my laptop and then failed.

Something like this:

  1. Work out what distro of Linux I should install? Idk. Maybe @Solus? 🤷

  2. Work out what the differences are between Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, or XKGB versions? Idk. Probably Budgie? 🤷

  3. Download via torrent 😎

  4. Spend 15 mins trying to work out what the app for making disk images is called. Etcher? Got it.

  5. Realise I don't have a USB flash drive in the house. Or a blank DVD. Or an SD card reader.

🤷

@matt @Solus good news is quality flash drives are cheap these days. They're a great tool to have in case of computer trouble. You can set one up with something like Medicat to have on hand in emergencies.

Drama Update...

Had an hour long chat with a YouTube rep - which was hard work.

And, despite being told to just wait it out, I eventually made some headway... and got them to do some digging.

Luckily, earlier today, @pidgeon_pete sent me a video that outlined some of the terminology to use, what to quote/emphasize, and so on - so I was able to put that to good use.

And wouldn't you know it - I finish the call and 'ping' the claimant has had a change of heart.

So... I'd call that a win 🙂

@csp_kris @pidgeon_pete now file a suit against them in small claims court for the lost time and revenue.

roofuskit,
@roofuskit@mstdn.social avatar

@csp_kris I get the sentiment, but you were lucky to dodge the attack of a predator who's taking advantage of a broken system. Someone should stand up and make them think twice or they'll just steal from the next person. If every fake claim cost them money they would have to think twice.

Printed minis! Now onto the cleanup, and basing while the enemies print. I need a bigger base for the chunky lad on the bottom right so he's not glued down and slumped forward. A few small breaks but no misprints I've noticed, made a few bits too small. Really pleased with this. I MADE THIS 😁😁😁

@pidgeon_pete that looks like a fun bunch. What do you have in mind for them?

I just tried the trick for cleaning my 3D printers FEP, putting in a couple of handles then curing an entire layer of resin. I'm actually shocked it worked perfectly, all the white powder that had settled completely cured into that layer and my resin is clean. Amazing. Yes I know I shouldn't be leaving resin in the vat but I do.

roofuskit,
@roofuskit@mstdn.social avatar

@pidgeon_pete as long as you stir it up letting it sit is fine. I have a small silicone spatula to avoid marking the FEP. Never had any issues with prints as long as I mix it back up.

Photo dump. (3/3) I'm not very good at making sure to take photos but lots of games were played, lots of fun was had, and I got to hang out with lots of people I only get to see in person once a year.

Pre-orders for Halo: Flashpoint are up and we get to see what the game looks like and info on how it will play. It's taking a lot from Deadzone which is a cool rule set but I never much liked the minis, so this is perfect. I will be designing so much terrain and bases for this!

@pidgeon_pete demoed it today! Seems like with a full game it will do a good job emulating the multiplayer game.

@pidgeon_pete they have a big booth at Adepticon with a demo area for it.

As my daughter was helping with the vegetables tonight I commented how her hairband made her look live Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earing. After arguing that she can’t because she doesn’t have earrings, I showed her a photo of the painting. Apparently it’s boring and she can paint better.

@matt the screenshot is of course well within the bounds of fair use. So anything refusing to allow that is absurd. I guess when companies like Microsoft are trying to appease monied corporations what's fair to the user goes out the window.
