Listen, if me being nude is going to be this campaign's running joke, I'm going to lean into it
Picked up this amazing model in Japan recently and am excitedly putting it together (Kai from Zealot Miniatures)
This little tea place down the way from our Osaka hotel is absolutely killing it
My favorite brewery — Hitachino Nest — also happens to feature my favorite mascot I would die for you, little owl (Also pls open a tasting room in LA Hitachino I will personally annoy the Planning Commission)
Hit up one of my favorite places on Earth yesterday — Nakano Broadway
I shouldn't be this entertained by the canine urge to be anywhere but my office
They are trapped with me bc of workers in the house and it is a historic injustice
I'm not saying we should sink Burbank under 10,000 feet of water but
So our outdoor pond is coming along after a rocky start But the fish seem to not fear me (took about 3 weeks of conditioning) and the water hyacinth is having babies
So after assembling 20 more godforsaken ungors for Old World, I took a little break from goats-mans to make the Empire elementalist His staff has a tiny spur that was mired in resin flash that had to be cut out by hand GW resin is soft, gonna check other players' to see if they cut theirs off lol
Lol this Armorcast Great Gargant — probably the rarest official Games Workshop model — jumped $800 in the last 5 seconds of the auction
Got one of the made-to-order war wagons for Old World for MSRP and it's been a long road — warped resin, strange vent placement, dozens of pieces — but happy to report it's coming together with minimal resculpts
Chaos hounds probably done? The matted blood came out a little too black, so might hit that real quick with something a little brighter, but trying to not let "halfway decent" be the enemy of "actually finished"
First models for my Old World Brayherds are almost done — need to pick out details and tusks n horns n tails, but I wanted to see how my high-concept bases looked before settling on a color "High-concept" of course means "more blood" like I'm Hubbard on a movie set
The D&D campaign that demanded the hex tiles is getting a less-than-wholesome surprise Friday (You know how a lot of ancient Near East religions assumed the world was formed of the corpse of a primordial serpent? Yeah, the creation myth we're roleplaying is going to go in some v literal directions)
One of today's fascinating dichotomies: 401(k)s replacing pensions have pushed up stock prices as millions who wouldn't have invested 30 years ago have poured into the market Yet, rather than show some gratitude, the Masters of the Universe chide "retail investors" and demand moral corrections
With all the little freaks screaming how we must put in 60, 80, 100 hours a week to be worthy eaters, it's high time to remind everyone of this WSJ chart, which gave the game away that CEOs work about half as much as they claim to
Been playing the Tactics rerelease and like Sometimes it just does stuff like this
WSJ writing about Thiel's millennialism as if it's not patently absurd on its face is one of the strangest things I've seen today The other is this ProceWaterhouseCooper ad
