Avid painter of toy soldiers and animator of video game critters!
#FinalGirl I’m 0 for 6 on Station 2891 (homage to “The Thing”). You have to do all the things on a map that’s working against you, and fast: save victims, test, find weapons. It especially sucks when you draw the card that discards a Test Kit nearest you. It hates me. So try it on the USS Konrad!
#FinalGirl vs. the Evomorph! Which hasn’t managed to evo OR morph because I’ve spent the game running ahead and it and herding victims into escape pods. There is no rule for if the hatchling runs out of Terror cards without having killed anything. I HAVE BROKEN FINALGIRL! I AM QA ROYALTY!
“We don’t have AC in Seattle because we don’t really need it.” The time is wrong, it’s only 6:30pm, but still too freaking hot for a living room.
Just played my first game of Final Girl Evomorph! I had beginner’s luck with hot dice and a straight shot to the loader, soooo. Super fun. I won with Ellen. I didn’t recognize Vasquez in Jenette — good 80/20 joke — but did think she reminded me of John Conner’s foster mom. Wtf, brain. #finalgirl
Class two or three is about acceleration and deceleration:
I'm trying to divest from FB and got the big dump of all my media. It's quick and easy, and practically the only thing that site has done well in about six years. Such memories! Here is Chase from my iAnimate class. #3danimation
I finally got an expansion for #FinalGirl! This is the one based on Terminator 2, where Sarah Conner is trying to save John from being murdered in the mall but ten minutes after the opening credits the T100 shows up and kills him and the rest of the film is about regret.
I finished Dakota's gigs, but was not psyched about whatever she might give me as a parting gift because it would certainly not be a fast car. And it's not. But the truck is decent, and I just pulled up to the Aldecados camp in terrain-appropriate wheels for the first time ever! #cyberpunk
I don’t post a lot of WIPs but I’ve been painting this thing all week and I’m getting lost in the subassemblies:
I'm a traditional gamer and would have turned down the Peralezes had they proposed a threesome, but it's pretty galling that they never even offered. #cyberpunk
Here’s my Snazzwagon’s larger subassemblies. Ork painters, is it overkill? I’ve never painted a 40k vehicle, but my instinct for max-tabletop paint quality is to reduce the inaccessible areas. Maybe it doesn’t matter, maybe it’s all just shadowy grime anyway. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k
Making quick and simple Bake Results and Delete Layers buttons have sped me up absurdly. It's not even so much the time it takes to hunt and click through the UI, but the interruption of flow. #3danimation #techart
I painted the Echoes of Death Necromancer for #KingdomDeath! I love KDM survivor minis, they're beyond top of the line, but they all want a unique color scheme and the OSL stresses me out. Time to change gears and work from recipes for a bit. #miniaturepainting
I painted the Echoes of Death 4 Boxer for #KingdomDeath! It's been like trying to paint miniatures in a tumble dryer this year. Everything is so distracting, I tend to just play video games or go back to work. I hope I'm starting to climb out of it. #miniaturepainting
I'd bet good money that CDPR disabled NPCs in photo mode for this shot, so people wouldn't put Nibbles the Cat next to Reed and post on social media with the caption: "war. War never changes."
Corpo netrunner V *definitely* would. I'm just taking my role-playing seriously. #cyberpunk
I really like this cantankerous old jerk. I generally don't quibble with creators killing off the wrong character, they know how their story's supposed to go, but I would like to have had Slider in my ear as a fixer. #cyberpunk
Pretty fun! My #FinalGirl saved six stupid horny teenagers before braining Hank with her trusty Aluminum Bat in the flickering lights of the Fire Pit, with a lucky draw for final health pip for Laurie and a bad one for the hog-faced killa. Nail biter. Thanks, will slay again.
I'd love to have a 40K Ork army. I've been greenskin-mad my whole life and had a big OnG army. All my painted orks are Blood Axes, but I don't love having to study camo designs. Maybe start fresh with Evil Sunz? Red is fun, and fast! Bad Moons too. Goffs could let me paint Ghaz. Hmmm. #warhammer
I spent lunch learning about class inheritance and decorator functions. I always find this kind of ground-level scripting, whose tutorials inevitably provide a sample problem of managing calendars or comparing ages or whatever, to be so enjoyable. #Python
CHOOMS2 #Cyberpunk If Goro is such a bad guy, why does he have the funniest texts? I always want to be his friend, right up til the end.
At my last job I wrote documentation for our rigging pipeline, including this consecrated act:
I really enjoy the Aldecados family drama. Pan Am should have her own game. #cyberpunk
I expect this is a known bug. Now that I've seen one pair of twins, I'm seeing them all over the place.
#Malifaux Neverborn and terrain! These are Loot Studios trees. I enjoyed the process of painting so much, I printed the whole month, intending to make a table out of it. But I didn't write down the recipe, and was never able to figure it out. The Lost Trees! Some oil, some drybrush, some I dunno.
Posting an anime we love (I'm not an anime fan in general, there's a whole lot of dumb out there, but I like Edgerunners and Redline SO much that I expect I just need the right curated watch list)
