family health emergencies mean I've had to pull out from trading at tomorrow's Partizan in Newark. That's a big hit to cashflow so I've just put a 10% off code on the shop to grab some orders instead - use PARTIZAN10 at Checkout to qualify. I'll ship out existing show pre-orders on Monday!

Slept with a member of a 00s girl band before they were famous. Can't tell anyone as I was and still am with my husband and straight.

Look, we all have hobby projects that we put in the back of the cupboard or in the shed that we have every intention of going back to.

And then forgetting about.

Barn finds are the rich people equivalent of that 2nd edition Tyrannids army that you've been putting off since 1996.

I wonder what a rebooted or revived Person Of Interest would look like?

I mean, the crime of the week format was the most effective camouflage possible, but a prestige tv twelve episode story would also work.

And if anything the fear of omniscient surveillance is only more timely.

Mafia 3 was the first game I completed when I got a PS4, that's gotta be a good 8 years ago.

For a game about a Black man murdering racists, they didn't license as many songs by Black artists as you might expect.

I'm not going to say that it's a complete waste of money, but the scenario in the book, and this Kathryn Bigelow movie are about "bolt from the blue" surprise attacks.

And a bunker in NZ does you no good if you're in America.

Billionaires are trying to build nuclear bunkers in New Zealand because the author of Nuclear War: A Scenario is of the opinion that NZ would be least affected place in a nuclear apocalypse.

Of course, in a decade or so, arseholes will confidently that these are Pepé's resisting Obama's BLM Commandos or similar nonsense.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

The Mouth of Sauron always looked a bit too Judge Death to be a coincidence.

So maybe also some charity shop or Home Bargains toys.

Or those 3d printed Hiss tanks that I was looking at last year...

James Hodden @jameshodden.bsky.social · 22h

Now I'm thinking, what else can I spray olive green or German grey and stick some WW2/K47 transfers on?

Using Captain America The First Avenger as an example, any modern tank can become an experimental wonder weapon if you paint it Black and put a skull transfer on it.

So, is telling people that this Qatar airforce base that's opening in Idaho is where the UN black helicopters are going to be based funny or not?

I played Palladium games for maybe three or four years, Palladium are company that even then felt like they were on the brink of collapse through their own hubris.

It always amazes me when every 5 years or so I am reminded of them and they are still scraping away.

I remember playing RIFTS nearly 30 years ago, and the wizard in the party looted a machine gun so that she could actually do something in combat, as level one spells did Jack Shit.
