And yes, I do have a Ko-Fi account.

I hate sharing it, feels like I'm begging by even posting about it.

reskeeting in the vain hope of just one order this weekend 🤣

ian.fenrisgames @fenrisgames.com · 1d

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!

I have a cereal box of 3rd ed Space Wolves that have sat under my desk for like a year because I just don't have the spoons to work out what they're worth and put them on eBay. Does anyone want to buy them off me for a reasonable offer?

There's tanks and bikes and wolves and dudes and a cute metal dread. His fingies are in the box.

Anyone who buys both will get extra options included! At the moment i'm going to have spare horns etc until specific moulds are made so may as well reward people with Bitz

I couldn't decide between the winged dual wielding demon with jutting horns or the staff/claw & dagger with no wings and swept back horns so I figured

For my USA peeps, a reminder that if you use the main shop it works out the 10% tariffs due and charges them when you purchase, i then pre-pay those on your behalf when i send the parcel. A Tracked parcel got to the USA buyer in 4 days last week with no hassle!

Reboosting. Behold the first person to win a Space Invaders contest. Ever. A gamedev legend who happens to also be trans, and one of those who fought so us trans #gamedevs could make the breakthroughs we have.

I know we aren't cashed up, but we are legion. A buck from all of us would help.

Decided to rewatch this modern classic.

#TheExpanse.

One of the best sci-fi shows until Andor came along 😁

The Expanse written in a poorly lit TV screen.

My friends are like "I can't connect with/find time for my faith right now, do you have any advice?" and I'm like "make a space for prayer/meditation in your home. Don't care if it's a room or a corner or just part of a shelf. Put physical space aside for it, and the mental space you need will come.

A prayer corner under an eaves roof, there's a flock of paper doves on the back wall, in front is a table with two books, an icon, and two lot candles on it. Hanging over the wall is a wooden cross. There's a kneeler below.

Outstanding work on such a complicated to build model Jess!

Darren Richardson (He/Him) @lostone1980.bsky.social · 1d

For WFB it was about unit building, people were complaining about how many metal figures they had to buy to get even a basic unit for the game built, so they created the monopose "pocket money" boxes to get people playing quicker.

It was less of an issue for 40k where units sizes were smaller.
