I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

w/o downloading anything new - where are you mentally?

Ollie Groß @olliegross.bsky.social · 7d

That's what I call it. The product is called 'presentation booklet'.

Ollie Groß @olliegross.bsky.social · 7d

Easy to store, quick and easy to go through and find what you need. Also available in larger size for bigger sheets. But for most GW decals A5 is sufficient.

A book with empty sleeves, a Gundam model kit instruction as the cover.

It is a Pandemic System game, and rules wise not difficult.

Mini of the month - Why so negative?

Entry 2 by @owolf.bsky.social

Space Scarabs from the Negative Zone

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

These Scarabs can enter the infamous Negative Zone without noteworthy loss in functionality but they bring an unpredictable amount of negative energy back into our dimension.

tweet that reads:
Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

So, new season of Slow Horses, and Hades 2 is out? Say goodbye to my (nonexistent) spare time.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Printed some figurines to keep me well-grounded in matters of faith. Tomorrow I'll add a goat, and a frog. #3Dprinted

Two 3D printed figurines in Kawaii style: a yellow-eyed black cat with an inverted red cross on her forehead, and a purplish blue cat demon with long horns sitting next to a couple of skulls.

Tyrrell's salt & vinegar

A pack shot of Tyrrell's sea salt & cider vinegar crisps.

Ollie Groß @olliegross.bsky.social · 27d

It is, and it is also a very good 2-player game ;)

Not that I've had time to play #ttrpg in the last 12 months, but even more so, I don't have the time or inclination to read 400 page rulebooks.
