I should at least make a first post.
I'm known on the internet as Deadfire, consistent gamer of many types, Canadian, Father of a daughter, retired military, fantasy and sci-fi Fan. Likewise, I should say that I'm into #BattleTech, as I spend a great amount of time as a Senior editor on @sarna.net

I really need to figure out what keeps triggering these chronic headaches and migraines. I know that my bad back causes some of them, just not all. That and a better way of dealing with them that doesn't seem to make them worse.

Though Loki seems not to care at all.

Mylo isn't a lap cat, and never sought comfort from me. In years past I couldn't even feed him due to his very strong bond with "Mother" and me being only the "spare". However due to his teeth/month issues getting worse, and us giving vet approved meds, it results in him doing this at rare times.
The poster's grey cat (of the Russian Blue breed) lays comfortably on the poster's lap. The cat's tongue is a little bit out showing how much he likes the action

I thought to redo my interview as it just seems I'm rambling on tangents. But as someone else pointed out it's definitely my talking style, and it's not *too* overwhelming this time. It doesn't help that I did a lot of very scattered work, more than the other interviewees who have firmer focuses.

As we hurdle into 2026, it helps to look back on 2025 and say, "Man, that year sucked." Unless you were a Sarna editor! Then it sucked slightly less because you made the best BattleTech wiki that much better. Here's our year-end review!

It's often a thankless job, but we're starting 2026 by showing our appreciation to the editors who keep Sarna the best fan-run wiki anywhere in the world.

Your last BattleTech news update for the year comes a little early, as I don't want to be writing this on New Year's. Plus, there's a very special video coming in two days that y'all should really know about :)

#battletech presents for #xmas to my family from @jparbiter.bsky.social and his family.

The box for the "Precentor Martial" Edition of the "BattleTech Universe" sourcebook really is heavy and the Mugs seem to be of fairly decent quality.
The picture shows 3 "BattleTech Mugs (featuring the Kell Hounds, 40th anniversary, and the Draconis Combine logos respectively), "Operation Reunification - World Tour 2024" patch and the Precentor Martial Edition of the BattleTech Universe sourcebook box.

Recently found in basement storage boxes and from early 2015 in Victoria, I miss those simple days and having enough free time to basically go to all these MtG events, and various other events at Yellowjacket. (That first episode of Friday Nights S9 by @loadingreadyrun.com really hit the feels)

Finally got my hands on some the #finalfantasy set of #magicthegathering for myself and my wife. Only a Bundle and the Starter decks (as it's really all we can afford), and so far we both think the set looks awesome. #MTGxFINALFANTASY #MTGxFF #mtg

The Endless War sweeps the Human Sphere and you are mustered to fight. But you need to know the horrors you'll face on the battlefield, be they BattleMechs, Abominations, or the great powers of humanity.

This is the universe primer to learn all about BattleTech: Gothic!

One of my favourite memories from my 5 years in Victoria, BC. Taken Jul 26th 2015, aptly named "GP Thunder Tarp" as the party decided to do a garden party and MTG Draft. Of course, the weather had other plans. Featuring friends: @sergeyager.bsky.social @ejarrett.bsky.social @historicbent.bsky.social

Here is Loki again for #Caturday. Here he is asleep on mom's jacket after a long day of being an almost 5-month-old kitten.
