I have been out Running Errands™ and have secured the venison backstrap for tomorrow's dinner.
The Duroc apple-smoked bacon to go with the black pudding and scallops is also in hand.
My Duroc guy threw me some bone-in chops, so that's dinner either tonight or Friday.
This is going to be good.

Proof of (hobby) life: Noble Knight Games rescue #1 in progress.
Advertised as "Grand Manner A-frame", this is one of two now OOP Architects of War "Dark Age" A-frames. There's some nice interior detail, which I'll hopefully get to look nice.

#FeatureFriday As I delved deeper into creating Fomorians, I drew on their inspiration as written in the Lebor Gabála Érenn. There's a lot of name drops in the book of invasions which I've used to craft a set of clans, each with a theme. The Flayed Mind are those obsessed with death and eternity.

Friday saw me and Mark have a first dabble with Devilry Afoot by Nic Wright. What a blast?! It’s a cooperative game where the players are witch/monster hunters in the 16/17th C (ish!). Played out two missions. Only needs a two foot square terrain set up and a handful of figures. Recommended!!!

This regrettable state of affairs will be remedied forthwith.

This is absolutely correct.
Filing your I-765 to get your I-766, making sure you don't confuse your A number with your SSN, making sure you don't lose that EAD when you have it and having to explain to HR what half of this stuff means, and then becoming "the immigration expert" by default.

The average American is so far removed from any actual immigration concerns that any thoughts they have on the topic are meaningless.
If you can't tell me what the difference between an i-130 and an N-400 is, you shouldn't get any say.

Another couple of Arabic buildings released today; a small hut and a large house. Both with simple interiors and removable roofs.
I am making a tutorial using some of these in a small compound for OSHIROblog soon 😊

Sadly you just have to trim the names that become the worst offenders.
I've followed loads of interesting people who have slowly stopped posting about the thing that was interesting about them and swapped to politics.
Periodic trims when it gets too much is the only way
