I had an old HP one that suddenly decided I needed a HP account and a subscription to even use it, so that one got the "gun" treatment

Mine is on my PC as "Dickhead" so it knows where it stands.

I have some Alexas in the house that aren't set up yet, but they'll only be turned on when I want to use them as house-wide speakers (I got them cheap from a charity shop for that one function). The rest of the time they will be unplugged.

god I love customer feedback

Facebook screenshot from a customer to Fenris Games. "Thanks for the free tea bag. no thanks to the Antifa garbage you sent with it." I responded with a Haha emoji. there's a photograph of two circular "love miniatures, hate fascism" stickers.

Is this... feeling supported and listened to by a political leader?! It's an almost alien feeling 😅

Agreed! Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made, but Alien is a masterpiece.

Could be, could be ladies. Ambiguous enough that folk can use them as they want and that's awesome

There was also this head in the recent Ultramarines upgrade announcement. Fem-Marines* being casually introduced!

Granny Weatherwax is finished!

Although I had a lot of problems painting her, and she didn't turn out as well as I hoped, I'm still so happy with what I accomplished. Lessons were learned and hopefully I did Esme justice.

Some day I might fix her hat brim and paint a gold bee on the plinth. ☺️

It’s Friday! Hurrah!

This week the theme is…robots.

So let’s see your mechanical monstrosities.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!
