I abandoned this build I was working on months ago because life got in the way

I thought it was safe but turns out the dog had been climbing all over it to look out the window.

It took a while but I've fixed the small ships. The big ship is gonna be a bit of a project

Ordered my first Gunpla model: Snaa Hg 1/144 Sc-009 Divine Invoker-Percival Deluxe Edition

I hope it's good and fun to build. Anything I should know before I get started?

I've been reading so much #BrandonSanderson lately, he's my favourite author but has anyone got recommendations for other books with a similar feeling?

I've had Joloff rice a few times from Nigerian colleagues and I love it. I've looked for recipes but have been told the ones I found are wrong aha. Anyone got advice of proper joloff recipes I can try? Maybe not necessarily Nigerian? I know other countries do them too

On chapter 48 of Wind and Truth. It is very hard to put down. It feels very different but I like how very often we are getting multiple POVs per chapter. That normally only happens towards the end of these books. When a lot of stuff happens at once.

My #Dachshund Maya has been refusing to touch her food for two days, trying to switch her to it. Any suggestions?

Any pixel art advice for a beginner?

I'm trying to make a 16x16 mouse. It looks...kind of rodent like?

Any example or advice is appreciated, I suck at this 😂

My first attempt at pixel art. I'm trying to learn game development using Pico 8. I'm having a lot of fun. It's hard to work with 8x8 though isn't it. I've had some great advice from people in the community but always happy for more.

Thanks

My kobo finally arrived. It seems real nice. I'm no longer tied to Amazon products in any way also!

Poor Maya is absolutely fuming because my keyboard is in her usual space. She is going to call the RSPCA on me for sure.

Just finished reading Edgedancer, it is like a great little interlude between stormlight archive 2 and 3. Its a nice change of tone and pace but also feels important. Who are these Sleepers?? I love Lift. She is awesome.

What is an opinion about books (or reading) that gets you like this?

I'm a bit scared to say this, but I've tried several times to like Lord of the Rings... despite being a huge fantasy fan.

I just finished reading Words of Radiance, a fantastic book. More than once I was up reading til 6am.

Now onto Edgedancer which I imagine is going to have a lot of laughs.

Does anyone know any ebook readers with continuous scrolling and a reading ruler? I really need this feature to help me focus. So far kindle is the only one I've seen with this feature. But I want to distance myself from using Amazon products.

Any help appreciated

Remind me to never go to warp 10. Good episode.
