@blinky465 These days the hobby for me is just painting and solo board gaming. So if a model isn’t for a board game, I generally 3D print stuff for me to paint. I’ll buy a model if I particularly want it.

how may of you are printing your own minis now?

Only 2D paper standees.

Fixed focal length is an age thing. If you are close to 50 your eyeballs start to harden and they have trouble looking at details. Printing minis bigger might be the solution for now but your vision will get worse with time. So in 10 years you’ll be printing garden gnome size…[Read more]

Ok. On a completely different topic – how may of you are printing your own minis now?
(I’ve not bought a plastic mini for many, many years now).

I’ve a confession to make.
Ever since I realised my eyes now have a “fixed focal length” (I used to be awesome at close-up work but now I find I have to hold things a specific distance away, and anything…[Read more]

I know absolutely nothing about games (I think I last played games on my PC when Day of the Tentacle was a thing) but I do know that Linux is now a million times better than it was even just a few years ago. Last Xmas I upgraded my PC (it’s still pretty old, but I treated it to some new ram, bigger ssd etc.) and decided to give Linux Mint a…[Read more]

I’ve looked at pre-built … and they’re not that much cheaper. Worst aspect is that they inevitably come with all kinds of pre-installed crap (like Norton AV or McAffee … ).

Once again: not wrong there but a pre-build is already build. So unless you enjoy the building process it saves you a lot of time. Plus they are usually checked for any major f…[Read more]

Enshittification is complete.

I watched that video when I saw it in your facebook timelike. Ironic to a degree XD @blinky465

I’m probably committing heresy by selecting Windows 11 Pro as my OS, because I doubt that Linux could offer the kind of plug&play experience for games that Windows does.

You’re not wrong but also not right. @limburger  If al…[Read more]

because Google is worthless for this kind of thing these days

Enshittification is complete.

@limburger it’s their own song, not a cover of the Madness song. Heresy averted…

Duran Duran doing Night boat ?
no … just no. 😛

Did catch a clip of Sigue Sigue Sputnik … it’s like Cyberpunk in the 80’s ?

Here’s one thing I really shouldn’t like at my age … but I kind of do:

I haven’t seen the movie, but it’s supposedly not bad at…[Read more]
