silly wargaming smut 

There are many reasons to love Frostgrave

But seeing wargaming stalls stock a book about hyena furries, called "Into the Breeding Pits"

That never gets old, really

Copying Helm's Deep into your fantasy setting, aka "Anyway, here's Wonderwall."

(Total War: Warhammer 2)

I should really set up a posty-place for my mini painting again. I used to have a Tumblr for such things, but.. Tumblr.

Getting back into painting Dungeon Saga after a couple of years of health issues & focusing on other things hobbywise. Orks aren't done yet, but they're coming along orkily.

Shipwreck Golem is by Reaper Miniatures. Almost complete now. ;w; The little stowaway octopus is by far my favourite part.

re: Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request 

Guh

If I had the energy skills & hardware to make secure custom mountings (for the brakes and the handles) I could just install some standard-ass caliper brakes

(like the ones on any roadbike, ever)

I however lack these things

So the formal options seem to be "buy some reeeeal expensive ones from Texas, including ditching my current wheel setup for buying their wheels"

or switch to some kinda electric wheelchair or electric hybrid setup (also expensive, a lot heavier)

Or the informal gamble of asking around the local hackspace to hire a random bike-modding enthusiast

Cuz I like self-propelling, but grip strength is not something I will ever be at the required level for "just grab the wheelrims with yr hands lol" to be reliable/safe/not-massively-painful

Wheelchairs, Venting, Info Request 

Does anyone know of any handbrakes for wheelchairs, or wheelchairs with handbrakes?

By this I mean "I get brakes for my wheelchair" rather than "someone stood behind me gets brakes for my wheelchair".

(there are *tonnes* of the latter around, but afaict none of the former outside of one company who make brakes for specific wheels in Texas)

Like, I'm a big fan of turn-based grid tactics generally, and the writing's good

But the most satisfying part of the game is unlocking an expanding range of improbable showerhose attachments & glowy green thingamajigs to dress them up in

I did not realise how much I wanted a dressup-doll game with WH40K's grumpy transhumanist tentacle-clergy til Mechanicus came along

but the game is 100% onboard with indulging that

I am making a new Gamedev Law, so listen well:

If you're going to call a video a "pre-alpha gameplay trailer"

It has to just be the devs running round miming what's going to happen in the game, making all the noises with their mouths

(sock puppets will be considered on a case-by-case basis)

Autism, Ablism Snark 

the Secret Autistic Pronoun Set:
your child / your child's / your childself

ADHD & PTSD Overlap 

I think, something a lot of people don't click onto until a lot later in life (and most doctors don't at all)

Is that all the longterm symptoms of childhood trauma on the nervous system don't just diagnostically overlap with ADHD, you can have both at once.

When you do, the combination amplifies the effects. In frequency, breadth and intensity.

This also goes for chronic pain, digestion, mood stuff, anxiety, etc.

Trauma is a massive, longterm injury to your entire Nervous System. That impacts your body in a whole lotta ways that aren't usually what people think of.

Bladerunner 2049, movie snark 

I tried watching the Bladerunner sequel because I was bored and too exhausted to move, but I had to stop about 1/3rd through because jeez

There's sitting through tedious male gaze stuff, and then there's watching a movie try to speedrun the 'sexist tropes in noir/cyberpunk' bingo sheet

UK trans folks, hearing there's been a massive data breach at Charing Cross GIC. Best to check yr inbox/spam/etc if they've got yr email address.

Oof, I didn't see some of the other stuff on Twitter

That past toot was way wrong now I know the other context. Sorry.

I've had "Dress Sexy for my Funeral" by Smog stuck in my head since before I woke up fsr

I mean, it's a good song, but still.. Weird choice for an earworm, brain

First the Mercator Projection, now Cornwall

Everything I was taught in Geography was a lie

re: Hitman 2, videogames natter, ingame violence [abstract] 

..I do just want a Lupin III game made in the style of Hitman, tbh

Basically the same, but with stealing stuff instead of killing people

Right down to the player-made contracts. "Steal these 3 people's watches, while dressed as a fuzzy mascot, equipped with only a coin and a hairpin"

Give the player style points for completing a theft perfectly, *then* dramatically whipping off their disguise in the middle of a group of guards

"It was actually me all along!!"

Then run like heck to the exit

Hitman 2, videogames natter, ingame violence [abstract] 

Hitman 2 really missed a beat making the multiplayer symmetrical

Gimme one player trying to do a murder and the other player being some supersleuth detective trying to track em from the clues

"Hmmm a closet full of unconscious, naked waiter.. Any other detective would overlook this, but not I.."

And then it'd just all go Lupin III real quick

With ridiculous disguise reveals and emergent comedy chases

Omnicidal Attack Sharks are now Shyverns, if you were wondering

I can get behind dinosaurs as naked, bemuscled vaguely-therapod xenomorphs in media so long as it's like, "this is an established fantasy clade".

There needs to be a name that isn't 'dinosaurs' for it, though. One that still lets them like, exist in media alongside dragons and hypno-snakes and hellhounds and zombies

'Dyverns'

There, I fixed dinosaurs in media
