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
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.
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
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

Every once in a while I've gotta remind people that
Dogtato exists and is wonderful
and
This episode is queer as heck
This is a graffiti-free zone.
