Looks like you might be staying in the same apartment I did when I first visited Seattle. Great view, isn’t it?

I love them. The inside of my mouth, not so much.

I let the intrusive thoughts win and hung my ceiling nightlight thing from the inside shower curtain and shower with the lights off. I find it more calming–not that I found found showers not relaxing before but feels like I’m shutting out the outside world more and that I find more relaxing.

I also have some of those bone conducting headphones that are waterproof so I listen to podcasts while I shower as well.

Huh, never knew the Soviets got churchills. 🤔

Some creators are a bit iffy on the models, usually because there’s too much detail for the scale. It looks great in renders but it’s almost unpaintable. Some others like station forge have got it spot on, though. Enough detail to keep it interesting without being an absolute pain to paint.

The tubes replacing their beard on the helmeted models is so dope.

I have two resin printers (an old Proton and a Saturn 8k) and I’ve printed a fair number models, though no vehicles and it’s been SO worth the money now that easy to print, less-brittle resins exist. The patreons I was subscribed to provided very good value per month too. I never got into tablestop stuff largely because of the cost but printing minis is wildly cheap after the initial setup costs–and it’s not like you can’t print other non-tabletop stuff (I use mine for other personal projects too). I can print a “space marine” and base him (I print my basic bases on an FDM printer) and it’ll cost me somewhere in the ballpark of 15 cents vs, what, multiple dollars if I were buying from GW? I guess it does take a fair amount of DIY to learn the process and dealing with the resin itself is not exactly fun but I find that a worthwhile tradeoff.

Bit crazy watching Reddit devolve to FAST.
