Can someone explain to me why the runtime of the latest Mission Impossible film is nearly 3hours! That’s so much spy stuffing happening -M

#whatsyour2022moment The children have decided that naps next to me is the plan for the evening

#whatsyour2022moment Doing my first ever pause print on the Bambu Lad, so I can insert magnets into the build & it worked!

My birthday weekend working GamerFest has started Come get yourself some beautiful dice, with a change of getting a Mystery set for Free! #DnD #Dice

#whatsyour2022moment Seeing as it’s my birthday, I’ve enjoyed some take out & now to watch Jurassic Park before bed, as I’ve got a busy weekend ahead of me working GamerFest

Had a fun moment while out driving today: Stalled the van while coming out of a parking spot // It then wouldn’t restart, as I’m sitting, diagonally across the road // Luckily there was no traffic & it started up again after two more tries Good, non-stressful, times -M

Woot! Got offered a table for Northern Ireland Conic Con! It’s always an enjoyable event Cons not till Sept 6th, but it’s nice that they are planning so early in the year & now to book my hotel -M

With @amikondublin.bsky.social happening this weekend, oiling up some #DnD Dice Towers for the table #Dice #WoodWorking

#whatsyour2022moment Took Nicole to see Thunderbolts* tonight Really enjoyable film

Just rechecked when I’ll be able to do my driving test, it’s now been pushed to Sept So yea, if I’m lucky I’ll have my license by Christmas RSA you guys got to hire more people to work through this backlog -M

#whatsyour2022moment Happy #MayThe4th everyone Enjoying a little bit of movie watching to celebrate the day

I’ve had the melody of a song with a single line of dialogue, being “I love you” planing in my head all day Was finally able to work out it was Riptide by Vance Joy // & now to play it a few dozen times, just for fun -M

#whatsyour2022moment Words to live by

Finally figured out why the made RDJ Doom Fantastic 4 is set in an alt 1960s, which means Reed Richards would be the same age as Howard Stark & rather than going Gov shill, Reed made the world a better place with his tech Which Means Stark was always second fiddle & Tony didn’t like that -M

Finally got to see #Sinners & damn, it is a fantastic film Every part of it, from story, to setting, to costume, acting, music, & set design where unreasonable well made -M

#whatsyour2022moment Took the wife out for some birthday dessert // She ordered Banoffee pie but they’d ran out of bananas, so it took a little bit longer than expected

#whatsyour2022moment Wandering the Endless Halls of IKEA

Just booked a table for my first ever Christmas Market (yes, I know it’s April) Normally I don’t have Cons in December, so this should be a “fun” experience -M

I have the art of packing down my stall so on point, I can get from this to this in 45minutes That’ll all chance once I get my custom Con table/tavern built

A joyous First Contact Day to you all #StarTrek

Doing out my list of Cons I’ll be attending through out the rest of the year, & I’ve noticed that there’s nothing in July I get a whole month off in the middle of the year, which is nice -M

THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1958)

Bestist little dogo spotted at Kaizoku Con

I love how it only took me five years of using SumUp to list my Con table stock as individual items on the app, rather than just price blocks You think the way you’re doing things are “fine” until you keep having the same little problems over & over again -M

Need to be up for half8, to get to Kaizoku Con, so naturally I wake up at half5 & then again at half7 This happens every time I’m working a Con -M

I’m expanding the dice offerings I bring to my Con tables with some Wargaming d6s Here we have the first of the new batch, some Ork themed sets #Dice #Warhammer

Being at the Limp Bizkit concert last night took me back to my teens, rocking out on the dance floor of the local nightclub However this morning my body has reminded me that I’m in my 40s, & that much head-banging comes at a cost -M

Love the fact that I just found out Limp Pizkit are playing Dublin tonight from a Reddit post hating on conor mcgregor & there’s still tickets up, so I know what I’m doing tonight Sadly, the wife is not interested, but my 20year old self does not want to miss out on this -M

Saw this post today & my immediate thought was "what the Hell was Hollywood on in the 90s to crank out this many bangers!" Anyway, my answer is: Jurassic Park, Addams Family Vales, & Last Action Hero

Watched Heart Eyes tonight, it’s a fun slasher film Only critique was them skipping half the day, as I would’ve liked to see more of those killings, but the end more than makes up for it @joshruben.bsky.social did a fantastic job, & I just learned he also dir Werewolves Within, I love that film -M

This is the most messed up looking mount in the game & I'm so happy that it dropped! @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

My waiting time for a Driving Test with the Irish Road Safety Authority has gone from the middle of May, to June, & is now sitting at late July Guys, you got to hire some of these independent driving instructors, as the backlog is huge I need to drive for work! -M

#whatsyour2022moment Enjoying the last of the Valentines weekend by seeing Cyndi Lauper in concert

“Every time the sun dies, madness reigns” That’s one Hell of an opening line from @housemarque.bsky.social newly teased game: Saros @rahulkohli13.bsky.social is going to do an amazing job -M

We rolled a combined eight Nat 20s & Nat 1s in tonight’s #DnD game The highs & lows of the sessions were a trill We also had a character hit 1hp, which made it even more fun I love this game -M

We’ve watch the last ep of season 5 of Star Trek Lower Decks & it was great Hell the whole season was fantastic & had a wonderful send off @mikemcmahan.bsky.social you created a perfect Trek show & I hope you’re allowed back one day to make more -M

& that’s it for Warpcon 2025 What a great Con Thanks to everyone who came by the table, chatted, shared #DnD stories & bought Dice See you all next year

The staff at Warpcon kindly gave us vendors a food voucher, so I’m treating myself to a nice warm lunch for today

It happened again, a 2nd set of dice, these ones the Gemstone Amethyst set, are sold out Thanks Warpcon #DnD #Dice

It’s only Saturday morning of Warpcon & I’ve already sold out of my first set of dice, the Silver Bullets, which is both a good & a bad thing #DnD #Dice

I have found a flaw in our cashless society When your SumUp machine bricks itself in the middle of a Con you’re kind of Fucked Luckily there is an ATM outside -M

Setup for Warpcon is done Come get yourself a giant d100, or a delicious cheese dice! #DnD #Dice

Played the first session of our new campaign, using the Dark Eye system, tonight You roll three d20s & aiming to roll low Which, coming off a #DnD campaign, feels so wrong, but it’s fun -M

For some reason I can’t get a good promotional photo of these new #DnD dice sets I have on offer, but I’m going to show them off anyway Meet the Eternal Flowers, newest Metal Dice I have at my Con table (& online store soon)

Literally always ruin my day with a Terrible Fact ™️.

This would be worth going to
