OH NO! NO NO No No no no nooooo. Let's just slice the skin off of gram's wrinkled back and hang it up on the wall to traumatize her grandkids for the next 40 years... What's next, offers to do a full taxidermy on your dead wife so you can finally win an argument while she is entombed in a chair?

RIP to my worn XB360 wired controller: you had an incredible 18 year lifespan, but now your cable is damaged beyond repair, your buttons are finicky, and your dpad sticks. Time to go to the great console in the sky. Please welcome our new friend: OBNOXIOUSLY NEON GREEN BOI

Annnnnnnnnd 45 minutes after opening, the KS is fully funded!

Proud to be the 73rd backer of HeroForge's new KS: Custom Dice! www.kickstarter.com/projects/her...

I want to like World of Tanks and World of Ships and Wargaming's new Proj CW, but it's infuriating when the optimum strategy continues to be "ram Link with your tank & then magically your gun works at point blank & his doesn't" UGH. This has been a core flaw with WOT since the beginning.

Today was productive for gaming: built a scene for Otherscape, finished a character for W&G AND played his 1st scene (to thunderous social applause) 🥰 Getting to play with @retired11b.bsky.social after all these years is phenomenal, couldn't ask for a better scene partner to bounce improv off of!

Selling my Motegi wheels in preparation to sell the car they were mounted on. Great condition, just not going to get a return on my investment selling them to the dealer. nextdoor.com/for_sale_and...

Trying to keep up the keepin' up with my Japanese...

Going live with Star Wars: Outlaws on my Twitch stream in a little bit (30-45min) as soon as it finishes installing. #blindplaythrough #starwarsoutlaws #veteran #exgamedeveloper #neurospicyAF #nofilter www.twitch.tv/silverbackprime

Been radio dark for some time now, because I've been bedridden & delirious since last Monday. Couldn't keep anything down, not even water, kept slipping in and out of fever dreams until my partner forced me to the ER on Friday where things like "157/126" & "113bpm" & "elevated white count" were said

That moment when your partner says "hey it's supposed to snow tonight, did you cover Brujita?" at 11pm & you run outside in your jammy pants & boots only to discover that your vintage Japanese sports car already has 1/4-1/2" drifts of snow all over her, so you've gotta scramble to cover her up. 🤣😭🥶

It wasn't just minis though! I also cranked out the two handles for the Battle Sporks™ commission! #blacksmith #handforged #ironwork #decorativeiron #forging #metalart #handcrafted #handmade #artisan #metalwork #blacksmithing #ironart #customironwork #forgediron #nopowertools #traditionalsmith

The fires have been burning, literally and figuratively, over the holidays! Sculpted, modified, and built this chonky boi during my holiday break... #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #minipainting #paintingminis #miniaturepainter #miniatures #warhammer #warhammer40k #wh40k #paintingwarhammer

That moment when you set yourself on fire while grinding because you got too excited about the project and forgot to put on your leather apron #Imfine #shealreadyyelledatme #Ideservedit #whoops #blacksmith #handforged #ironwork #decorativeiron #forging #metalart #handcrafted #handmade #artisan

Coming up next from the forge, a pair of Battle Sporks™: 10" handles, 4"X5" bowls, and made of solid steel. Check out the sketch! #blacksmith #handforge #ironwork #decorativeiron #metalart #handcraft #handmade #artisan #blacksmithing #ironart #customironwork #forgediron #traditionalcraft #handtools

The first project off of my new forge was this massive 8” diameter tröllaðeild made from 3/4" round bar, as a gift to my wife for all her love and patience as I get this hobby going. #blacksmith #handforged #ironwork #handcrafted #artisan #metal #customwork #ironart #traditionalcraft #handtoolsonly

Before and after re-etching a client's Athame. Job overall required 3 hours of labor to clean and remove tarnish. Contact me about similar cleaning and etching services. #blacksmith #handmade #stormforged #etching #pagan #smallbusiness #ironwork #fireandsteel #nopowertools

Small job for a friend, creating a 3/8" tröllaðeild belt buckle for a wrap belt she's constructing. Since this picture I've turned the horns in a bit more, and added a brass rivet to the center where the horns cross. #blacksmith #ironwork #stormforged #trollcross #handmade #beltbuckle #forge #steel

Throwback to a month ago, when I changed Brujita's peepers to high-intensity LEDs (still need to connect the turn signals and DRLs)

Vaguebooking, but sometimes you realize it's the right time to chill and crack open your bottle of #RealAleBrewing 's Magnum Trux 2018, and let me tell you...6 years of storage has done AMAZING things to this delicious brew. #BathtubBeer #BathTimeWithWifey #Sköl
