The electric chair. You looked so tired. You'd been running for so long.

All the Stargate shows are back on Prime.

Full Spectrum Warrior.

What a neat game that nobody talks about. It's in the squad level tactical shooter wheelhouse, although it isn't actually a shooter. You take an over-the-shoulder view switching between two (sometimes 3) teams in a squad, directing them through levels. It is sort of like Brothers In Arms, though in a more modern setting, small numbers of people to control, and having to fully rely on your NPCs to kill the enemies. An interesting twist on the squad management genre, it sits somewhere between a tactical management shooter, and a top down management game like Door Kickers.

'Screamers' is a 1995 scifi movie starring Peter Weller. There's just something about the vibe of this movie that really draws me in. If you like sort of bleak mid budget scifi this is a good one.

'Hell Comes To Frogtown', a 1988 movie starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. A post apocalypse where there are frog people and Piper is playing a Mad Max type. It's an absurd fever dream of a movie. 'Big Trouble In Little China' energy.

'Soldier' from 1998 starring Kurt Russell. This is like a forgotten Kurt Russell movie. It's not particularly deep, but it's a good popcorn movie to watch a simple plot of a super soldier taking out evil super soldiers.

'The Spy Who Came In From The Cold' is a 1965 movie. About, of course, a spy. An agent sent not East Germany during the Cold War. It's not the normal action oriented James Bond kind of spy movie. It's a lot talkier, and I find it kind of depressing. So if you like that sort of thing, there it is.

'Observe And Report' is a Seth Rogan movie about being a mall security guard. It is nothing like the awful 'Paul Blart' movies, which everyone assumes when I mention it in real life. This movie is more like Death To Smoochie in its dark comedy sensibilities.

I draw a lot of organic things. I think the organic looking lines are just a result. Other people here and else are also seeing neurons and the inside of an eye.

So this is how liberty dies.

I'm getting us over a needed benchmark this week, doing a handoff meeting to somebody, and then coming back in December to jointly work on it with them. At that point all the work should be done and it should be more of giving them a tour of the thing. Everyone knows this is a terrible situation. A lot of things went wrong to get us here.

Edit: Having a coffee right now after fixing an automation thing from another company which attaches to our robot. The guy that company sent was "I dunno what's wrong with it." I just want to sit next to my cat, paint minis, and watch Stargate.

Big stuff straight into the trash. Little stuff into the sink strainer. It all settles to the middle of the strainer. Pick up the strainer and dump it into the trash.

When I was growing up, these seemed to be ubiquitous and I never liked them. They seemed overcomplicated for the purpose, and created a gross and smelly area under the sink that needed more cleaning.

I haven't had one in years, as a simple sink mesh does the same job. But I don't really know how other people are. Are under sink garbage disposals still common, and commonly actually used by people here?

Dang. I wasn't looking to make a period accurate clone or anything, but I wanted grip to try out for some builds with limited space. I suppose I can get something close enough designed and printed.

 

I never picked up a Griplight when they were common, and nowadays they are hard to find and priced to match the rarity.

I'd like something with the same form factor. I don't mind if I have to provide my own switch for the light, so long as I can easily install the light in a similar layout. I'm not looking for one of those hideous aliexpress grips with a super cheap flashlight that sits on top of the grip. The light being forward of the grip is a big draw. I'm hoping some company makes a clone or design inspired by the Griplight out there.

 
 

Due to a surprising turn of events, I now have a heavy amount of pewter scouts.

I have enough scouts already for my classic marine army, so no need for me to paint them up for that. I'm thinking of using these scouts to do something interesting. Maybe convert some of them into a Necromunda gang? I don't know. I want to really do something neat with these minis.
