27th of Owltober! A burrito-wrapped Burrowing Owl was admitted to a wildlife clinic to treat eye ulcers from suspected head trauma. The sender (anonymous) said "his favorite meal in care is mice and mealworms and he is very vocal now that he’s feeling better!" #owlsintowels 💛🦉

Don’t mind me, just making a 6mm LEGO Blacktron army. Why? Because I can. For what system? I’ll figure that out later.

Very technically I, a trans woman, have been beaten by a man competing in women's sports and I have to ask what even is my life?

The one time I won against a cis woman was because she hadn't started training for the season but in turn I was beaten by a trans man competing in the elite female category because he hadn't started HRT yet and ALSO hadn't started training for the season. That was a weird one.

Re: last RP. I had that magazine. Somehow, my family got signed up for the CompuServ magazine, despite the service not being available in Newfoundland AFAIK. Was interesting to read about a computer network years before getting my first email. Literal case of it seems cooler on paper than IRL.

Has anybody been organizing to make deceptive design patterns, ie dark patterns, illegal? Samsung is now deploying full screen "Start Using Gemini" popups and hiding the "fuck right off you ghouls" button.

Spectated a couple games of Warhammer 40,000 this weekend while I was at Camelot Hobby. One was Titans vs Ultramarines, and the big titan with the turrets on top got taken out by the biggest swarm of terminators with thunder hammers I've ever seen. Round one before it even moved.

In the second game, it was Ultramarines vs Death Korps. That time the Ultramarine librarian made a really really bad roll and his head asplode, again before he could even do anything cool. Though I guess blowing up your own head with warp energy is cool from a certain point of view.

Most of the space marines I've seen in the past two weeks have been Ultramarines. My opponent on Saturday was also using Ultramarines. Are they this popular all over?

I'm sorry, but there are people who don't acknowledge that Trazyn the Infinite is the sexiest character in Warhammer? I do not know these people, and do not presume that they speak for me.

I would say the new Toxic Avenger movie, but Kevin Bacon is the real monster in that one. "I'm not a pervert, I just need to piss on my face!"

Hey, kids. Gather round. Aunty Marcie has a story for you! Once upon a time, in an era known as the 1960s, we, as a society, covered our bathrooms with carpets. No one knows why. Toilet tanks, toilet seats, every inch of the floor including a cutout for the toilet base. What germs? 🦠 #VintageAds

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Something that's really funny about Tim Sweeney's crusade against AI disclosures on Steam is that he has proven himself to be uniquely inept at running a pc games store Like why would Valve care what he thinks about their business when he took a swing for them and missed completely

Played my first PvP game of modern Kill Team today, Mantis Warriors vs Ultramarines in an Angels of Death mirror match. Practicing with solo play helped a lot because hoo boy this game is one special rule after another.

Because this was my first time playing, I focused less on the objectives and more on being as much of a chaos goblin as possible. On the last die roll of the game, I took out the Ultramarine captain, securing a TPK and a win for the Mantis Warriors. It was thrilling and tense throughout.

My opinion of the Thunder Hammer has improved slightly- it acts as a very nice melee deterrent even if you have no intention of charging into combat. The true stars of the game were the Eliminator snipers and the most OP equipment choice, the ladders.

It wasn't exactly a mirror since all my guys were from KT2017, so no assault intercessors, heavy intercessor, or captain. I will rectify this for next time. But it worked out for me anyhow.

Squad of Mantis Warriors about to embark on a PvE solo mission so I can get more familiar with the rules before facing a human opponent tomorrow. Can Sgt Eurypterix redeem himself? #nerdlings #findFolkFriday
