It feels good to finally play some board games again  I finally got to try a few games of the Aliens board game (Another Glorious Day in the Corps) with a friend, and put my painted models to use.   Of course, we got overrun because we didn’t work fast enough, and Newt ran away from the marines into the far corner of the board as a xeno hoard was closing in   Ripley had already been lost, tunnels were appearing near our characters, there were more blips on the motion tracker (plus the xenos that we could actually see, pictured above)…it was a gloriously brutal mess. Each alien you see in the pic is on a stack, so there’s at least 2 aliens on every tile (and up to 5). Of course, Newt remained unrescued as the marines got their brain-meat sampled and Bishop got torn apart

Icon Of Sin posted:It feels good to finally play some board games again That's awesome, I miss painting miniatures. In what now feels like a previous life (early 2000's) I used to be a bum who spent way too much time painting Warhammer 40k. I had a ton of paints and brushes and varnishes and miniature bits and bobs. I wasn't particularly interested in the game part of the hobby, but I found painting to be a very zen experience. Did a squad of Blood Angels Terminators and a Dreadnaught that I was particularly proud of, all kitted out with expensive custom bits from Forge World. They ended up being put on display in a glass cabinet at a local toy store together with various bits and bobs from other local 40k nerds. I even had them professionally photographed, though the hard drive on which I had the photos on have now long since returned to dust, and so has the website I had uploaded the photos to. I suspect the toy store is long gone too. I sometimes wonder what happened to them.

I have a gently caress ton of models- everything from WHFB to Terminator Game. Thousands of dollars worth of models sitting in storage waiting for our craft room to be built. I rarely game; even when I did, I wasn't doing it enough to warrant the amount I have. But I like models, I like kit bashing, and I was getting paid in store credit. I also have more Gundam than is reasonable. I don't watch the cartoon, just like robots.

I just adopted a 11 month old puppy named Beatrice. She weighs 92 pounds:   She likes all water except baths, her gentle toys, pigs ears, sticks and other dogs and cats. In that order.

Went hiking yesterday along the blue ridge parkway. The smell of autumn up there, the waterfall’s constant white noise…it did something to my brain. Like how a sore muscle or joint feels a ton better after you stretch it out some.

It's hilarious to me (a huge guy myself) watching a giant animal like the dog from the Sandlot skitter around the room with a bone, or have hilarious trouble with stairs. She is so good on night walks and is learning so fast. I love her!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caIQBp-6OL4 I've made this recipe a handful of times now and can confirm that it yields 100% awesome bolognese. The only tweak I made was that I added like half a teaspoon of Better Than Bullion roast beef base right before I set it to simmer for like 3 hours, just to amp up the beefiness. Radiatori pasta truly is the ultimate meat sauce delivery vehicle.

Beatrice looks awesome. Good for you! I made perogies, cabbage, sassage and onions (using up a few things from my garden now that frost is happening.) Served with dill + lemon sour cream.  I sous vide the sassages & freeze them whole for easy use later. The slow cooking from sous vide means they are practically fall-apart tender, and just need a bit of browning.

I have some old no name one, but recently I've just started using an instant pot on the "ultra" setting, which allows setting an exact temperature as well as everything else (no pressure, etc, just a hot water bath basically). It doesn't circulate the water, but it's sealed and insulated so doesn't seem to need to.

My mother in law has terminal cancer. She elected not to have chemo as she wanted some quality of life before she succumbed, but she was given a fairly new antibody treatment instead. She went for a cat scan 6 weeks ago to see how the disease had spread and to give her some idea of how long she had left and got the results yesterday. It hadn't spread one single iota.

My dad had back surgery yesterday, some sort of steroid injection into his spine. I spoke with him this morning and he reports great improvement already, and the surgeon said it will take three weeks to take full effect so it's only going to get better.

I turned 35 yesterday. We are still in lockdown, so instead of being bummed that I couldn't have a get together with friends and family, I went with the next best thing - told my crew that everyone should bring something to share, I smoked some ribs, someone brought a cake and I got sung happy birthday. It was great.
