MS just put time limits on their ‘cloud services’.

“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” – gets more true every day. That’s why I won’t buy video games that don’t offer me a) a physical copy or b) a DRM free download. Subscription models for software, video and games are a trap.

Bauhaus Hussars for Warzone Eternal.

Enshitification of services continues : MS just put time limits on their ‘cloud services’.
I guess they noticed that too few people were buying games, because why pay for a disc when you can complete the game in a month or less ?
Even if you pay the maximum you only get 15 hours every month … (10 hours for the ‘standard’ and 5 hours for the…[Read more]

@sundancer I never could used to bifocals; I have a pair of “computer range” glasses, but for painting it’s no glasses. A real pain, thinking of getting loupes for my glasses this year.

I’ve not hit any problems yet (I’m 41) but they’ll kick in soon

I hate to say it but that’s the age when age related short sightedness starts popping up. If you can, get your eyes checked and see if you can make yourself comfortable with bifocal lenses. The earlier you train your eyes to have a “reading section” in your glasses the easier it is. T…[Read more]

That’s not normal. Buy some more damn models.

I have some models that, if I  am honest with myself, I  never intend to paint. They just came with something I really liked or turned out not to be what I envisaged. I should get rid if those. And if I  reduced the pile noticeably I wo…[Read more]

I’m now completely out of models!

@danlee What does that even mean?!?  I obviously understand the intended meaning in English of those words in that order, but…?!?  You can’t actually be out of models!

I’ve been in this hobby for as long as I can remember and I don’t think I’ve ever actually run out of miniatures to paint.  Well done you thou…[Read more]

‘Guns Akimbo’ was a surprisingly fun movie with that Harry Potter dude.

And the new ‘Masters of the Universe’ was kind of fun too, although they could have added a lot more cheese to it if they had wanted to.

This week’s pledge is to do some shopping. I’m now completely out of models!

Thanks @zoidpinhead. I particularly liked the outcome with the cyclops too.

• We’re all getting older and our bodies decay. Aside from bad eyesight and hearing what is you body not letting you do any more that you loved to do in regards to the hobby? – I’ve not h…

Those GW mags. If its the ones with a mini you often have to buy two issues to get a single model so if you are not subscribed you run the risk of only getting half a model

No, they where actually good value for money. One week three minis, next week two paints and a brush, then three mins from a different faction, terrain. They where made by…[Read more]

Is that a Micro$oft advertisement ?

As for White Dwarf I buy it once a year as a stocking filler and yes I get a secret read but its close to the price of a Black Library…[Read more]
