What's on your mind?

Queues to enter a webstore just seems ludicrous.
This day in age of fully and instantly scalable cloud applications and Im told I have to wait 2 minutes to browse a website for plastic army mens. The whole market shift to push online sales yet the tech stack doesn't support the marketing strategy.
Does anyone else think this is stupid.

I'm guessing it was the work experience placement kid.

C’mon guys, they spend a lot of money upgrading the 486 server to a Pentium II, it can’t handle everyone!!

Those retro parts aren’t cheap these days.

Someone told me yesterday on Bolter & Chainsword that it is possible for Warhammer stores (formerly branded GW stores) to order products from Forge World. So I thought great and looked if those Iron Hands 30K heads were still around. Surprise: There was a waiting time of 5min. as I was in some sort of queue?! This was just a bad experience to just browse what the have in store.

This thing looks like it was made for Necromunda… very tank like, almost a prototype Rhino mixed with IG aesthetics. Imagine it trundling through the Ash Wastes, towing some trailer or being used in some other fashion.

Shame it’s a resin kit. Though at £75 it’s a bloody sight cheaper than actual Necromunda resin kits!!

It’s an Aurox if you don’t know.

I see reports that Bryan Ansell has died.

 

[MusingWarboss]

Yeah, I was forwarded an Instagram post from Diane saying he’d passed earlier today.

Very sad, just on the cusp of the New Year too.

They were moving to a new home a while back, not sure if they’ve fully moved or not yet.

While discussing our goals for the new year, my wife shared her desire to convert our little brick outbuilding into a useable summer living space&activity/exercise room. It became apparent this was linked to a desire to banish many a nerding item from the house proper. Not sure how I feel should I be offended or grateful for the offer of my own man cave?

Is it climate controlled and powered?

 

[daveh]

what is this exercise thing of which you speak?

 

[Punktaku]

You know, paint brush swirls, jar lid twists, soda lifts. That sort of thing.

 

[MedMos]

Brush on, brush off? Hai, Daniel-san.

 

[Punktaku]

And squeeze and snip, squeeze and snip. Dab. Dab. Press and hold. Press and hold.

It currently has water and power, but needs a new roof but she's proposing insulation, shower& Toilet. Reckon a small logburner might suffice for colder months. Can't make it too cosy or I might not get to keep it to myself...
