I've been picking up a lot of #Politics forward followers of late. I might disappoint you all as the majority of my posts focus on #MiniaturePainting, #TTRPGs, & #DailyLife with #AuDHD. There's a few political hot takes scattered amidst it all, but it's not the main focus. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
My next door neighbors keep their house hermetically sealed, running their AC/heat 24/7/365. The sound of the compressor is at the right tone to trigger my tinnitus. Thus, I have to keep my office window closed even when it's nice out & I want fresh air. #Grumpy #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

This is the first time I've ever wired my own LEDs. I'm pretty proud of how my Data Skull is turning out. He has now taken the crown for the most complicated thing I've ever made; between #3DPrinting, wiring electronics, painting, and assembly. #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Ordered a KTAG & IPASS. They cover the toll systems of 23 states & will save me toll $$. I picked them as neither state charges for the tag & will ship to Utah. My upper windshield may end up covered in toll passes. States need to set up one system, damnit. LOL! #RoadTrip #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

All of the Data Skull parts from #3DPrinting. I've started filling and sanding where needed. More rounds of that followed by painting. I still need to get the electronic parts for me to build the lighting. Dumb speaker only, no abominable intelligences here. #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. Great little video about why the #TTRPG community resists Hasbro's attempts to capitalize on #DnD, yet successfully does it themselves. Hint... it's about one of the above words... community. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Even more parts printed with rough fitting. Once everything is printed, I will have the 'fun' of sanding, priming, and painting. This will be a multi-week project. #3DPrinting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I've been #3DPinting a lot of utility & organization stuff or for other people since I got the printer. I decided to print something other than a bookshelf tentacle just for funzies. He's a long ass print. It'll be a bit for the finished/painted product. #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I got together at a friend's game store with a couple guys from my high school gaming group and played #Battletech today. It was a fun blast from the past. I was the second to last man standing in a four way. The guys also sent me home with more mechs. #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. Looks like I have a nice holiday weekend planned. Tomorrow I'm meeting up with one of my oldest friends to play #Battletech. Since we're brown bagging, I'm trying a new vegan Chinese place for take out. On Sunday, I'm taking myself out to the movies. #Akira #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Random thoughts: TCGs & blind boxes act on the same pleasure seeking part of the brain that gambling does. Neurospicy folks are especially susceptible. It's predatory & abusive. This whole corporate part of fandom pisses me off. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. #EatTheRich #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Today was past me getting Kickstarter gifts for present me. This was backed almost 3 yrs ago. I still haven't gotten the book from a 4 yr old one. I'm sure it's a loss, as the creator has fucked off to the UK. Only two losses out of the dozens I've backed are ok odds. #Dune #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I forgot to post this from last week. #MiniaturePainting generates a lot of teeny bits of desk trash and I'm super prone to dropping things. After getting sick of fishing my minis and parts of minis out of the large wastebasket; here's a teeny desk trash can. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Ever since mechanical #keyboards hit, I've loved them. This is my first custom one w/ a metal case & my own pick of switches/keycaps. It feels & sounds so much nicer. The numpad for work will be here tomorrow. I've got matching keycaps for it. No more fashion brands for me. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Any out of the house plans I had have been canceled by rolling thunderstorms. I guess I'll be building #Warhammer40K minis & my first custom #keyboard (when the parts get here), while listening to documentaries. Might also #3DPrint wall hooks to hang the old keyboard from. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. I've been thinking about replacing my old Razer keyboard for months. Irritation with it sent me down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole for the past couple weeks. The parts are on the way for me to build a custom keyboard. Due to catching good sales, (cont.) #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. Got a couple keys on my Razer keyboard that are sticking. Cleaning hasn't done anything. I think the switches are starting to go bad. It's old enough to require soldering to replace just one key instead of being hot swapped like the new ones. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

After I finished the Gridfinity in my craft cart and craft drawers, I decided to get all the memory cards, loose paints, spray cans, and #Perler supplies off my shelves, desks, copier/printer, and floor. #3DPrinting is helping me organize. #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I had a great weekend. Played #CastlesAndCrusades Friday, went out for dinner with a friend Saturday, & went up to Brighton ski resort today with a couple friends for a flea market & the Silver Lake Boardwalk hike. Got some chores & #3DPrinting done in between. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

The old Aeron chair that has been with me since my hotel tech support days has finally decided that it must always sink to the bottom. Luckily, they sent a second one home with me. Sinky chair shall now live out it's life as spare parts for non-sinky chair. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
