This is the way. One additional step I do for enterprise software is test driven development. That way when you refactor your code into something better, you still have tests in place to verify that the code actually works.

Shadowverse: evolve is pretty fun though no one plays it and good luck finding cards.

Oh, ive been wanting to jam this sooo bad.

Ya several of the Forged in the Dark games change the way these mechanics work. They’re great fun still.

Combat felt a bit clunky until we starred treating it more as roleplay and less as “DND combat.” Overall, the mechanics encouraged interparty role play which was sooo much fun. I’d highly recommend it

Ive run a few gumshoe games. They are great, but did require a lot of planning on my part.

We just wrapped up an avatar game. It has some oddities but overall really fun!

Neat, I’ll have to look into Beam Saber as well!

I haven’t played it yet but Girl by Moonlight is a forged in the dark game that has a space-mecha setting. Could be worth checking out.

Blades is excellent. Would highly recommend.

Started the year off GMing the Gumshoe Yellow King RPG. It definitely takes more prep than other games I’m used to but is thematic and a great horror experience.

Our group then switched to the Avatar RPG, which has been an absolute blast. I’ve been playing a firebender in the Aang era. We’re currently on our second season.

In between the Avatar game when scheduling falls through I’ve been GMing Blades in the Dark, which has been one of the most rewarding and exciting games I’ve played.

Our group mostly plays weekly and we’ve been together for 6ish years mostly playing D&D.

My parents would always buy my an ornament related to my interests for Christmas. I was really into LoTR and my mom couldn’t find an ornament so she decided to make one herself. She purchased a metal Nazgul on horse from GW. I was enthralled by the miniature, and my wargaming hobby was started.

No diagnosis for it, but who knows 🤷

Age of Empires 2 on my parent’s crappy old laptop.

As someone who is not autistic and seeing posts like these on the main page several times, I would be stoked for someone to bring topics like this up in conversation instead of the normal boring small talk.

My friends and I have been jamming 4p co-op and have been having a blast. There are definitely some bugs we’ve encountered around having multiple conversations going at once but nothing major. I highly recommend it.

Thanks! Fun read

Shoot I forgot about doombull brown and rhinox hide in my list. They’re great workhorses.

Ice yellow is also great! I’ll have to try out your other recs

Vallejo Scurvy Green - an amazing color that can be used to add depth to just about anything.

AK Light Flesh - a great off white to mix into other paints for highlighting

Vallejo Metal color Silver - the best metallic paint than can be covered with inks or contrast to creat any metal color.

Contrast Blood Angels Red - a way to bring the red richness back with glazing

Vallejo Game Color Lustful purple – a interesting base shade for whites. Highlight up with Light Flesh for an interesting white.

Thanks so much. It was definitely a learning process through it all. I used stippling for the flat red armor panels.
