I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointed model bikes aren't more of a thing so I can try out my horrible paintscheme ideas without breaking the bank. (there are some but only super well known models and vintage stuff) Time to get going on a plus size homebrew 3d scanner so I can get my zzr printed out at 1:12 scale

The bike's awesome. I loved the dumb ork rules in 2nd and early 3rd edition 40k.  For all its dumb simplicity I enjoy the Warhammer lore and I enjoyed playing it in my teens, but the last 15 years or so has just been a complete farce with bad and overpriced models, garbage rules blatantly written to promote new models, and pants on head retarded management that I fully expect will lead to GW getting sold or liquidated before the end of this decade.

Yeah, I've been fed up with GW for a long time now. I was never a huge player of their games, but I liked their miniatures. But some time ago they moved to CAD designs with an aggressive amount of tiny 0.01mm bullshit detail work, instead of hand-sculpted designs, I think they lost a lot of their charm in the process. And then there's the whole finecast debacle. These days, I much prefer to buy from companies like Reaper Miniatures, who still have a whole bunch of old-school hand-sculpted designs available, that may not have the ultrafine detail of GW's newer stuff, but they more than make up for it with quirky charm.

My kids are always talking to me about Undertale and Homestuck. Sometimes I play D&D with them over summer break. In my day, though, nerds watched Star Trek and Quantum Leap. They have no idea who Lt. Cdr. Data is.

8-hour Star Wars Saga Edition session on Sunday. Thousands of hours spent playing videogames. Band geek in HS. But I mean I wrench on and race cars, own a bike, and own/shoot a few neat guns so I guess it balances out?

I replaced my starter clutch about two months ago. While I had everything apart, I figured I'd get an oil filter relocation kit, on the V-star classics you have to pull the exhaust pipe and remove the foot pedal to reach it, the kit adds a spin on filter to the front of the frame. After all the major and minor repairs, I have a small oil leak I need to chase down. It's nothing major, but it's stopping me from taking full-day rides on the weekend. I haven't gotten to it yet because I needed to get master on all the set dungeons in Diablo III, so I can have 100% on all the challenges in the game. (Not to mention starting my DE army.) I'm a good nerd and bad biker right now. But hey! Got the last dungeon done this morning, gonna be in the bike shop all day Friday!
