Idk, the news here in Canada is still 100% about the queen (dead), whether or not that reflects what normies care about is unclear, but there is a public "book of condolences" that has like 50,000 messages

the general impression i've gotten over the years has been that most canadians are ambivalent over the monarchy, in the sense that they're a celebrity family paid for by someone else's taxes and inherited land and thus not worth much consideration beyond them having two photogenic couples that show up in the press from time to time

i don't think many people aside from diehard royalists/republicans actually give a poo poo about, or are even broadly aware of, the ceremonial or institutional relations the monarchy has with canada otherwise

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Playing this Railbound game. I'm on world/map 4. It's so cute and charming and I feel so victorious when I figure out the puzzle.

It doesn't make me feel like I'm the stupidest man alive like Baba is You did (this is not me saying that game is bad)

on Steam, people are using Villain Protagonist for games where you play a cop and games with a fascist as the protagonist because the devs are fascists, which is accurate, but makes it harder to find games where you play someone like Gru, Brain (of "Pinky in the Brain"), or Zim. needs another tag like Sympathetic Villain Protagonist

Don't know how the sequel that was recently released plays. The original is kinda showing its age but is still neat. Base-building/management sim where you build a Bond-villain-style lair on an island and have to keep people from finding out you've built an evil lair in the back of an island resort casino.

Hand painting is significantly more difficult for anything but small touch ups like the eyes or under armor parts that peek through.

yeah part of why ppls general minature painting has improved so much from the days of citadel paints is bcos fo the discovery of dark tech such as spray painting

Hand painting minis and models is still a big thing, airbrushes are just used for different kinds of effects. Still plenty of stuff brushes get used for but for laying down base coats or going for a particular kind of shading effect you'll see sprays/airbrushing

e: I'm told hand painting a mini is not as hard as people think it is and that, so long as you remember the basics, you'll be able to make a decent thing. Basics like "thin your paints."
