Heres an update on my activity on the web. I havent been very active as Ive focused more on other stuff.

Ive started biking more, which is great. It means I do some sport, but more importantly, it means I have a reliable mean of transportation. I hope I can continue avoiding getting a driving license. Im not convinced personal motorized means of transportation will remain for very long, so I prefer to be prepared to live without them. Biking is slower, but I can ride 100km a day without issue, which means it would take just two weeks top from any two points in France. Of course, two weeks is a worst case scenario. I could go see most of my friends or family in less than a week.

And I continue painting miniatures, which is nice. I feel like Im improving. However, Ive already purchased too many miniatures this year. I wont buy any new ones, with some exceptions : if I find a cheap "Battle for the Skull Pass" box secondhand, the future Legions Imperialis box, and if something catches my eyes at the local gaming convention. Then next year, I wont buy anything until Ive painted some more, and then I would only get single miniatures.

Tilde Town

I havent done a lot around here. I was mostly away, but Im coming back.

Minis

  • Ive continued reading through the Horus Heresy series. Ive written about Battle for the Abyss as well as read Mechanicum, though I wont publish a review for it.
  • Ive played my first solo game of Space Weirdos, Patrol on Kabenarah. It was quite fun, and Ill continue this solo campaign !
  • Ive finished painting the Penitents of Rausch. Im very happy about my paint job there !

Computer stuff

  • Ive done some more work on the selfhost wiki, notably finishing the instructions for running a Valheim server.
  • Ive installed Calibre Web on my NAS. It was quite easy to do, although its weird it requires creating a metadata file beforehand, and I had messed up the permissions. Now Ill be looking for an e-reader as mine broke a couple years ago.
