Reply To: [unofficial weekender] Yet another Friday

[demonsub 12746xp 3]

Happy Friday. I got my second dose of vaccine today and if the side effects are anything like the last time I’ll have a sore arm and be absolutely buzzing by Sunday. I’m sure they put antidepressants in or something, ha.

My pledge for this weekend is to play more Lord of the Rings Card Game. I’ve been really enjoying the game since getting it last week, it fits a nice niche in my hobby time as I can squeeze in a game between doing other stuff. Also I might have bought a few more supplements.
I’ll also be doing some painting, at the very least a wizard  to go into my warband for Rangers of Shadow Deep, and maybe a Beowulf model to work as a knight or man-at-arms for the same game.

When looking for videos podcasts and blog on topics for the hobby (How to… etc) do you just look at stuff in your native language or in other languages too?

I’m English so I’m a bit spoilt in that sense as almost everything I come across is also in English. There are one or two channels I watch that produce in other languages but then they usually produce an English version as well. I will watch with subtitles if necessary though.

Have you ever tried to play a game that is written in a language you do not speak?

No, never have. Never really had the opportunity.

Looking back 15 months: what was your biggest hobby achievement?

Getting back into painting and keeping at it after more than ten years of not touching a brush. Since the start of 2020 it’s been like a renaissance with me. Not only painting but exploring other games systems and miniatures and watching hobby related online content. Before last year I was playing the occasional 40k game with my one army unpainted and I was somewhat board of the whole thing. I only really played as that’s what we did when I met up with my friends every week.

Im happy you enjoy producing the uHH @sundancer as I really enjoyed watching it.

For me the stand out track from Public Service Broadcasting fantastic album The Race For Space.

and another really good track from the same album
