In terms of hobbies I haven't adopted anything new but I have been trying to get back into building/kitbashing/painting Warhammer 40,000 models.Yes! Take servants of the Four-armed Emperor into your fold! We're dying to introduce your brainwashed puppets to our glorious creed!
My latest projects are a kitbashed Scylla tank, and painting up a Genestealer medic and some Chaos Disciples, all of which I'm converting to a loyalists.

With Dood Leordie,would there need to be a whole new thread? The extant thread's last post was on August 2016; to necro or not?
And Gwenno, you have no idea how honored I am that you deigned to put my humble little thread in your post alongside such long-runners as the bad jokes thread or the recipe swap thread. I promise to try to come up with some new riddles in the upcoming days!I'm not sure if the riddle thread was specifically made to cheer people up as we deal with a pandemic, but it certainly seems to have done so! Definitely deserves its place besides the others in my books, and I'd love to see yourself and other Minnions contributing to it :D

...... Not sure if heresy....
But I can practise the harp and pennywhistle alone at home, sing for husband and myself, maybe coax him back into playing his dulcimer - he stopped while so occupied with illness.
Star used to play quite well. He hasn’t practised in years, but now he is spending more time at home and less in hospital he hopes to join in more.
Role-playing games have hit an hiatus, with the group mainly of older members, and one of them in a higher-risk category if infected; and LARP is right out! Not that I really play any longer, but I miss the team.
1: Yes, Orangutans aren't monkeys. Ook.Given their usual ways of locomotion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachiation), I wouldn't be surprised if orangutans would love to monkey around in zero-g.
2: It's not even an Orangutan, it's a Jokaero which - I assure you - is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
3: I like saying "fabulous space monkey"
Social isolation has motivated me to start painting my massive backlog of Warhammer 40,000 models. Here's the first one I've completed in several years - a fabulous space monkey!Nice Jokaero!

It is indeed fabulous! Is it a cyborg or are those it’s natural hands?I also like saying “fabulous space monkey” but I don’t dare to! It’s your ape so that counts for something, who knows what it might do to me if I did

Well, until muscle atrophy sets in, of course.
Nice Jokaero!
I finished five of my Necrons yesterday, but I don't have any good pics at the moment. I'll post some when I'm done with all ten of them (should be around the next weekend, maybe sooner).
Meanwhile, butter good to all, and stay safe!
I look forward to seeing your soulless xenos abominations!Here ya go. Decided to put everything in a spoiler because there is a bit of story going on with these pictures and I don't want to clutter the thread with huge posts. If it bothers you, sorry for that. Also, sorry for the quality, my phone camera kinda sucks and my hands don't help with their constant shaking.

Very nice! I particularly like the green effect on the Praetorian's staff. Are they intended as a Kill Team?Yup, they're all Kill Team. I kinda lost interest in the "big" 40k when the 8th edition hit. I have some...strong opinions regarding the ruleset. Necrons are my third Kill Team, after the Genestealer Cults and the Tyranids. I might post some pics of those once I get them back since they're currently stored somewhere else.
My latest model is this 1990s metal Necromunda ganger with Imperial Guard arms. I painted him rather dark and as a result he's almost impossible to get a decent picture of...

I am thinking about (when GW starts selling again) kitbashing a Taurox and a shipping container to make a 40k Cat Tank!

I'm not sure if this is an option for you or not, but there are quite a few ways of adapting an RPG to an online setting. There was an article on DnDbeyond recently which covered many of the most important points. It speaks about Dungeons and Dragons specifically, but many of the tips can be adapted to other RPG formats.

I've been playing DnD online with my friends for around 2 years now (and did Ryuutama for a few months online as well), so we've figured out quite a few of the kinks already. If you'd like, I'd be happy to talk about what works for us and help you figure out a way for you to continue playing with your group :)
In memory of Tim Brooke-Taylor, I've been binge-listening to the classic radio-show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, in which he was a regular panel member.
Honestly, I haven't laughed so much in ages.

I think every Australian of my generation was hit hard by his loss. Coming home after school to watch The Goodies was just part of being a kid in the late 80s/ early 90s - even when you knew every episode by heart (*starts singing String*)
My mother later told me that while I was rolling about on the floor clutching my sides laughing, my poor friend was sitting there looking utterly bewildered.
You might have had a lucky escape there! The Goodies is responsible for the one of the few medically confirmed cases of someone laughing themselves to death (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Kapers#Viewer_death) :o
Now there is a phrase I haven’t heard in awhile - ‘le cafard’.
Also, my hair also needed cutting before the lockdownSame here, which means that the tips are starting to get into my face and "inside" my glasses now (which tends to give me a headache). Luckily, I have a beard trimmer and know from my (sparse) hairdresser experiences that an all-around 12mm machine trim looks somewhat OK-ish on me. So, I'll wait just a bit longer and see how it goes with the announced reopening of hairdressers' "with extra precautions" in early May ...

The other other option is, of course, to grab the bunch of rubber bands from the kitchen and go for an actual coronavirus hairstyle ... :

I suppose there is still the Onni school of haircuts. Onnenlintu, in one of his delightful long stories, has a chapter with Emil giving Lalli a haircut, and asks Lalli who normally cuts his hair. Lalli replies that Onni does, and Emil remarks that Onni’s own hair looks as though he cuts it with a fishing knife and no mirror, leaving Lalli wondering how Emil came to that very accurate answer. I laughed so hard at that....
Sounds like one of the musician cousins (who is sorely missed). Tall, skinny Islesman wearing old ratty jumpers, sandals and fraying corduroys, or his kilt for high formal occasions, red beard long enough to put in several braids if he was being fancy, cloud of fine thin red hair [...] ‘Scruffy genius’ seems to be a type.
For all those people who try to pass on a footpath that's constricted to maybe a metre around a construction site (and we have many in downtown Auckland), I am considering asking a friend if I can borrow his extra ski poles.(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/208x117/p087tpyq.jpg)

JoB, time to experiment another browser? (which do you use, BTW? I use Opera and I'm quite happy with it, but I also have Firefox, that I seldom use)Hm. No dice under OpenSuSE (FF, Chromium, Opera), yes dice with FF on a fresh Fedora ...
