I don't put much on this blog anymore. After having a nostalgic jaunt through some of my old posts I thought I'd give a quick update on what I'm doing these days.
The main realisation I have had recently is that I really don't play PC games anymore and I barely play any games on console either. The only times I play on the console is if I'm playing with my partner. The weird thing is, I still instinctively fire up Steam every time I turn on my PC and get drawn into looking at games and what offers are on. It's very strange and I should probably bite the bullet and just uninstall Steam, but I know I'll want to play games if I was to delete them all completely. Brains are weird.
I finished painting my Sharp Practice French force earlier this year and I'm chuffed to bits with them! Although, there are now some cuirassiers waiting for some paint to join them, but I'm trying not to think about them too much. Since finishing my French I've been wading through some peninsula British, as I said I would, and I'm coming to the end of a whole box of Perry's red coats, which I have painted as Connaught Rangers. I like to think you can see an improvement in my painting. I really dislike plastic kits where the arms are separate, give me one piece models all day!!
Through the lockdowns I have been trying to scratch the tabletop gaming itch through Table Top Simulator on PC (through Steam actually... heh). It's ok and I have enjoyed some of it, but I think the people I play against get more out of it than I do. I find it a bit stagnant and frustrating. It lacks all the tactile joy of handling models and I swear digital dice hate me even more than the real things.
As an aside I've started learning how to be an Accountant, which is riveting. I quite like the distance learning thing though.
Happy New Year.
