This definitely causes an impact on my hobby activities – video editing is reduced to my laptop’s capabilities, and 3d printing is a bit more problematic (though still possible thanks to Octoprint). Currently working on some more terrain in preparation for our…

X-Wing reinforcements
With the holidays, I managed to expand my X-Wing collection by a little bit.

Star Wars: X-Wing
Had another chance to play some more X-Wing, or at least host the game (my son and one of our other gamers actually played). The battle was a straightforward 200 vs 200, with Scum vs Empire. On the Empire side, the squadron was Darth Vader and a TIE Advanced, supported by 4 TIE fighters (most…
