Obsessed with Pentiment

I have had Pentiment in my backlog of games to play for years now, and FINALLY got around to playing it. And it is like it was specifically hand-crafted for me, I am obsessed with it. I am obsessed with the player character Andreas Maler. I am obsessed with everything about it.

The visuals and story are so thoughtful and symbolic and moving, and it has completely rewired my brain.

I am obsessed with the modifier “You gave an annoying opinion on Pliny’s Natural History, -1”

In my mania I decided I want to try and make an Andreas Maler outfit. I decided to go with middle-aged Andreas, as I am myself middle-aged.

I briefly considered doing a young Andreas outfit, but mostly I just didn’t want to shave.

More Unnecessary Plastic Elves

I spent the weekend with an old friend that was in town, and since he also likes Warhammer we went to Gamescape. Unfortunately for me, they had the new Lady Malys model in stock. So I bought more overpriced plastic elves that I don’t need. Alas.

At least it gave me the motivation to get back to painting my Harlequins. After a brief break. I confess, I do not like painting in sub-assembly, because it feels like the progress is imperceptible until the very end when suddenly it is completely finished. And that is demoralizing. When I painted my Kabalites, it was more fun, because I could instantly see the complete vision and how it was all working together and how they would turn out. Every new color made them look more complete.

But I don’t know how I would ever manage to paint Harlequins fully assembled. And I’ve heard similar things for Lady Malys.
