A photo of a white femme-ish non-binary person with dyed black hair and wearing all black clothing, in the middle of playing a bass guitar.

First bass lesson with the seventeen year-old!

A photo of our TV showing the end a game of Guitar Hero, with the song being Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

The seventeen year-old is staying over for the weekend again, and we played another good three hours of Guitar Hero! This time we did Warriors of Rock and I'd forgotten that they'd added the ability to import a bunch of songs from the other Guitar Hero games into it, so we had quite a variety. They were very excited to see Queen, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi in the choices, and we played some Stevie Wonder and Creedence Clearwater Revival and they added those songs to their "To listen to" list. 😁

A photo of our TV showing the very start of a game of Guitar Hero, with the two scrolling tracks side-by-side. The song is Whiplash by Metallica.

Just spent the last three hours playing Guitar Hero: Metallica with the seventeen year-old. 🤘🏻 They're big into Metallica and Megadeth and all the old-school bands like that (and they're currently wearing a Rob Zombie t-shirt) so it was extra fun. I started out on easy difficulty and was doing very well, so moved up to medium where you add in the fourth button on your fretting hand. Unfortunately I realised that all my bass guitar practice had made that very difficult because when I'm using my pinky finger together with my index finger on an actual bass, you really have to stretch out the pinky to reach the correct fret, and I kept duly doing that and ending up on the orange button instead of blue. 😛 I gave it a red hot go and then bumped it back to easy again at the end of our session, haha. I had also entirely forgotten just how noisy the old consoles were, the Xbox Series X and its utter silence has completely spoilt me!

A photo taken above our dining table of the Pictionary board and @yayKM in the middle of drawing something. The board itself is long and thin with an almost snake-like pattern on it, divided into squares.

The sixteen year-old is over for a weekend visit and we played a couple of excellent (and slightly modified to account for the fact that there were only three of us) games of Pictionary tonight. 👍🏻

A photo of a white non-binary person with black hair and white headphones on, holding a paintbrush and intently looking at the miniature they're painting. They're sitting at my painting table which has a wooden arch with LED strip lighting in the middle, and two levels of storage for my many many paint pots.

And now they asked if they could paint a miniature! I have a ton of primed-but-not-painted miniatures overall but not really that many _spare_ ones as such, but they decided they liked the look of the Tyranid Warriors. I only have three which is exactly what I need for a fireteam in Kill Team, but realistically I’m not going to get around to painting them any time soon, so eh, it's for a good cause.

A selfie of me, a white man with a red beard and short hair, poking in from the side of frame, and Lily, a white girl with short and curly dyed-red hair and a look of mild disgust on her face.

We're finally seeing Lily for the first time in four and a half months! Unsurprisingly for a fourteen year-old, she wasn't particularly interested in having a nice photo taken, so we got this instead. 😅

A photo of a white girl with short scruffy hair leaning over a table holding a paintbrush and very intensely concentrating on her painting.

Lily is painting one of the multitude of Skaven from the old Warhammer core set I got as a birthday present MANY years ago and never actually played! (I haven't even taken most of the High Elves off the sprues).
