Grots are always a useful addition.
What to suggest next really depends on whether you're looking to build a specific force (e.g. green tide) or have fun with whatever takes your fancy.

Now that is rather interesting. I hadn't considered UV damage (mine live in a shelf with a cover that limits exposure - not intentionally, purely because it's a shelf I rescued from my childhood bedroom!).
Fair enough! I hoped there was something more to it. I used to have Bioshock in a steelbook but that was purely because it was what a game shop near me had available. I also don't get the appeal of hardback books so it's probably just me being weird.
As helpful as that is, I'm interested in collecting films on UHD. I just don't get the steelbook angle. If the answer is just a Marge Simpson "I just think they're neat" then fair enough. I was just hoping there was something more to it. Perhaps it has an interesting origin story or it's in reference to some historic packaging for a different format that didn't particularly take off.
I've never really understood the whole "steelbook" thing. I want the disc. For all I care it could come in a cardboard CD case.
It'd be good if we could get something a bit more left than MOAR NEOLIBERALISM. I'm so done with neoliberal capitalism but it seems that large chunks of the populace still think it's the damn '80s and greed is good.
A party that could seriously offer a decent future could do well. Redistribute some wealth and let's get this shit going. You know what happens when more money goes to the bottom of the pyramid? It goes straight back into the economy.
I don't really get what the point of gargling billionaire balls is. Ruling over ashes doesn't seem like it'd be particularly fun and being able to be bought off with shiny things is frankly embarrassing.
An image macro is a subset of meme, not the superset.
"an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme" (from the Wikipedia article) seems to be a perfect fit for what's going on in this post.
I don't spoil my dog but I do consider expenses associated with him to be mental health costs.
Is it that time again? Apple considers getting into gaming?

I painted these mostly with speed paints (and the equivalents from other companies). They came together quite quickly and I had fun with them, which is rather the goal of hobbies, isn't it?
The dice makes me think of the bit in The Dark Tower film where there's a theme park that the residents of that world are perplexed by. Why's there a dice? No one knows - it's always been there. It's Dirty Down rust, if you were wondering: https://dirtydown.co.uk/product/water-soluble-paint-rust-25ml-pot/
I bought a static grass applicator and had fun making my own tufts and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Unlimited tufts!
There's also the boxes - they're not as good as I'd like (the knees get in the way of painting!) but it's a bit of an homage to how GW boxes looked when I first got into the hobby.
I sculpted this lad but for now he's not available (he should be available at the Tenby Games Festival in December, in the unlikely event you're in west Wales! https://www.pembrokeshirewargaming.co.uk/ ) and then eventually he'll be up on Ramshackle Games' shop under my brand (Fox Box).
I didn't mean to time this one for Orktober, but maybe it's just a happy little accident. He's an obscure Forge World mini from 2007 or so. I've recently been watching Masters of the Air and it made me want to dig him out of my backlog. No idea what I might field him as, but he's a fun sculpt.
There's a couple of more photos here: https://imgur.com/a/cmmgacE
There's a press release about the mini here, if you want to know more: https://ifelix.net/forgeworld-newsletter-171
This crew of Ork-wannabes are my Diggamob. They currently don't have names, apart from the test model - Zagatha (back left). I mostly don't like the old Digga range, but there's a few exceptions, so I went with those.
I've no idea when I'll get around to fielding them in Gorkamorka, but hopefully at some point. I deliberately opted for no heavy weapons on the vehicles to field more bodies. Diggas have access to archeotek and can get some very fancy bits of kit - but to find them and wield them effectively numbers are required.
These are a combination of GW's original minis from 1998 and Red Nebular's Primal Raider range: https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Red%20Nebular
I mainly painted them using contrast/speed paints, but I didn't have the requisite paints when I did the test model, so the skin ended up being done the traditional way. I regret it, but it was too late to do anything about. I'm not overly fond of how they turned out, but hey, done is the best feature.
There's a few more pics here: https://imgur.com/a/07Mzj17
Also, just to pre-empt it, no, the faction aren't called "digganobs". They're called "diggas", you memelords.

I loathe Windows, love Linux, but Macbooks are my machine of choice for laptops. My last one lasted over a decade of abuse and travelled all over the world with me. Perhaps another manufacturer does as good a job on their portables but I've yet to find one. I have a ThinkPad for work and by comparison it feels clunky as all hell on every level.
