I think I'd like to post more about my hobbies and gaming. And I'm starting with something positive.
About six months ago I went to a nearby gaming club. I didn't know what to expect, and I feared that it would be full of the kind of gamers that I don't enjoy being around.
I was so wrong.
Dec 17, 2025 21:36The people there were kind and welcoming, and I've been going regularly since. My son has also started to go and also loves it.
And it's driven a real change in my hobbying.
I used to flit about from project to project. And I still get a bit bored and want to do something new and shiny. But several of us started playing Horus Heresy when the 3rd edition came out, and I committed to collecting a Mechanicum army. And for the last four months that's what I've been doing.
I've made real, solid progress towards collecting and painting a coherent army. I've got a way to go, still, but knowing that I'd be playing with it every few weeks has kept me interested in a way that I've not experienced before.
So the club hasn't just been a huge positive in terms of meeting great people and having fun playing games with them, it's helped me with the hobby side as well, by giving me that extra focus.
