What a good weekend it's been.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Now that I'm on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, I gotta say that I'm impressed by the level of consistency across the games. They're all hovering between 7/10-9/10 to me, and that's quite a feat over twenty years. #yakuza #likeadragon

The end of Like A Dragon Gaiden was a pretty good gut punch. On to Infinite Wealth. #Yakuza #LikeaDragon

Katie Sachoff is based.

I knew this shit was coming. I saw a mini painter with an AI profile pic and all I could think of is "man, they'd hate if someone stole their stuff for AI mini painting." Here it is. What a waste of electricity and effort. Just paint, you losers.

Me trying to comprehend how my last few mini painting posts have so many more views than normal. What the heck happened.

Finished some Krieg Veteran Guardsmen for a friend to use in Killteam and (more importantly) Necromunda. Credit to ph3lansminiatures for the incredible high-contrast paint scheme. #Warhammer40k #Necromunda #Krieg #Killteam #Miniaturepainting #GamesWorkshop

My holiday sale ends tomorrow! You still have time to get in there and snag some goodies before it does though! www.artbyqbii.com/shop

Kiryu is against AI!

Given everything else that's happened this year, it's been a darn good one for the hobby. #Miniaturepainting #minipainting #endofyear #warhammer #Warhammer40k #marvelcrisisprotocol #mcp #bloodbowl

OH MY GOD NAGOSHI WHAT THE HELL #GANGOFDRAGON #MADONGSEOK

This is so wild. #Yakuza #LikeADragonGaiden #LikeADragon #Kiryu #Kaito #Judgment

The whiplash I see from miniature painters who use AI art for their profile pics is starting to get to me. I wonder how they'd react if I built an AI algorithm that scrubbed through their profiles for minipainting and posted models of their work saying "Look what I made." I'm pissy today.

I'm beginning to realize I really, really hate the term "slop" when referring to things people don't like or think are low-effort. I recently heard "friendslop" to refer to party games and had an immediate visceral reaction. Let people enjoy dumb shit together. Is "experienceslop" next?

Friendly reminder that I've got a huge sale running on my shop that ends this weekend! Check it out before it ends! www.artbyqbii.com/shop

I LOVE ANIMATION

If the world were a just place, @tastinghistory.bsky.social would be a show on the Food Network where Max would focus on a country each season and have each episode be him doing a dish like on YouTube, then eating the authentic thing.

Absolute perfection. These people are so annoying.

Lost Judgment done and dusted. Was not expecting to like the story as much as I did. @onsta.bsky.social I don't known if you ever finished it, but it's worth it.

Watching this idiot who tried to "play both sides" show her whole ass and be punished for it is so satisfying. Silence is taking a side, and she sided with the group that see her as an object. Now she can't turn back to the side that was *kinda* neutral to her because of her cowardice.

A finished commission of both Marneus Calgar and Cato Sicarius! Pretty neat characters and I had a lot of fun learning how to improve my power sword game. #SpaceMarine #Warhammer40k #GamesWorkshop #miniaturepainting #Ultramarines #MarneusCalgar #CatoSicarius

@onsta.bsky.social Watching you play the Yakuza and Judgement games apparently got me through 2025.

Your daily reminder that a majority of the items in my shop are on sale currently! www.artbyqbii.com/shop

Urban Reign The gameplay doesn't even really need to be updated, just add more stuff to it. I'd still kill for a Yakuza game with Urban Reign's combat engine + Rush moves.

Good morning, Bluesky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fju...

Use only one art piece to convince people to follow you!

Like the sign says, there's a **HUGE** holiday sale happening over at the online store! No discount or coupon code needed! Sale runs from now until Dec 14th! So shop small and grab some goodies for your loved ones or yourself to stuff in stockings and under the tree! www.artbyqbii.com/shop

It's almost like these rules existed for a reason. "Every safety rule and regulation is written in blood"

One of my favorite models and characters from Warhammer 40k: Captain Darnath Lysander! I love that he finally got a new model and that it looks fantastic. I hope the paint job did him justice! #Warhammer40k #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #CaptainLysander #ImperialFists #MiniaturePainting #SpaceMarine

This doesn't surprise me at all and, honestly, I think it's making the franchise better. Now if only they'd stop trying to quash concerns about hiring a friggen' sex pest

I needed this boost.

Watching boisterous, outspoken women trying to emulate Donald Trump's style of rhetoric and bullying lose convincingly really does show you how their constituents really think, doesn't it? #IAMSPEAKING #IAMLOSING

So apparently everyone is just grumpy at work today. The last two calls I've recieved have started with "So your department gave us this shitty *insert thing here that works fine*" By the end of the day, the calls are just going to be "I'm going to beat you up unless you reset my passwords."

c.org/NPKNbnKQ5d This guy's a sex pest who assaulted three women and his apology amounted to "At least I didn't murder my parents, like my cousin did." If you care about RGG and their games, why by and large have a message of kindness and compassion, please consider signing this.

I've had an awful 7 days, a large part due to having to put my dog to sleep, so instead I want to focus on things that make me happy: I love seeing people of "less popular" franchises hold that candle for it proudly. Love what you love for you, but it brings me joy to see it.

Painted Logan Grimnar to as high a level as I could. I goofed bad by not dry-fitting the wolves into the base before I glued it down and did all the basing. Shame on me. Otherwise though I think he turned out pretty darn good. #warhammer40k #spacewolves #logangrimnar #miniaturepainting

The dub for #LostJudgment is truly phenomenal. Normally, a dub messes with brain. Between the "wrong" audio and lips not matching the words, it drives me nuts. That's not happening with this game. Awesome job by RGG and the dubbing team. #Likeadragon #Yakuza #Judgment

My website it back up! Which means my shop is back up! Which means you're now able to get goodies from me if you haven't been able to before now! As it stands I have no more events for the rest of the year, so this will be the best place to grab something of mine! www.artbyqbii.com/shop

#LostJudgment really fixes the issues I had with Dragon Engine combat in #YakuzaKiwami2 and #Yakuza6. It feels so good to play.

A little acting choice I love in this scene where Hamazaki gives Majima the unsolicited shoulder rub is how he drifts down into the frame completely in profile, and then swivels his head around to face Majima as a completely separate action, it has this uncanny inhuman quality, like a shark

New Bounty pages just landed over on my Patreon for all paid tiers! tinyurl.com/5bkpuyhz

I find it funny how the venn diagram between "fans" complaining about the newest *thing* being slop that paypigs mindlessly consume and proponents of AI art is basically a single circle.

A mini for a #Bloodbowl commission. This is the first "Display tier" job I've gotten in a while and I'm pretty happy with how he came out. A lot of fun to paint high-level details. #warhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #commission

I strongly dislike every one of the new designs, but that won't diminish my desire to play the game. #Yakuza3 #Kiwami3 #RGG #LikeADragon #Yakuza

#RGGdirect I really miss the old likenesses for the characters in #Yakuza3, it gave them a lot of personality, but I'm still hyped as hell for #Kiwami3

It's been a minute, but a commission done: A #Bloodbowl #gnomes team themed in the client's alma mater. The colors being autumn-themed helped this one really come together and I had a lot of fun painting it. #warhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

Can't believe it only took two weeks to be back here.

I got a new jacket from work for helping out with a project and I realized, between it and my hair, I could do a quick and dirty #Tanimura cosplay if I ever wanted to #Yakuza4 #Yakuza #Likeadragon
