I can't even make a joke. This is just horrifying stuff.

Getting some urban dazzle camo on my Urbie LAM here! #Battletech #Battletechhobby #Battletechminiatures #paintedminiatures #mecha #mechwarrior

Finishing up Battletech Universe today and this artwork really stood out to me. I love it!!!

Mechwarrior Ivor of the Snow Ravens inadvertently piloted his Vapour Eagle into a pirate ambush while on patrol. He is confident that this is more of a mistake for the pirates than for him. #battletech

Continuing to work through the #Davion force packs in #newivaarsenchasseurs flavor, we have the #Hellspawn. Wasn't familiar with this one and I look forward to using it. #FederatedSuns #battletech #alphastrike #minipainting #miniatures #painting #tabletop #wargaming

Bigger than this, I think people should be more skeptical of online leftism that says, "Actually, under capitalism I don't owe other people anything." Oh, your communal philosophy says you can be interpersonally vicious and steal from other people? How convenient!

Perfect time for me to bring up that I think the *actual* best trilogy is Andor - Rogue One - Star Wars. It's about how an anti-fascist rebellion coalesces and scores its first major victory, and ramps up the stakes from "a brawl in a rainy alley" to "the last space wizard blows up a moon."

Got an update here. Like I posted earlier, I got some bad news today. It's nothing I want to discuss yet, but I've got more appointments coming up to work this out and find a path forward. I do still need financial help, so here's my links. Thank you. GFM: gofund.me/3345f334 PP: paypal.me/colbosch

Their one big thing - Paypal - was an obvious niche to be filled, and they did it in the most half-assed way possible. It survived through luck and marketing. Everything they're done since has been worse than Paypal, which is really freaking saying something.

The green and gray is a custom unit called Flavell's Regiment. The green and orange is a semi-canon unit named the 1st Baligorean Fusiliers. The Bounty Hunters are actually their canon scheme for the 3150s era.

Death Company Mercs, lead by Alison Aran in her grandfather's refit Orion ON2-M. Preparing for 3 month contract with the Alyina Mercantile League on Apolakkia. December... Mechwarriors, prepare for combat.

Reset.

You know what's another word for a retired officer? A civilian. I suspect this is their test case to try for those military tribunals of private citizens that QAnon wanted so badly.

I painted up the Alpha Strike box set for a friend. #battletech #battletechminiatures #alphastrike #mech #mecha #mechwarrior #miniatures #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting #catalystgamelabs #6mm

His name is Sweetalker and doesn't have a full model in game yet!

"It'll be a cake walk, intel says it's a second-line Star." The second-line Star in question:

Oh hey, that specific thing that clear-headed researchers said was going to happen, happened.

There is no better anti AI advertisement than the newest worst campaign in COD history, BLOPS 7

I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me. I wrote: "The game constantly utilized AI generated options that were not present in the marketing for the game as well as videos and screenshots of the material." Shocked they did TBH

Black Ops 7 is a failure to be celebrated. It is the vanguard of the worst possible iteration of the game's industry and I pray its abject failure staves off a disastrous second half of the decade. Devs and players alike benefit from this game's poor sales. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6udz...

yeah okay i saw the image posted again and noticed some bizarre artifacts in places except for the location fields. bumped the contrast/exposure and yeah it's 100% edited. would be hilarious if it wasn't

So much for people making hay over the DHS thing

jpeg compression on the original screenshot prob

okay this image is weird. when i pasted it in gimp the artifacts became a lot less noticeable. same thing when i move my browser window to a different monitor. but yeah i bumped the exposure on the image to make the editing much more clear

I don't mind it that much, but the amount of people who bizarrely only seem to know things about the franchise from them is concerning. I'm not expecting decades of Sarna contribution lore knowledge from people, but memes as gospel and a lack of willingness to learn more?

I feel the memes sometimes, unfortunately, make people hyperfocus on a few things, and forget or not try out new aspects of the space. So often I've tried to bring light to one mech or another, only for someone to ALWAYS go "nah I got ____ I dont need anything else". Variety is the spice of life.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Oops, last photos were far too bright. Here's the adjusted ones for the olive DOL-1A1 Dola, a rare metal miniature on my bench. #BattleTech

Look. Pirate Argonians are just Yarrgonians

If you want to make noises like this, I have commission slots open!

Wait - what? MAP SCALE LEOPARD DROPSHIP? #Battletech

Four of BattleTech's five 3025-era Successor Lords. I'm sure none of them considered themself a villain, but each is responsible for untold suffering and death. (Not pictured is Takashi Kurita, because his paint scheme is impossible.)

it's one thing to say as a taxpayer "I want my tax dollars to put Greg Bovino on the stand for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death," it's quite another to do it *as the most powerful man in the world, currently overseeing military operations against your own citizens*

Little batch of Hastati Sentinels as a break from my other projects. #battletech #miniaturepainting

This guy is still vibin' on top of my PC.

Hel (Loki Mk II) mechs generally carry insane loadouts, and the "C" configuration is no different. Four ATM 12 launchers fed by 10 tons of ammo. What a beast! I kitbashed and painted this one up for my Clan Sea Fox Live Fire Demonstration Galaxy. #Battletech #Battletechhobby #mechwarrior

If you can help, I could really use it right now. Links to my GoFundMe and my direct Paypal are below. I really don't want to die over a few thousand bucks; I hope I'm worth that much. Thank you. GFM: gofund.me/3345f334 Paypal: paypal.me/colbosch
