It's stream time! Walls walls walls walls. We will paint walls until they are DONE! twitch.tv/escherichiacole

It's bonus stream time! It's Hobby Holiday so let's spend some more time on these walls! I'm almost done all of the silver paint 😅 twitch.tv/escherichiacole

Good news, everyone! I will be doing a bonus stream this afternoon! Starting at 1pm. These walls will be painted, I swear.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Merry Christmas! Even if you don't celebrate I hope everyone gets to spend some good time with their family and friends today. Bring more joy and good into the world, this day and every day.

Me whispering to my yeast: “Listen, guys, I know your package says you were best before April 2025. Frankly we all were doing a lot better before April. But it’s Christmas time and I really need you for these buns. Do you think you can proof for me, just for the holidays?”

It’s stream time! We have two wall pieces left to paint the silver metallics on. Twitch.tv/escherichiacole

And i can see you your bronze helm shining in the sun you're writing laws out now that apply to everyone and i can tell you that Babylon will still be strong after the boys of Sumer have gone

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

It’s stream time! Hobby Holiday continues as I paint more walls! We grind ever closer to completion. Twitch.tv/escherichiacole

Reminder that it is Hobby Holiday! I will be a doing a bonus stream tonight at 6pm. We will finish this terrain set before the holidays are over I swear.

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears. Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

You vs. the guy she told you not to worry about.

It's stream time! I want to try and finish off my Boarding Actions terrain this year so it's the start of Hobby Holiday! twitch.tv/escherichiacole

It's stream time! Let's keep working on chunk 12. twitch.tv/escherichiacole

Everyone else go home — this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow chicagoshovels.org

I think one of my biggest issues with current AI hype is that so much of the proposed ideas are ones that could be done quicker and easier with a simple program. Using AI to process a document is using a supercomputer to run a spreadsheet function. It's unnecessary.

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

We all agree that Frieren is autistic, right? Like, I don't know if she was intentionally written that way, but she really reads like she's on the spectrum.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

It's stream time! Let's dig some holes in Minecraft! twitch.tv/escherichiacole

I applaud Skate Canada for taking a principled stance to support figure skaters and oppose Smith's awful, awful legislation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The complete and repeated failure of CEOs everywhere to simply Not Say Words in Public

*walking in a winter wonderland* ME: where's bluebird? BIRD: gone ME: w... who are you? *bird looks around shiftily* BIRD: I'm new bird

Correction: my brother's office was in the evac zone. Their home is on high ground and they are safe for now.

Just found out that my brother's place was part of the Renton flood evac. I'm hoping everything is ok down there.

Happy Hannukah!

It’s stream time! I have just one model left in the Canoptek Circle to paint so let’s get it done! Twitch.tv/escherichiacole

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

behold, the platonic ideal of social media

Thanks to your amazing generosity this year, we were once again able to present @childsplaycharity.bsky.social with an astoundingly large amount on a comically larger than average check. In all seriousness, this cannot happen with your continued support. We love you all. 📸: @dabe.bsky.social

I think it says a lot about me that one of the first things I thought seeing the Total War 40K trailer was "Red banding, that's Ultramarines 3rd Company, right?" I may be a gigantic nerd. youtu.be/QeCItSg-wmI?...

It's stream time! I have returned one tooth lighter but that's won't stop me from doing what I love: Digging that hole. twitch.tv/escherichiacole

H-Hi there... 🥵

You used to have to do a layer or two of analysis to arrive at "Generative AI is fascist, don't use it."

Heads up, there will be no stream tonight. I'm still a little sore from my dental work yesterday. Streams should return on Thursday.

You know how I said I was doing a painting stream today? What if instead I was really tired and dug a hole instead? twitch.tv/escherichiacole

All righty, we got the all clear this time. Follow Dan as he explores the "cost" of a Desert Bus:

I wonder if GW will actually plan a product release for when this drops. Not like Space Marine 2 where we didn't see Titus in stores for months afterwards. Blood Ravens upgrade pack anyone 👀? youtu.be/b-yiTAKbCKc?...
