I stumbled upon a politics/news channel on Youtube that's AI from start to finish: thumbnails, writing, imagery. The actual talking head must be a CGI avatar driven by AI input, to avoid issues with consistency, but my wife points out that the structure of the background shifts between videos.

And a third #BloodBowl rando, one I've actually played in the video game: For the Murderbliss Heartrenders, it's the Witch Elf, #9, Trixie Murder! I don't think her teammates have room to paint their number on their ass, but Trixie didn't give me many other options. #miniaturepainting

I painted this Skaven Gutter Runner for #BloodBowl. For the Verminox Rathearts, it's #12 (though he *thinks* 13), Skabis Plaquepaw! It's weird to enjoy painting a gutter runner. It's like enjoying incubating a COVID virus. #miniaturepainting

I painted some Blood Bowl randos that spoke to me, from their place on my shelf where I've been ignoring them for years. They deserve better! First up, this stalwart Amazon Linewoman of the Ratcitoctl Raincats, #3 Extri Yaretzi! #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting #procrastination (repost for alt text)

Thanksgiving dinner was a Sunday roast, with parsnips and carrots and potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and gravy. It turned out OK; but I was on my feet for most of the afternoon, juggling food through a single oven and washing every dish twice, and at the end, it’s a bit cold. Enh. Overrated.

Mais oui monsieur, our artisan palette paper is produced right here on the floor, measured and cut on the finest office mat.

I painted another little Fire Warrior, because that mix of blue and green is my other obsession. I'm up to a whole four of these now! For the Greater Good, In Strict Moderation. #WarhammerCommunity #miniaturepainting

I painted a test Guardsman! I guess I want a combat patrol box that looks cool on a shelf. I'm not sure what the unit is called or which logo to use, but I'm enjoying that AK Faded Green and need to tackle myself to keep from using it everywhere. #WarhammerCommunity #miniaturepainting

And no matter the game, this is all right:

I've been playing Wartales again because I like the sound this makes:

Happy Man Day! This should happen on Monday.

I painted the Blood Bowl Troll -- but obviously, this is #8, STINKY 'ENRY, Big Guy for the 'Eadkrakk 'Eavies. The goblin had a name, but is dead now. #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting

I just spent all night taking photos of my Blood Bowl troll, stacking and blending in Photoshop, and just realized the whole mini is slathered in static grass.

hey. Check out this squirrel

No spoilers for Leviathan Falls, an almost six year-old book, but it would be amusing and murderously obnoxious if the book ends mid-sentence and the rest of the binding is filled with blank pages. Elvi is working through the problem of aliens learning to shut off human consciousness, when sud

I love an alignment meme.

Wishlists for the next republic: Strictly representational government, no senate. Term limits on judges. Budget not met, trigger an election like Canada does. Short election cycles. Two months max. Funds for all candidates who hit ballot percentages. Ranked choice voting.

wtf? I’d be happy to accept there was more to the production of the Coke commercial than prompt and publish, but much of the evidence meant to evoke studios full of human artists is a lie.

Paint clutter is no match for Work In Progress Troll!

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I use shallots, tomato paste, and Top Ramen, but this is a wonderful way to elevate ramen into something like an edible hug. It's easy, filling, and cheap.

Sally the horned lycanthrope. #zombieskulltober day #21

I painted Badglug and Klottgrim for #Orktober! Not sure which is which. #WarhammerCommunity #miniaturepainting

My download speeds are 20x slower on my PC, connected directly to our home WiFi, than through a hotspot on my phone, connected to the same WiFi. Is the phone doing some Bladerunner Enhance on network speeds? It's amazing technology.

The Horned Rat gifts many plagues to Spirit-Ghost Halloween, yes-yesss.

In Wartales, there's a quest where peasants steal some rich dickhead's horse. You're sent to track them down. When you find them, praying and shivering in terror, the options are: 1) accept the stolen horse as a gift and raise your Wanted level; 2) MURDER. No "alas, couldn't find 'em, guv, sorry"?

Do Androids Dream of Uptoown Lergevhtiepsappe?

TIL that "0xDEADBEEF" is a real thing, and not just the best NPC name in Riptide GP Renegade.

Turn-based tactical game where you provide for a band of survivors by harvesting crops, scavenging ruins, and raiding the bunkers of billionaire preppers who don't deserve nice things.

When a cat swats something, is that a punch or a kick?

My autistic seven year-old likes whales and iPads, and has combined these interests into a pitch for a game where you press a button and hear the voice of each of his whale toys. Playing through the game by tapping each button and listening to his impression is freaking adorable.

Human artists! Post a piece to convince people to follow you! Gracie from #Malifaux was my favorite thing I painted in 2021. I’ve been painting super-people for a while, but she’s still dear to me. This is really a painter’s miniature. #miniaturepainting

I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

What does your Ea-Nasir look like? To me he's a John Rhys Davies character, sucking cloves and gesturing expansively.

I'm respectfully dumping anyone who shares outrage screenshots and lets dickheads slide into my feed. Life is a bonfire right now and I don't have room for what the Nazi wrote.

Maya's traversal doesn't take into account conditionals, like whether you're in IK or FK mode. I've put up with it, scripting around controller tags, for years. I finally wrote a custom pickwalk that I can easily add to my rigging workflow. #3danimation #maya

I'm having a lot of trouble with this. Like, paralyzed.

Today I discovered that cassettes were the best-selling format for music for only about seven years, thirty years ago. I don't often feel my mortality but this has me shook.

Democrats need to play to win. Everyone agrees. Their failure to try has led to children being zip-tied in the dark by masked thugs. So, Grijalva vows to vote against releasing the Epstein files. Jeffries is furious, publicly. They swear her in. She then votes to release the Epstein files. Easy?

I painted America Chavez, sculpted by C27 Miniatures! Now I've painted this and the Ultimates version, I believe that's all the Americas 'til AMG makes the official rules. Bring it! Hey, I'd love it if you followed my Insta. www.instagram.com/that_darn_sa... #miniaturepainting #marvel #america

I painted Rogue '97, sculpted by C27 Miniatures! #miniaturepainting #xmen #marvel

I realize I bought a $5 jar of molasses for 1 tsp of it. The level at the top of the jar didn’t even change. I am on the hook for *so* many cookies now. I bought a whole orange for 1/4 tsp of zest. Not as bad — you can eat an extra orange without the same stigma as drinking extra molasses.

This is Lady Eleanor from this month's Loot Studios STL release. Not sure who sculpted it, but they're all great! Pleeeeaaaase let me animate this as a Souls boss.

"Every CEO talking about AI replacing workers is an example of the real problem: ... most companies are run by people who don’t understand or experience the problems they’re solving, don’t do any real work, don’t face any real problems, and thus can never be trusted to solve them." Goddamn fuck yes

I painted Rivals Emma Frost from C27 Miniatures, and official Emma Frost from AMG, for #MarvelCrisisProtocol! I think I'm done with white for awhile. Maybe a nice red? Let's find something red to paint. #miniaturepainting #Marvel
