Working towards 2000, not necessarily the best list but 2000 is the goal, not having the top meta list. #warhammer #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #stormcasteternals #ageofsigmar

My 9 favorite games: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid, The Last of US, Rachet & Clank (all of them), Tetris (the GOAT), Super Mario Bros 3, Elden Ring, and Dead Cells.

I've been gaming since the invention of video games. It was so hard to make this list, but I let my heart guide. The tool didn't have Super Mario Bros 3 (at least it didn't come up for me) so that ALL-Stars is a stand-in for that.

Hey California, a billionaire cannot be a progressive it’s not possible. They are mutually exclusive states of being.

A progressive would never hoard wealth like a dragon. And dragons are well known to be conservatives. An actual progressive would donate excess wealth to their communities.

Did I spend an entire session over painting a base that will never be seen again? Yes I did and it was a blast!! #warhammer #miniaturepainting #hobby #wip #bloodangels #warhammer40k

you never know when something you've said will have a lasting affect on someone else. this is why I try to lead with kindness. good and bad your words will weigh on someone, and you may never know. love you!

AI prototyping isn't design. it's skipping to a step that lets non designers weigh-in. it's a shortcut to consensus, the real problem is when the design loses control cause speed becomes the measure over quality. KEEP designing nuance and detail, it's the actual job.

if it's just a seam, the paint works really good so long as you don't dry brush over it, as that'll catch the seam and make it stand out. Also though seams in cloaks and robes can be disguised as part of the sculpt. I prefer the paint method for most issues personally.

You could have all the accessibility toolkits and plugins and AI agents in the world and it still won’t mean much if your design practice itself is ableist.

Unlearning the ableism we are all taught is a much more important part of this work.

I should know, I’ve been doing it.

depends on the gap and location. can't see it, leave it. If it's wide and/or prominent I use green stuff, though I hate it.

Smaller I use sprue goo or plastic putty.

Sometimes I miss the gaps until it's too late then I disguise them as much as possible with paint.

it's so much more disappointing when coming from people I know to be highly intelligent and knowledgable about the underlying tech.

a screenshot of two videos the leftmost video is titled "Jamie Campbell Bower Answers The Web's Most Searched Questions" The thumbnail showing Jamie genuinely smiling into camera. the rightmost video is titled "MrBeast Answers The Web's Most Searched Questions" The thumbnail is showing Jimmy doing his trademark facsimile of a smile.

the stark difference between smiling, and performing a smile.

AI doesn't produce "professional results" it produces facsimiles of copies of stolen IP.

I would love to be there, but I don't think I could handle the stewardship responsibilities for that many friends.

Aware and pissed. It’s possible to be specific and not invalidate other suffering. It’s all bad.

we can't move forward and heal as a people until we all recognize our own parts in what is, and what has happened in our name and with our tax dollars and our apathy and detachment.

it's the business of the US. we've been historically awful to all non-white people since forever. it's not just one group, we're all responsible for this.
