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

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.

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

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.
All the emotions you need for a character to feel fully fleshed out - smiling slightly while looking to the left, smiling slightly while looking to the right, smiling slightly while closing your eyes and facing left.

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.

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.

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"?

I know 100% of this is gibbering corpo bullshit, but I expecially wonder about "extremely excited about the progress we've got ahead of us." It's a stretch to be excited about progress that hasn't happened yet, but claiming to be "extremely excited" about some mundane work thing is a bit pathetic.
It's important to remember that this is how executives in the games industry are talking about art. The workers at Boss Fight and Netflix Games at large deserve better.
