Hey @backerkit.com , I do like hearing about new projects, but 9 in 45 minutes is way too many. It sure would be nice if there were a way to limit how much unprompted stuff I get from y'all. But also it would be even better if they were "opt in" notifications, frankly unsubbing 'em all is a chore...

I was required to sign a non disparagement agreement with Media Labs and am not legally allowed to discuss what is going on. @lastweektonight.com however, has not signed such an agreement.

Indiana is a hostile place to trans people and every single one of you I saw at GenCon are the bravest and most beautiful people in the world and I'm glad we were out there visible and bold in the face of this cruel and heartless world. Each of you were a walking balm of gold out there.

I think Morathi is the most recent winged, at least that I've got good pictures of. I also painted the Phoenix from #kdm recently but don't have a decent picture of it to hand.

credit card companies determining what a platform can & can't have, especially when it comes to adult content, is BAD FOR US. they already banned things as innocuous as bunny girls (& way more) on fansly, and now they're gonna try Steam.

Got my first real game of #trenchcrusade in. Lost 4 to 5... But it was very much down to which of us succeeded the last relic recovery roll in the final round and Cole got it in the fourth attempt...

More progress on my #mordheim #frostgrave #Warhammer #dnd terrain. The roofs aren't glued on yet ( I want to glue in some rubble first) so I made sure to label which goes to which.

Making some progress on some slightly ruined fantasy houses for #Mordheim #Frostgrave #warhammer #d&d etc. using an approximation of Black Magic Craft's protective coat (PVA, water and cheap craft paint) to seal the foam plus prime. Cheap basting brush bought for $1.25 after thanksgiving.

Even if we were to accept that AI Slop could be art, the ecological harm is just too high, never mind that vastly unethical nature of most of these "tools". Sure, you might be able to make a pleasant tune on a flute made from the bones of a baby - but that doesn't make it ethical.
When photography came out, painters thought it couldn't be art.
When Photoshop came out, lab based photographers thought it couldn't be art.
Humans driving new tools will always be artists, and humans shunning new tools will fade away.

Slacker (1990), 1917, Here, and Daddio all have something in common. Can you add another film to the list with the same criteria?

Base shapes for some #trenchCrusade terrain. I chamfered the edges at about 60 degrees. This should be more than enough for a 4*4 table

Played a small game of Stargrave - kind of a bummer my opponent rolled so poorly, he managed to take out 1 of my crew and get one loot. I ended up charging the Raykaken (sp?) instead of just running away and one shotted it. We had fun & it was nice to get some use out of my converted Giff of Votann.
